• 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 hands-on workshops on Brightspace in June and July will be scheduled based on your availability with the format of your choice. In addition to the topics listed below, you can also request workshops for any other Brightspace tools. Send an email to lmshelp@york.cuny.edu to schedule a personalized workshop for you.
