The Content tool is one of the most important and frequently used tools in course sites. This is where instructors will structure the layout and flow of how all learning materials and course activities will be presented and accessed by their learners. The modular format of this tool makes it easy for instructors to organize content and schedule course activities into cohesive sections to help students easily and successfully progress through their courses.
The following is a collection of print and multimedia Brightspace support resources to help instructors get started with structuring, creating, and uploading learning materials on their course sites. Instructors are encouraged to visit the appropriate sections under the Pedagogy Toolkit on our website for ideas and resources to help them with designing and delivering their courses.
