1
00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:05.400
<v ->Welcome to our first training facilitated</v>

2
00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:09.360
by Desire to Learn, which is Brightspace parent company.

3
00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:12.270
I'll be the host Darrell Abney,

4
00:00:12.270 --> 00:00:16.110
I am a learning management system specialist,

5
00:00:16.110 --> 00:00:18.780
transition specialist with the CTL unit,

6
00:00:18.780 --> 00:00:21.090
and I'll be helping out with the transition here at UVM

7
00:00:21.090 --> 00:00:23.430
with to Brightspace.

8
00:00:23.430 --> 00:00:26.130
And so just a few things to touch

9
00:00:26.130 --> 00:00:28.860
on today's session will be recorded

10
00:00:28.860 --> 00:00:32.190
and published to Brightspace implementation website,

11
00:00:32.190 --> 00:00:36.930
which will be a URL will be posted in the chat,

12
00:00:36.930 --> 00:00:39.300
so you can review at any time.

13
00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:41.420
This session is just an overview

14
00:00:41.420 --> 00:00:43.593
of Brightspace features and tools,

15
00:00:44.760 --> 00:00:47.700
we will have follow up sessions to go deeper

16
00:00:47.700 --> 00:00:50.673
into Brightspace next week and all throughout the year,

17
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:56.220
that URL will be posted in the training page as well.

18
00:00:56.220 --> 00:01:01.220
And then we will use the chat for Q&amp;A,

19
00:01:02.910 --> 00:01:05.430
so please enter your questions in the chat

20
00:01:05.430 --> 00:01:07.470
and then we'll have people monitor the chat

21
00:01:07.470 --> 00:01:10.380
and answer your questions as best as possible.

22
00:01:10.380 --> 00:01:11.940
If we don't have the answers right now,

23
00:01:11.940 --> 00:01:13.690
we will definitely get back to you.

24
00:01:14.850 --> 00:01:18.600
So let me get into introduced in Jackie,

25
00:01:18.600 --> 00:01:21.900
Jackie Neal who will be actually doing the training for us.

26
00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:25.900
So Jackie Neal is a trainer with Brightspace,

27
00:01:25.900 --> 00:01:30.300
she's been working with education for over 15 years,

28
00:01:30.300 --> 00:01:33.270
both in teaching and the corporate training,

29
00:01:33.270 --> 00:01:36.630
and Jackie is certified adult educator

30
00:01:36.630 --> 00:01:39.870
with a degree in Higher Ed Management,

31
00:01:39.870 --> 00:01:44.040
currently studying HR management at McMaster University,

32
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:45.483
so welcome Jackie.

33
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.580
<v ->Thank you so much, it's great to be here,</v>

34
00:01:50.580 --> 00:01:52.470
great to have you all with us,

35
00:01:52.470 --> 00:01:55.680
as mentioned we have a great deal to cover today,

36
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.560
so please feel free as Darrell mentioned,

37
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:00.450
to ask any questions and chat,

38
00:02:00.450 --> 00:02:03.360
we will monitor those and we will get the answer to you,

39
00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:04.890
if we don't today.

40
00:02:04.890 --> 00:02:06.750
But today is just a high level overview

41
00:02:06.750 --> 00:02:09.300
of some of the things that we're going to be covering,

42
00:02:09.300 --> 00:02:12.630
some introduction to the Brightspace environment.

43
00:02:12.630 --> 00:02:16.500
So with that being said, we will be recording,

44
00:02:16.500 --> 00:02:19.350
so we just ask that if you do receive a recording link

45
00:02:19.350 --> 00:02:21.270
that you do not share it out to the world,

46
00:02:21.270 --> 00:02:22.830
not to YouTube or TikTok,

47
00:02:22.830 --> 00:02:25.980
because we will be working within UVMs environment.

48
00:02:25.980 --> 00:02:28.950
And what that entails is of course proprietary

49
00:02:28.950 --> 00:02:30.750
and confidential information,

50
00:02:30.750 --> 00:02:32.370
so we just wanna ensure we're not sharing

51
00:02:32.370 --> 00:02:33.870
that out to the world.

52
00:02:33.870 --> 00:02:35.400
As mentioned my name is Jackie,

53
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.700
so please feel free to ask questions in the chat of myself

54
00:02:38.700 --> 00:02:40.260
and of the UVM team,

55
00:02:40.260 --> 00:02:43.860
and we will be happy to share some

56
00:02:43.860 --> 00:02:45.780
of those answers with you.

57
00:02:45.780 --> 00:02:49.140
Also to let you know, D2L is Desire to Learn,

58
00:02:49.140 --> 00:02:52.410
it's the company, Brightspace is the product.

59
00:02:52.410 --> 00:02:55.260
The goal of D2L and of yourselves

60
00:02:55.260 --> 00:02:57.210
is to ensure that all of our learners

61
00:02:57.210 --> 00:03:00.423
can learn within the D2L and Brightspace environment.

