Schedule and registration for York hosted faculty workshops

On this page you will find the schedule and registration links for both online and in-person hands-on workshops for faculty on Brightspace conducted by CTLET.

In addition to workshops on spacific tools, the workshop on Building a course from scratch to be ready for the first day of the semester provides a good overview of the Brightspace platform and guides you to make your course ready for the start of the semester. It includes:

• Customizing your BrS environment to meet your personal needs
• Reviewing and managing your notification and account settings
• Defining your course organization, sequence and navigation and implementing them
• Posting syllabus and other course materials in text, audio or video format
• Setting up the grade book (based on your grading policy stated in the syllabus)
• Creating a syllabus quiz (to help students get most out of your syllabus)
• Creating a discussion forum topic for students to introduce themselves
• Viewing your course as a student
• Making your course available to students
• Posting a welcome announcement

The workshop schedule for summer will be ready at the end of May.
