LMS Weekly Update: Get ready for Winter 2019

Posted on Wednesday, November 28th, 2018

The Winter 2019 courses will be created in Brightspace by Nov. 30, 2018. If you are scheduled in Genesis to teach a Winter course, it will be listed in “My Courses” in Brightspace under the 2019W tab.

A course readiness checklist is available here that faculty members can use to ensure their course is ready for the new term. The checklist links to tip sheets for faculty who need assistance preparing content.

 

Your LMS team continues to offer training opportunities for Brightspace.

These include one-hour focused sessions on grading learners, using quizzes, setting up grades, using TurnItIn, and using rubrics. The three-hour Brightspace Essentials workshop is for returning faculty who have not yet completed any Brightspace training.

New faculty are invited to complete training via the Part-Time Faculty Orientation program. Registration is through the PD registration system here.

Faculty can also book appointments for one-on-one support here or drop in to C123 Mondays to Thursdays from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. and Fridays from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