62
00:03:01.260 --> 00:03:04.020
We do invite you to jump into the environment

63
00:03:04.020 --> 00:03:06.510
and work alongside of us during these webinars

64
00:03:06.510 --> 00:03:08.520
and during training sessions.

65
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:10.200
It is a webinar however,

66
00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:13.050
we do want you to click in, test some things out,

67
00:03:13.050 --> 00:03:14.220
as we talk about them

68
00:03:14.220 --> 00:03:17.007
and share some of the details of how Brightspace works

69
00:03:17.007 --> 00:03:19.260
and the inner workings of the system.

70
00:03:19.260 --> 00:03:23.700
So again, please feel free to jump into your environment,

71
00:03:23.700 --> 00:03:27.390
log in and poke around as we talk.

72
00:03:27.390 --> 00:03:28.860
What we wanna share with you today

73
00:03:28.860 --> 00:03:32.250
is the basic navigation of Brightspace,

74
00:03:32.250 --> 00:03:34.440
we're gonna focus on the elements,

75
00:03:34.440 --> 00:03:36.150
the institutional landing page,

76
00:03:36.150 --> 00:03:37.830
what that means to you,

77
00:03:37.830 --> 00:03:39.420
looking in some of the settings

78
00:03:39.420 --> 00:03:42.000
and profile components of Brightspace.

79
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:46.350
We're also gonna look at navigation bars inside of a course,

80
00:03:46.350 --> 00:03:50.220
as well as a homepage for the course, the table of contents,

81
00:03:50.220 --> 00:03:52.530
and just share a little bit of an overview

82
00:03:52.530 --> 00:03:56.520
of how you can work with content inside of your course.

83
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.380
So that's a high level overview,

84
00:03:58.380 --> 00:04:00.690
we are together for about an hour today,

85
00:04:00.690 --> 00:04:02.250
and again as Darrell mentioned,

86
00:04:02.250 --> 00:04:05.733
there are several more trainings coming your way very soon.

87
00:04:07.050 --> 00:04:10.110
I will be sharing a short PowerPoint presentation with you

88
00:04:10.110 --> 00:04:12.690
and then we're going to go into the live environment

89
00:04:12.690 --> 00:04:15.330
where we're gonna start to click about.

90
00:04:15.330 --> 00:04:16.260
To let you know,

91
00:04:16.260 --> 00:04:18.660
when we first come into the main landing page,

92
00:04:18.660 --> 00:04:22.620
we call this the institutional homepage for UVM.

93
00:04:22.620 --> 00:04:24.960
This is a common space where all users

94
00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:26.640
will come in for the first time

95
00:04:26.640 --> 00:04:29.880
and see this main institutional homepage.

96
00:04:29.880 --> 00:04:33.240
This is a way for us to share information on a global scale

97
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.540
to all of our UVM users, including admins,

98
00:04:36.540 --> 00:04:38.610
instructors, and students.

99
00:04:38.610 --> 00:04:41.280
It is a welcome page to share that information

100
00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:43.260
and we will talk about the different components

101
00:04:43.260 --> 00:04:45.720
once we're inside of the environment.

102
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:47.790
There are many profile components

103
00:04:47.790 --> 00:04:49.860
and notifications and setting components

104
00:04:49.860 --> 00:04:51.510
that we'll share with you today,

105
00:04:51.510 --> 00:04:54.420
again as a high level overview on how to personalize

106
00:04:54.420 --> 00:04:56.400
your own institutional areas

107
00:04:56.400 --> 00:04:59.583
and your custom course homepages as well.

108
00:05:00.780 --> 00:05:02.550
Now once we jump into a course,

109
00:05:02.550 --> 00:05:04.650
the homepage looks slightly different,

110
00:05:04.650 --> 00:05:06.210
and that is on purpose,

111
00:05:06.210 --> 00:05:08.010
that is because the course homepage

112
00:05:08.010 --> 00:05:10.890
is more of a functional homepage for our users,

113
00:05:10.890 --> 00:05:14.070
so we wanna ensure that they can easily click into a button

114
00:05:14.070 --> 00:05:16.650
to get to the resources that they need to,

115
00:05:16.650 --> 00:05:21.030
to work within their education and their course materials.

116
00:05:21.030 --> 00:05:23.040
Once we're inside of a course homepage,

117
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.860
I will describe and express how the different components

118
00:05:25.860 --> 00:05:28.560
and buttons work inside of the content,

119
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:32.010
the content is the basic building block of the course.

120
00:05:32.010 --> 00:05:34.860
So I'll talk about how each of the components work,

121
00:05:34.860 --> 00:05:38.850
and how you can either build from scratch content components

122
00:05:38.850 --> 00:05:41.760
or add stuff that you already have.

123
00:05:41.760 --> 00:05:45.000
Now, today is just a high level overview of the content,

124
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.510
we will dive into this deeper into a later session,

125
00:05:48.510 --> 00:05:51.663
but we just wanted to get you acclimated and start to build.

126
00:05:52.770 --> 00:05:54.450
Now with the content itself,

127
00:05:54.450 --> 00:05:56.310
we have a variety of different tools

128
00:05:56.310 --> 00:05:58.620
that you can build content in.

