Brightspace
Brightspace is Stony Brook's official learning management system (LMS). All courses have a Brightspace site and it is up to the Instructor if they wish to use the system. Staff who are seeking to offer online training can request sites for their departments as well!
All courses are in Brightspace and it is up to Instructors if they want to use Brightspace. Instructors who chose to use Brightspace need to make their course available for students. If students see a course in SOLAR and not Brightspace, they need to ask their instructor if they are using Brightspace
