In this session we’ll focus on creating and previewing Assignment (individual and group), settings and connecting Assignments to Grades, editing and reordering Assignments, evaluating student submissions (including annotations and rubrics), and using the Submission Log for tracking student work.

Your fall Blackboard course has been migrated (copied) to Brightspace. So now what do you do? Join us for an overview that describes what you can expect and will help you assess your course holistically, identify which of your migrated materials need attention, and what your next steps might be. (If you have detailed questions about specific tools in Brightspace, consider attending one of our Spotlight Labs.)

How your content displays in your migrated Brightspace course depends on your Blackboard organizational choices. In this lab, we’ll show you strategies for handling some of the common organizational challenges. This session will be particularly helpful if your Blackboard course contained a multi-level folder structure, multiple Blackboard “Items” in folders, and had a complex Course Menu. Enrollment is limited so we can better your address specific questions.

These three tools don't exist in Brightspace, so this workshop will focus on alternative methods for journaling, blogging, and wiki-ing to meet your instructional goals. We will show how to clean up references to the old tools and set up the new options in both Brightspace and MS Teams. Enrollment is limited so we can better your address specific questions.

This workshop covers the details about how to check Discussions in your courses that were migrated from Blackboard. We will demonstrate where all your Discussions are found (group and whole class), how Forums function in Brightspace, and how Blackboard threads translate to Brightspace Topics.

The Brightspace tool--for what in Blackboard is called Tests--is Quizzes. This workshop covers the details about how to check how your tests and quizzes migrated into your Brightspace course. We will demonstrate where and how to check your quizzes and question pools (if you used them in Blackboard) and discuss options for connecting them to Brightspace’s Grade Tool. Enrollment is limited so we can better address your specific questions.

In this session we’ll focus on how content is added and organized in Brightspace (modules and topics), adding content and powerful tools like Video Note and the Accessibility Checker, content settings (visibility, date restrictions), tips for using the HTML editor, and linking to course activities

In Brightspace, the Quiz tool is used for both quizzes and tests.  In this session we’ll show the workflow for creating quizzes, including creating questions and question types, creating a question library, building a Quiz, grading a Quiz, and Quiz statistics and logs.

This session introduces Brightspace and focuses on finding your way in the Brightspace environment, course settings and personal profiles, the course navigation bar, home page, and table of contents, and a brief look at content and course tools e.g., Announcements, Calendar, Discussion, Assignments, and Quizzes.

"Tea for Teaching is a higher education podcast hosted by SUNY Oswego’s Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching. Join us in Howe Memorial Library 303 or on Teams to listen to this episode on strategies for building inclusive learning environments while taking care of our instructor-selves. The episode features a panel discussion with Michelle Miller (author of Minds Online: teaching Effectively with Technology and Remembering and Forgetting the Age of Technology); Liz Norell, currently working on a book titled Why Presence Matters in High Quality Learner-Center Equitable Learning Spaces, and Kelvin Thompson, host of the Teaching Online Podcast.

We’ll listen to the episode together (it’s about 30 minutes) and spend the rest of the time talking about what we’ve heard. If you are participating remotely, you can listen to the podcast on your own device and join us via Teams for discussion."