129
00:05:58.620 --> 00:06:01.140
As I mentioned, we can add things from scratch

130
00:06:01.140 --> 00:06:03.480
and build directly into your course,

131
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.360
or you can add things from outside of Brightspace,

132
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:08.500
something you've already previously built

133
00:06:09.510 --> 00:06:11.220
and a combination of both.

134
00:06:11.220 --> 00:06:14.010
So on my screen, it's just sort of a demonstration

135
00:06:14.010 --> 00:06:16.140
or a look and see about what we can,

136
00:06:16.140 --> 00:06:18.480
what are the possibilities of building inside

137
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:19.803
of Brightspace itself.

138
00:06:20.700 --> 00:06:22.170
Now with that being said,

139
00:06:22.170 --> 00:06:24.420
that is the end of our PowerPoint presentation,

140
00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:27.483
so I'm just gonna pop into your environment.

141
00:06:28.890 --> 00:06:30.360
Now as I mentioned,

142
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.510
once we come into the environment, once we first log in,

143
00:06:33.510 --> 00:06:36.900
we land on what we call the institutional homepage.

144
00:06:36.900 --> 00:06:40.980
And from my screen, you can see that at the very top right,

145
00:06:40.980 --> 00:06:43.860
or sorry, the very top left of your screen,

146
00:06:43.860 --> 00:06:46.320
there is an image or logo.

147
00:06:46.320 --> 00:06:48.720
This also serves as a link,

148
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:50.550
and whenever we click on this link,

149
00:06:50.550 --> 00:06:53.793
it will return us back to this institutional homepage.

150
00:06:54.630 --> 00:06:58.860
Now at the very top, we call this the mini navigation bar,

151
00:06:58.860 --> 00:07:01.680
and this will stay fairly similar

152
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.080
throughout the experience inside of Brightspace.

153
00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:05.850
And again that is on purpose,

154
00:07:05.850 --> 00:07:09.000
that is so our users can navigate to different components

155
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:13.293
and find notifications and information all the time.

156
00:07:14.490 --> 00:07:16.410
Now we will express the different components

157
00:07:16.410 --> 00:07:18.780
of the mini nav bar in just a moment,

158
00:07:18.780 --> 00:07:19.770
but before we do,

159
00:07:19.770 --> 00:07:22.110
I wanna express some of the different components

160
00:07:22.110 --> 00:07:24.063
on this institutional homepage.

161
00:07:24.960 --> 00:07:28.020
The second area we see in this beautiful green color

162
00:07:28.020 --> 00:07:31.530
is what we call the secondary navigation bar.

163
00:07:31.530 --> 00:07:33.630
Now in this secondary navigation bar,

164
00:07:33.630 --> 00:07:36.000
if you hover over the different words,

165
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:38.580
these all service links as well,

166
00:07:38.580 --> 00:07:41.040
now because we're on the institutional homepage,

167
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:43.860
these links are specific to different components

168
00:07:43.860 --> 00:07:45.153
for all to see.

169
00:07:46.350 --> 00:07:47.640
Now also to note,

170
00:07:47.640 --> 00:07:49.890
based on the role that we have in the system,

171
00:07:49.890 --> 00:07:52.500
we may see different links than our learners,

172
00:07:52.500 --> 00:07:55.020
and that is because learners may not have

173
00:07:55.020 --> 00:07:57.543
the same permissions as an instructor.

174
00:07:58.740 --> 00:08:01.860
Now the next area we see is what we call the banner,

175
00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:04.650
now on our homepage, we see this beautiful image,

176
00:08:04.650 --> 00:08:06.990
but once we get into a course homepage,

177
00:08:06.990 --> 00:08:09.810
you may see a different banner for your course homepage,

178
00:08:09.810 --> 00:08:12.303
and that's just personalizing the space.

179
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:15.510
The next level down that we see

180
00:08:15.510 --> 00:08:18.930
is these areas called my courses and announcements,

181
00:08:18.930 --> 00:08:21.720
and if I scroll down on the institutional homepage,

182
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.420
I may see some other areas such as the calendar

183
00:08:24.420 --> 00:08:26.370
and the Quick Eval.

184
00:08:26.370 --> 00:08:28.170
These are what we call widgets,

185
00:08:28.170 --> 00:08:31.860
and each widget has different purposes.

186
00:08:31.860 --> 00:08:34.740
Now again because we're on the institutional homepage,

187
00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:37.077
we have very specific widgets for our students

188
00:08:37.077 --> 00:08:39.720
and our users to be able to navigate inside

189
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:42.030
of the Brightspace environment.

190
00:08:42.030 --> 00:08:46.470
Now also to note, as you grow, as you build with UVM,

191
00:08:46.470 --> 00:08:48.900
you will know that some of these widgets may change

192
00:08:48.900 --> 00:08:50.760
on the institution homepage,

193
00:08:50.760 --> 00:08:53.280
as we start to explore different functionalities

194
00:08:53.280 --> 00:08:55.323
and widgets throughout the organization.

