Brightspace Courses |
|
Brightspace course sites have been created for all Winter & Spring 2024 (West Campus, HSC & Southampton). To access Brightspace, go to brightspace.stonybrook.edu and click the Login button. Login with your NetID username and password. Under My Courses on the left, you can see your courses for each semester (scroll to the right to see by semester). IF you do not see a course you are teaching, check SOLAR to be sure you are the instructor on record before submitting a service ticket at service.stonybrook.edu |

|
Who has access? |
|
Students are automagically added/dropped and you can add TA's and other instructors to your course if you wish. If you are not using Brightspace OR do not wish for your students to have access while you build your class, make your class inactive*. *Once you have your course set up, remember to reactivate it so students have access prior to the beginning of the semester. |
|
|
Can I reuse content? |
|
Yes you can! Your courses are currently active. We strongly recommend that you make your class inactive prior to copying content. Why? If you do not set your new course(s) to inactive and then copy content from old courses, students will receive notifications if they have opted into being notified of new content, new assignments, etc. Since, by default, "new announcements" are set for all, if you copy old announcements, all of the students in the new course will receive notifications (email and/or) text with the old announcements. Third Party tools, such as Echo360 & VoiceThread, will need to be re-linked. Directions are available here. Looking for old Blackboard content? Content from all Blackboard courses from Fall 2021 -Spring 2023 is in the "Conversions" term on your My Courses section. |
