Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning & Leadership

Brightspace 2.0 Training

This fall, the Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Leadership (CETLL) is offering a series of workshops covering advanced features in Brightspace.

Sessions on each topic will be offered twice, in order to accommodate faculty schedules.

We will end the semester with “Ask Me Anything”, where we encourage you to ask any questions you have about Brightspace.

Each session will begin with a demonstration, followed by a hands-on period where you can apply what you learned to your Brightspace course.Ìý