195
00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:58.980
Now again, this is the main space

196
00:08:58.980 --> 00:09:01.020
or the institutional homepage,

197
00:09:01.020 --> 00:09:03.810
so when we see announcements here on this page,

198
00:09:03.810 --> 00:09:06.360
it is a global announcement space,

199
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:08.670
we would typically use this to let the students know

200
00:09:08.670 --> 00:09:10.590
of upcoming events or cancellations

201
00:09:10.590 --> 00:09:13.500
without the entire organization.

202
00:09:13.500 --> 00:09:15.660
You will also find that in a course,

203
00:09:15.660 --> 00:09:17.340
you have an announcement widget,

204
00:09:17.340 --> 00:09:20.910
and that announcement widget is course specific.

205
00:09:20.910 --> 00:09:23.010
Again as we go through some more training sessions,

206
00:09:23.010 --> 00:09:25.560
we'll tell you and show you how to build announcements

207
00:09:25.560 --> 00:09:27.633
for your course specific material.

208
00:09:29.100 --> 00:09:32.970
Now returning back to this navigation situation here,

209
00:09:32.970 --> 00:09:37.970
at the top mini nav bar, we see a box or a grid if you will,

210
00:09:38.850 --> 00:09:43.350
a three by three grid, we call this the course selector.

211
00:09:43.350 --> 00:09:45.060
When we click on the course selector,

212
00:09:45.060 --> 00:09:47.220
a dropdown should appear,

213
00:09:47.220 --> 00:09:50.610
now I'm in currently the system as an administrator,

214
00:09:50.610 --> 00:09:54.300
so I have a very lengthy dropdown, and that's okay.

215
00:09:54.300 --> 00:09:56.610
When you click on the three by three grid

216
00:09:56.610 --> 00:09:57.810
or course selector,

217
00:09:57.810 --> 00:10:00.360
you will see the courses that you are the instructor

218
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.000
or administrator of record for.

219
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:06.000
This grid is unique to the user's account,

220
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:07.140
so for a student,

221
00:10:07.140 --> 00:10:10.140
they will only see the courses that they are enrolled in,

222
00:10:10.140 --> 00:10:12.390
they will not have access to anything else

223
00:10:12.390 --> 00:10:14.840
other than where we've placed them in the system.

224
00:10:15.990 --> 00:10:20.640
Also to note, you can click into any one of those courses

225
00:10:20.640 --> 00:10:23.700
and it directly takes you to that course.

226
00:10:23.700 --> 00:10:26.670
To mimic that, we have this my courses widget,

227
00:10:26.670 --> 00:10:29.880
so you may notice this my courses widget

228
00:10:29.880 --> 00:10:32.310
is the exact same as the dropdown that you see

229
00:10:32.310 --> 00:10:36.360
when you click on the my courses three by three grid.

230
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:39.570
Again, this my courses widget may change in position

231
00:10:39.570 --> 00:10:43.053
as you move and grow on the institutional landing page.

232
00:10:44.550 --> 00:10:46.740
Before we actually jump into a course,

233
00:10:46.740 --> 00:10:49.950
there are some other icons we wanna point out,

234
00:10:49.950 --> 00:10:52.710
this first icon directly links the user

235
00:10:52.710 --> 00:10:57.710
and again it is user specific to the internal email system.

236
00:10:58.050 --> 00:11:00.690
Now the internal email and instant messaging system

237
00:11:00.690 --> 00:11:02.640
is unique to Brightspace,

238
00:11:02.640 --> 00:11:05.760
if we send an email to a student within Brightspace,

239
00:11:05.760 --> 00:11:09.600
they will receive an orange dot just above this envelope.

240
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:11.400
And that will indicate to the student

241
00:11:11.400 --> 00:11:14.400
that they have a new instant message or email,

242
00:11:14.400 --> 00:11:17.490
now this is limited to internal messaging.

243
00:11:17.490 --> 00:11:20.220
We have the availability to send notifications

244
00:11:20.220 --> 00:11:21.810
outside of Brightspace,

245
00:11:21.810 --> 00:11:23.520
and we'll talk about that as we move through

246
00:11:23.520 --> 00:11:25.293
some of these other components.

247
00:11:26.670 --> 00:11:28.890
Now, when a student clicks on this email

248
00:11:28.890 --> 00:11:30.270
or instant message tab,

249
00:11:30.270 --> 00:11:33.060
if there are messages for the student to see,

250
00:11:33.060 --> 00:11:35.310
they will be listed in a dropdown,

251
00:11:35.310 --> 00:11:38.040
just like we can see in our course selector.

252
00:11:38.040 --> 00:11:40.170
Students will be able to click

253
00:11:40.170 --> 00:11:43.290
into an individual instant messenger email,

254
00:11:43.290 --> 00:11:45.393
and quickly navigate to that space.

255
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:48.600
Inside of the email for Brightspace,

256
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:50.400
it looks very similar to Microsoft

257
00:11:50.400 --> 00:11:52.170
and it functions the same,

258
00:11:52.170 --> 00:11:54.783
but again, just to remind you, it is internal.

