Training 

To get you started on Brightspace, we have a number of recordings available to you in this section.

The first are 3 recorded sessions  which give an introduction to the various elements available within Brightspace, and will give you enough information and instruction to starting adding content to your module. The videos include a table of contents outlining the content of each session, and important links (such as links to TopDesk and the Brightspace Knowledge Base). Once you've viewed the videos, use your Sandbox to practice your new skills. 

We also have recorded sessions available on using the Quiz tool in Brightspace. These videos look at the Quiz tool in a little more detail than Sessions 1-3. 

You might also like to take a look at how your colleagues use Brightspace at UL.
