Because of this, it would be good practice at some point early on in the course to give the students a brief guide to Brightspace and their units. This should include signposting to the \u2018Brightspace Help\u2019 resources where students can find guidance on a wide selection of interactions, such as navigating Brightspace and submitting assignments, Turnitin, Zoom, Teams etc. and, importantly, how to access the IT Service Desk should they experience any technical issues.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/files\/2022\/09\/BS-Student-help-menu.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14251 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/files\/2022\/09\/BS-Student-help-menu.png\" alt=\"Brightspace student help menu\" width=\"728\" height=\"714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/files\/2022\/09\/BS-Student-help-menu.png 728w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/files\/2022\/09\/BS-Student-help-menu-300x294.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a>\n<h3><strong>Brightspace Staff Resources <\/strong><\/h3>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/files\/2022\/09\/Brightspace-Staff-Resources.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-14221\" src=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/files\/2022\/09\/Brightspace-Staff-Resources.png\" alt=\"Brightspace staff resources menu for staff\" width=\"443\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/files\/2022\/09\/Brightspace-Staff-Resources.png 443w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/files\/2022\/09\/Brightspace-Staff-Resources-253x300.png 253w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 443px) 100vw, 443px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>These resources are restricted to staff only and can be accessed either via the \u2018Guidance by Theme\u2019 option, which offers the tools suitable to the objective that you are wanting to achieve, or via the \u2018Guidance by Tool\u2019 option, which provides an alphabetical list of the available tools.<\/p>\n<p>There is also specific guidance on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Preparing your units; what you need to do to get your unit ready<\/li>\n<li>The Digital Pedagogies Framework, offering guidance and checklists for Unit design and preparation<\/li>\n<li>Workshops and drop-ins being run by FLIE<\/li>\n<li>and much, much more, so grab a tea or coffee and start exploring!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Mobile Access<\/h3>\n<p>Did you know that Brightspace has an App?<\/p>\n<p>Called \u2018Pulse\u2019 it is available on the\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/gb\/app\/brightspace-pulse\/id1001688546\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App Store<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/search?q=Brightspace&amp;c=apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and allows students to access their Brightspace units when on the move so, for example, students can watch or review content while on the bus or wherever they happen to be.<\/p>\n<p>A fully featured App, it also allows staff to manage their units from their mobile device as required.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/files\/2022\/09\/Pulse.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14224 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/files\/2022\/09\/Pulse.png\" alt=\"Pulse app info\" width=\"1229\" height=\"785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/files\/2022\/09\/Pulse.png 1229w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/files\/2022\/09\/Pulse-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/files\/2022\/09\/Pulse-1024x654.png 1024w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/files\/2022\/09\/Pulse-768x491.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1229px) 100vw, 1229px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you require any further guidance or advice contact your <a href=\"https:\/\/brightspace.bournemouth.ac.uk\/d2l\/le\/content\/18315\/viewContent\/153692\/View\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Faculty Learning Technologist<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that Brightspace has links off to \u2018Help\u2019 resources from any page on Brightspace?