259
00:11:55.770 --> 00:11:58.530
We do that on purpose for security features of course,

260
00:11:58.530 --> 00:12:00.720
so students cannot forward out

261
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:04.743
any secure or detailed information outside of Brightspace.

262
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.520
The next icon we see here is what we call

263
00:12:08.520 --> 00:12:10.710
the subscription alert.

264
00:12:10.710 --> 00:12:12.360
Now again, as we move through

265
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:14.670
and as you learn about Brightspace,

266
00:12:14.670 --> 00:12:18.540
this particular alert is tied to two specific tools

267
00:12:18.540 --> 00:12:20.610
inside of a course.

268
00:12:20.610 --> 00:12:23.790
The first tool is what we call activity feed

269
00:12:23.790 --> 00:12:27.090
and the second tool is called a discussion.

270
00:12:27.090 --> 00:12:29.910
Now if we're utilizing either or both of those tools

271
00:12:29.910 --> 00:12:33.750
in a course, a student will receive an orange dot above here

272
00:12:33.750 --> 00:12:36.060
to let them know that either of those activities

273
00:12:36.060 --> 00:12:37.533
has some things happening.

274
00:12:38.370 --> 00:12:41.340
Now again just like the male icon here,

275
00:12:41.340 --> 00:12:44.820
when we select onto this, a dropdown will appear.

276
00:12:44.820 --> 00:12:47.130
So if we did have any active activity feed

277
00:12:47.130 --> 00:12:48.390
or discussion feeds,

278
00:12:48.390 --> 00:12:50.940
students would be able to click directly into them.

279
00:12:52.530 --> 00:12:55.350
The final alert or icon here is what we call

280
00:12:55.350 --> 00:12:56.850
the updates alert.

281
00:12:56.850 --> 00:12:58.950
Now you'll notice I have an orange dot here

282
00:12:58.950 --> 00:13:00.960
which indicates to me, Jackie,

283
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:04.290
that I have something happening within my environment.

284
00:13:04.290 --> 00:13:08.430
Now this update alert or icon will let the students know

285
00:13:08.430 --> 00:13:10.620
of any new things that have been graded,

286
00:13:10.620 --> 00:13:14.850
any new activities that they need to pay attention to,

287
00:13:14.850 --> 00:13:17.070
such as new content, or a new announcement

288
00:13:17.070 --> 00:13:20.250
within one of the courses that they're enrolled in.

289
00:13:20.250 --> 00:13:22.560
As you can see, when I click on the bell icon,

290
00:13:22.560 --> 00:13:25.710
it is linked to my account and I can click directly

291
00:13:25.710 --> 00:13:28.020
into either one of these two alerts,

292
00:13:28.020 --> 00:13:30.273
which will take me to that alert directly.

293
00:13:31.140 --> 00:13:34.680
Now this will load with the top five messages or alerts

294
00:13:34.680 --> 00:13:36.450
that are for my account,

295
00:13:36.450 --> 00:13:38.463
and I can load more as I go through,

296
00:13:39.390 --> 00:13:42.630
as students check in to either one of these,

297
00:13:42.630 --> 00:13:44.880
it will come or fall off the list,

298
00:13:44.880 --> 00:13:47.733
so this is kind of like a checklist of sorts.

299
00:13:49.140 --> 00:13:53.190
Now the next area we see is what we call our profile card.

300
00:13:53.190 --> 00:13:55.110
If you're in your account you may notice

301
00:13:55.110 --> 00:13:57.990
that you have your initials beside your name,

302
00:13:57.990 --> 00:14:00.060
when we select onto our name,

303
00:14:00.060 --> 00:14:04.230
we see another dropdown that appears, lots of drop downs.

304
00:14:04.230 --> 00:14:07.830
In this dropdown, we have a lot of functionalities,

305
00:14:07.830 --> 00:14:11.580
the first one is that we can do what we call a role switch.

306
00:14:11.580 --> 00:14:13.560
And what that allows you to do

307
00:14:13.560 --> 00:14:17.040
is switch into the role of a learner,

308
00:14:17.040 --> 00:14:19.950
now this is a role switch that allows you to see

309
00:14:19.950 --> 00:14:21.540
what a learner sees,

310
00:14:21.540 --> 00:14:23.910
it does not allow you to take over their account,

311
00:14:23.910 --> 00:14:26.670
and again, that's for security purposes.

312
00:14:26.670 --> 00:14:29.730
But the benefit of the role switch is so that you can see

313
00:14:29.730 --> 00:14:31.200
and help a learner navigate

314
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:33.330
if they're missing a tab or a button,

315
00:14:33.330 --> 00:14:36.810
or if they're just having difficulty finding something.

316
00:14:36.810 --> 00:14:39.120
Another great use case for the role switch

317
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.380
is so that they can actually see as you're building material

318
00:14:43.380 --> 00:14:44.823
what the learner might see.

