Brightspace Content is Getting Upgraded
Beginning with the Fall 2027 semester, Brightspace courses will default to the New Content Experience. 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 default, your course homepage is a widget-based page that you are able to edit. Typically there are announcements and calendar items on this page, in addition to some external tools. If you prefer your course to start with the Content tab or an external URL instead of on a course homepage, you are able to change your homepage settings to redirect to something else.
