CETLL invites all faculty to virtual training sessions on advanced features in Brightspace. Gradebook and Engaging Learners will begin with a live demonstration followed by a hands-on/Q&A period during which you can apply what you’ve learned to your own course.  

All sessions will take place on Zoom. The live demonstrations will be recorded and shared with faculty who registered. 

We'll wrap up the semester with Ask Me Anything, where you’re invited to ask any questions about Brightspace. This session will not be recorded.