319
00:14:46.410 --> 00:14:47.700
Again just to remind you,

320
00:14:47.700 --> 00:14:49.800
it's not taking over their account,

321
00:14:49.800 --> 00:14:52.800
it's literally just giving you a role switch

322
00:14:52.800 --> 00:14:54.873
to see what that other role can see.

323
00:14:55.950 --> 00:14:58.710
We always note of caution to exit out of that

324
00:14:58.710 --> 00:15:01.230
so that you're not stuck in that role switch,

325
00:15:01.230 --> 00:15:03.530
because you're literally taking over the role.

326
00:15:04.620 --> 00:15:06.060
You would simply click the X

327
00:15:06.060 --> 00:15:08.210
and it brings you back to your own account.

328
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:11.100
Now again, clicking on your name,

329
00:15:11.100 --> 00:15:12.540
we do have a dropdown,

330
00:15:12.540 --> 00:15:15.150
and from here, you can click on your name

331
00:15:15.150 --> 00:15:17.220
and click on profile,

332
00:15:17.220 --> 00:15:19.500
now this is your profile card,

333
00:15:19.500 --> 00:15:22.290
you do not have capabilities to change profiles

334
00:15:22.290 --> 00:15:25.170
with any other user, just your own.

335
00:15:25.170 --> 00:15:26.850
But again, once you click on your name

336
00:15:26.850 --> 00:15:29.910
and jump into the profile, you can add your own picture,

337
00:15:29.910 --> 00:15:32.673
add a few details for your personal information.

338
00:15:33.630 --> 00:15:36.720
To add a picture, you would simply click on change picture,

339
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:39.450
and the system will allow you to upload a picture

340
00:15:39.450 --> 00:15:41.043
from your computer screen.

341
00:15:43.410 --> 00:15:46.860
Now it's a drag and drop, so it's not very difficult

342
00:15:46.860 --> 00:15:49.800
as long as you have an image ready to go,

343
00:15:49.800 --> 00:15:52.320
you would simply click the word, my computer,

344
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:55.740
and again, as I just demonstrated you can drag and drop

345
00:15:55.740 --> 00:16:00.453
your image directly in that box area and click add.

346
00:16:02.130 --> 00:16:04.020
At any time you can change your picture

347
00:16:04.020 --> 00:16:07.200
by clicking change picture or delete the current picture,

348
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:09.930
but it will not activate until you click save

349
00:16:09.930 --> 00:16:12.243
and close here at the bottom of your screen.

350
00:16:14.580 --> 00:16:16.560
Now you will note once you add your picture,

351
00:16:16.560 --> 00:16:18.303
it should appear beside your name.

352
00:16:20.280 --> 00:16:21.690
When you click on your name again,

353
00:16:21.690 --> 00:16:24.750
the next area of note is notifications.

354
00:16:24.750 --> 00:16:28.140
Now notifications again is specific to your account,

355
00:16:28.140 --> 00:16:30.510
you will not be able to set notifications here

356
00:16:30.510 --> 00:16:32.130
for any of your students.

357
00:16:32.130 --> 00:16:34.350
There are other places where you can

358
00:16:34.350 --> 00:16:36.150
push a notification out,

359
00:16:36.150 --> 00:16:38.070
but again, this notifications tab

360
00:16:38.070 --> 00:16:40.653
is directly linked to your personal account.

361
00:16:41.580 --> 00:16:43.650
When you select on the word notifications,

362
00:16:43.650 --> 00:16:45.930
it brings you to this screen,

363
00:16:45.930 --> 00:16:49.140
the first thing you're going to see is a mini advertisement

364
00:16:49.140 --> 00:16:51.570
for what we call the Pulse App.

365
00:16:51.570 --> 00:16:53.670
Now the Pulse App is a way in which you

366
00:16:53.670 --> 00:16:56.100
and your students could receive information

367
00:16:56.100 --> 00:16:59.610
and actually go and partake in their Brightspace courses,

368
00:16:59.610 --> 00:17:03.150
using an app on their phone or their tablet.

369
00:17:03.150 --> 00:17:04.860
The instructions are here,

370
00:17:04.860 --> 00:17:07.080
but again, students would have to log in

371
00:17:07.080 --> 00:17:10.200
with their credentials to get to the app

372
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:13.533
and they can take Brightspace on the go if they so choose.

373
00:17:14.850 --> 00:17:17.310
Now back to the notifications area,

374
00:17:17.310 --> 00:17:20.700
when you're here, you could set specific notifications

375
00:17:20.700 --> 00:17:23.130
to be received outside of Brightspace

376
00:17:23.130 --> 00:17:25.530
from this notifications tab.

377
00:17:25.530 --> 00:17:29.340
And what that means is, if you scroll down on this screen,

378
00:17:29.340 --> 00:17:33.540
you can send a summary of activity to an external email,

379
00:17:33.540 --> 00:17:36.690
or instant notifications about different functions

380
00:17:36.690 --> 00:17:38.880
and features inside of Brightspace

381
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:40.893
to an external email address.

