The first time you log in to Brightspace, you will be prompted to complete the Brightspace Orientation module. This informational module provides you with the information, tips and knowledge you will need in order to navigate online courses in Brightspace.

The orientation module can be accessed at any time by finding the orientation widget below the Student Support Centre widget if you need a refresher on any of the topics.

Once you’ve completed the orientation, you will have access to your homepage, where you can access all your course shells and Brightspace tools.

To access course materials, click on the associated tile. That will take you to the course home page.

Each course has a Course Introduction in the first unit that will introduce your instructor, provide a short summary of the course, and outline other important information about getting started.

Please take a few moments to read through the introduction and contact your teacher if you have any questions.
