Brightspace Content is Getting Upgraded
Beginning with the Fall 2027 semester, Brightspace courses will begin using the New Content Experience by default. Additionally, Instructors now have the ability to enable or disable the New Content Experience in their own courses ahead of the change in Fall 2027. For more information about this transition, see our New Content Experience Transition page.
By shifting Brightspace support to a more centralized model, with multiple Instructional Technologists housed at the聽Institute for the Advancement of Higher Education (AdvancED), 自慰视频 instructors will receive more robust assistance in using the course management system efficiently and effectively.
We look forward to providing technical and pedagogical support to Brightspace users in the 自慰视频 community.