382
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:43.290
Now you do have the availability

383
00:17:43.290 --> 00:17:45.030
to register your mobile phone,

384
00:17:45.030 --> 00:17:47.610
and you could come to your instant notifications

385
00:17:47.610 --> 00:17:52.380
and just simply select SMS for some of the notifications.

386
00:17:52.380 --> 00:17:55.950
Just to note, even though you're sending out notifications

387
00:17:55.950 --> 00:17:59.430
externally outside of Brightspace,

388
00:17:59.430 --> 00:18:01.530
you will not be able to open and function

389
00:18:01.530 --> 00:18:03.600
in that external address,

390
00:18:03.600 --> 00:18:05.160
you will still have to come in

391
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:08.580
and log into Brightspace to take any actionable steps.

392
00:18:08.580 --> 00:18:11.010
And again that is a security feature,

393
00:18:11.010 --> 00:18:13.650
but this does allow you to send notifications about

394
00:18:13.650 --> 00:18:16.593
what's happening in Brightspace, outside of Brightspace.

395
00:18:17.790 --> 00:18:20.070
When you're ready to select all of the different things

396
00:18:20.070 --> 00:18:22.020
you wanna receive, you would click save

397
00:18:23.760 --> 00:18:26.583
and the notifications should start coming through.

398
00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:30.453
Now it's not necessary, it is available to you.

399
00:18:31.410 --> 00:18:33.900
The next area we see is account settings.

400
00:18:33.900 --> 00:18:35.190
Now in account settings,

401
00:18:35.190 --> 00:18:38.430
this allows you to set account settings for your account,

402
00:18:38.430 --> 00:18:40.980
again you will not be able to set any account settings

403
00:18:40.980 --> 00:18:43.023
for anyone else other than yourself.

404
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:45.450
In the account settings,

405
00:18:45.450 --> 00:18:49.530
this is for you to set certain things such as pronouns,

406
00:18:49.530 --> 00:18:53.280
it may allow you to set different font sizes.

407
00:18:53.280 --> 00:18:56.280
For example, if I wanted to change this to huge,

408
00:18:56.280 --> 00:19:00.090
it would only change the font size to huge on my screen,

409
00:19:00.090 --> 00:19:02.283
it will not affect my students screen.

410
00:19:04.230 --> 00:19:05.430
The next thing we can do

411
00:19:05.430 --> 00:19:09.720
is set specific assistive technology features.

412
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:12.870
Assistive technology is built inside of the tools

413
00:19:12.870 --> 00:19:14.010
in Brightspace,

414
00:19:14.010 --> 00:19:16.980
and what it does is it helps all of our learners

415
00:19:16.980 --> 00:19:20.310
read the screens, see the screens, use close captioning,

416
00:19:20.310 --> 00:19:22.323
see videos, and the like.

417
00:19:23.370 --> 00:19:25.950
Now in the settings, you can set optimal settings,

418
00:19:25.950 --> 00:19:27.870
but most of the assistive technology

419
00:19:27.870 --> 00:19:29.670
is already pre-built in Brightspace.

420
00:19:31.751 --> 00:19:33.000
In our account settings,

421
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:36.870
you can also set your locale and language and time zone,

422
00:19:36.870 --> 00:19:38.733
and save and close when you're ready.

423
00:19:40.230 --> 00:19:41.520
But again, just to remind you,

424
00:19:41.520 --> 00:19:43.290
it is setting your own account settings,

425
00:19:43.290 --> 00:19:45.543
you cannot set account settings for others.

426
00:19:47.610 --> 00:19:50.190
Now that's the basics of the mini nav bar,

427
00:19:50.190 --> 00:19:52.350
the next navigation bar as mentioned

428
00:19:52.350 --> 00:19:56.700
on the institutional landing page has specific links

429
00:19:56.700 --> 00:19:59.553
that are global to all of the institution.

430
00:20:00.570 --> 00:20:03.270
Once we jump into a course, you will note

431
00:20:03.270 --> 00:20:06.330
that the navigation bar is a bit different,

432
00:20:06.330 --> 00:20:09.153
and that is because it's now course specific.

433
00:20:12.090 --> 00:20:13.620
Again, we do see the widgets

434
00:20:13.620 --> 00:20:15.210
on the institutional landing page,

435
00:20:15.210 --> 00:20:16.950
and these will be different once we jump

436
00:20:16.950 --> 00:20:18.330
into a course as well,

437
00:20:18.330 --> 00:20:21.723
and they will be course specific to the course material.

438
00:20:22.800 --> 00:20:24.000
So with that being said,

439
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:27.240
I do invite you if you are in your own environment

440
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:28.680
to come to the course selector

441
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:30.600
or jump into the my courses widget,

442
00:20:30.600 --> 00:20:33.993
and you may find a course called sandbox course.

443
00:20:37.230 --> 00:20:39.330
Once you click into the course itself,

444
00:20:39.330 --> 00:20:42.120
you may see a few differences.

