Brightspace Course Templates

Course Template drafts are now available and will be piloted by Cohort 1. Anyone can download and import into the sandbox to begin to adapt/customize for their campus and use cases. Course Templates REQUIRE campus customization that includes the navbar and campus level links and information like policies, etc., and modifications to the document level html templates for use in templated courses within the tenant. Check with the instructional design team at your institution for a customized version of the template.
The asynchronous (for new online course development and demo), migration (for courses being migrated, that already have associated course content), F2F, synchronous, hyflex, and hybrid templates have been approved by the Templates Creation sub-work group. The completed course templates, including Access Guides & Template Export files, can be accessed here.
A Design Rationale document has been created in response to feedback on the templates. While it was created specifically for the asynchronous template, it provides rationale for all the templates that used the asynchronous template as a foundation.
The Templates Creation sub-work group has developed a mechanism to regularly collect input and feedback from those piloting the templates for continuous review and improvement.
