Post-Migration: Content Placeholders

Credit-Bearing Courses

Instructors should consider content migrated from credit-bearing courses as a starting point for future courses. Instructors can review and make changes to the migrated content and then copy the desired content to course shells for upcoming semesters.

Administrative Courses

Administrative courses with migrated content are the course shells that course owners will use moving forward. Course owners decide when to start using the courses in Brightspace.

Brightspace's Awards tool allows instructors to create badges and certificates.  

• Issue Awards to Recognize Learner Accomplishments
• Awards - Create a Badge - Instructor (Video)
• Awards - Create a Badge - Instructor (Video)
  
• Faculty: Creating Certificates to be used for Brightspace by D2L Awards (Video)

Brightspace does not have a journals tool, but instructors can recreate the functionality by creating single-member groups (Number of Users per group set to one) and adding a group discussion area for each group.

• Creating and Editing Groups
  
• Creating Group Work Areas for Your Student

To avoid permission issues for student viewers, Panopto videos need to be added back into courses.
