Employee Resources

This is a self-paced micro-course. You can access this resource in our Employee Learning Catalogue.

Algonquin College uses Brightspace, a Learning Management System (LMS), to provide a digital learning experience for all learners. This collection of resources and teaching guides is provided so that faculty can learn (or relearn) about how they might use various features and functions of the system to engage learners and enhance their learning experiences.

This course is intended to replace the original Brightspace Essentials course from the Academic Brightspace site, which will no longer be updated.

To request a group training session, please email Learning and Teaching Services, lts@algonquincollege.com

The following are the sessions we offer:

• Rubrics
• Using Turnitin in Brightspace
• Grades
• Quizzes and Tests
• Brightspace Essentials
• Grading Learners

Alternatively, you can book a one-on-one appointment for coaching on how best to use Brightspace to bring your teaching and learning ideas to life.
