Getting Started With Brightspace

WELCOME TO BRIGHTSPACE!

You can use Brightspace to view course material, reading lists, goals, quizzes and assignments presented by your instructor. You can complete assignments and quizzes, and then submit them to your instructor for evaluation. After your instructor has evaluated your assignments and quizzes, you can view your grades. You can also monitor your own progress in a course. To communicate with your instructor or other students, you can use an Email tool, or post messages in online discussions.
