many instructors have asked us where students will go to learn about brightspace, vanderbilt\u2019s new course management system.\u00a0while students are always welcome to reach out for\u00a0support<\/a>, we\u00a0put together a list of four important resources that students will find helpful as they navigate this new course management system. instructors can feel free to share this post with students, link to it within their courses, or use the text and links in their syllabuses.<\/p>\n
\u2013> one new feature students\u00a0will encounter in brightspace is the class progress<\/strong> tool that allows students to see all of their course interactions in one place. students should use this tool to see grades and feedback posted by instructors, and to get a detailed view of how they have participated in the course. \u00a0if instructors click on class progress<\/strong>, they will see a list of all the students in the course. by clicking on a particular student, the instructor can see the exact same screen as the student. being able to go to a particular student’s class progress screen and see feedback from their perspectives could be a useful tool for faculty.<\/p>\n
\u2013> another key feature for students is the ability to set course notifications<\/strong> that come to students’ phone or email<\/a>\u00a0. students can choose to get a text message notification<\/strong> every time a new announcement is posted, when an assignment due date is 48 hours away, or for a variety of other course activities including new grades and new content.<\/p>\n
\u2013> in addition, students may want to use the brightspace mobile app<\/strong> called pulse<\/strong>.\u00a0this overview<\/a>\u00a0has more information. the pulse app<\/strong> can be downloaded from app stores and helps students stay plugged into their courses. they can even upload files and images directly from their phones!<\/p>\n
\u2013> and finally, have your students check out our ever-growing list of on-demand resources specifically for student users of brightspace:\u00a0https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/brightspace\/for-students\/<\/a><\/p>\n

1) when you go\u00a0to brightspace at brightspace.vanderbilt.edu<\/a>, you should log on with your vunetid and password through single sign-on. the first page you see is your landing page. every course that instructors have made available to you should be on that landing page.<\/p>\n
