General Information

Brightspace has the potential to enable a shift to a more interactive and contextualised and consistent presentation of modules across a programme. This provides a distinct opportunity to motivate students to engage at a deeper level with learning materials, activities and assessments and to reflectively participate in the learning experience.

This workshop will guide attendees through the process of module design (re-design) in Brightspace. It will outline key design principles and guide how to use the key components to structure a module. It will provide practical advice and demonstrate how to build your module by presenting learning materials, activities and assessments in Brightspace.

It is recommended in advance of attending this workshop participants familiarise themselves with key design principles, steps and guidance available via  Module Design in Brightspace Guide
