Here are some top tips\u00a0 to use when creating Modules and topics in Brightspace that could help with improving student engagement.<\/p>\n

Navigation:<\/strong> Brightspace has Modules, Sub-modules and Sub-sub-Modules and so on, think of this as pages folders and folders within folders. Remember the three click rule and keep it simple.<\/p>\n

Naming Conventions:<\/strong> Clear labeling is important to guide students to the correct content or topic. Create a logical, consistent structure to guide students through the content.<\/p>\n

Workflow:<\/strong> Brightspace allows students to work through topics using the Previous\/Next icons, position topics in a progressive structure that builds on the previous topic and guides the student through the information.<\/p>\n

Templates:<\/strong> When using ‘Create a file’, use the available templates. All the elements can be edited so you can change the images and text, this will help make the topic more visually appealing and give a different look and feel.<\/p>\n

Introduce the Teaching Team:<\/strong> There is a template specifically for this and is especially important for new Students.<\/p>\n

Descriptions:<\/strong> These can be used at all level, Modules, Sub-modules or topic to provide an introduction or instructions about what students are expected to do with the content.<\/p>\n

Personalisation and Video Note:<\/strong> In Brightspace the replace string {firstname} will translate the name of the person logged in. If you don’t feel like typing use a Video Note to quickly record a video of you talking (max 5 minutes).<\/p>\n

Quizzes for Self Assessment:<\/strong> Both Brightspace and Panopto have quiz tools and these are a great way for students to quickly check their understanding of a topic, they can review and re-take as often as they like. More Here<\/a><\/p>\n

Student Progress and Agents:<\/strong> Keep track of student performance and engagement with these Brightspace tools. More Here<\/a><\/p>\n