445
00:20:42.120 --> 00:20:44.700
The first one of note is that the title of the course

446
00:20:44.700 --> 00:20:46.890
will be now in the mini nav bar,

447
00:20:46.890 --> 00:20:49.620
and will also serve as a link,

448
00:20:49.620 --> 00:20:53.160
so you can return to the main homepage of your course

449
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:56.793
versus the main institutional homepage of UVM.

450
00:20:59.580 --> 00:21:02.250
Now again, you'll notice in this mini nav bar

451
00:21:02.250 --> 00:21:04.230
that the icons will remain the same,

452
00:21:04.230 --> 00:21:07.770
however, the second nav bar has different links to it,

453
00:21:07.770 --> 00:21:09.993
and again these links are core specific.

454
00:21:12.570 --> 00:21:14.100
Now we see different widgets,

455
00:21:14.100 --> 00:21:16.860
so for example, we see the content browser widget,

456
00:21:16.860 --> 00:21:18.870
we see the announcements widget,

457
00:21:18.870 --> 00:21:20.490
and we see a calendar widget,

458
00:21:20.490 --> 00:21:22.800
and again, these are course specific.

459
00:21:22.800 --> 00:21:24.420
So as we move through training,

460
00:21:24.420 --> 00:21:26.520
as you navigate through your courses,

461
00:21:26.520 --> 00:21:30.150
you will find that these are specific to your course,

462
00:21:30.150 --> 00:21:32.400
and we will share with you how to update these

463
00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:34.353
for your students within your course.

464
00:21:37.471 --> 00:21:40.110
Now, the next story we wanna just take you to,

465
00:21:40.110 --> 00:21:43.200
bear with me I'm just gonna check the chat for a moment,

466
00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:44.703
is the content area.

467
00:21:45.630 --> 00:21:48.630
Now again, we will be going over a high level overview

468
00:21:48.630 --> 00:21:50.760
of content within your course,

469
00:21:50.760 --> 00:21:53.640
we will dive a little bit deeper in a later session

470
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:55.680
where we'll take you through all of the bells

471
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:57.033
and whistles of content.

472
00:22:02.070 --> 00:22:05.460
Now, to get to many different components within your course,

473
00:22:05.460 --> 00:22:08.940
you can click here in the navigation bar.

474
00:22:08.940 --> 00:22:10.710
I just simply clicked on content,

475
00:22:10.710 --> 00:22:12.960
which takes me again to the building block

476
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:15.240
of content itself.

477
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:18.240
But just to note, a few other tabs within this nav bar

478
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:22.680
in your course homepage is this dropdown course tools,

479
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:26.580
now I'm just using a practice course for our example today

480
00:22:26.580 --> 00:22:28.350
in your sandbox, you may note,

481
00:22:28.350 --> 00:22:30.900
there are a couple of differences in your nav bar,

482
00:22:30.900 --> 00:22:32.133
and again that's okay.

483
00:22:33.090 --> 00:22:36.750
One of the tools you might come to click on a lot

484
00:22:36.750 --> 00:22:39.510
is this course tools dropdown.

485
00:22:39.510 --> 00:22:42.330
Once we click on that, another dropdown will appear,

486
00:22:42.330 --> 00:22:45.420
and from here, you may find some of the links

487
00:22:45.420 --> 00:22:48.450
to different components within your course.

488
00:22:48.450 --> 00:22:51.660
One of the main ones that we wanna introduce you today

489
00:22:51.660 --> 00:22:53.520
is called course admin,

490
00:22:53.520 --> 00:22:54.990
so you may see on my screen,

491
00:22:54.990 --> 00:22:58.563
I'm just hovering over with my mouse, this course admin tab.

492
00:22:59.580 --> 00:23:01.560
When you click on course admin,

493
00:23:01.560 --> 00:23:05.130
it does bring you to the behind the scenes of your course,

494
00:23:05.130 --> 00:23:07.560
and this is your course material,

495
00:23:07.560 --> 00:23:09.750
so once you click into course admin,

496
00:23:09.750 --> 00:23:12.960
if you do not see a link in your navigation bar,

497
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:16.440
you may find a link here under course admin.

498
00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:19.440
And again, as UVM builds and grows,

499
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:21.900
you may find some changes here and there,

500
00:23:21.900 --> 00:23:24.990
but please note that you can always come to the course admin

501
00:23:24.990 --> 00:23:28.023
to jump into any one of the components within your course.

502
00:23:29.730 --> 00:23:33.150
And as always, you can click on the main link,

503
00:23:33.150 --> 00:23:36.210
either the title of the course or the course home link

504
00:23:36.210 --> 00:23:38.260
to bring you back to the course homepage.

505
00:23:41.520 --> 00:23:44.190
Now class list is here, grades are here,

506
00:23:44.190 --> 00:23:47.100
we can always click into any one of these useful links,

507
00:23:47.100 --> 00:23:49.320
and again, as we go through more sessions,

508
00:23:49.320 --> 00:23:50.640
as you start to click around,

509
00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:53.590
you'll learn a little bit more about these functionalities.

510
00:23:55.380 --> 00:23:57.207
We're gonna go back to the content area

511
00:23:57.207 --> 00:23:58.890
and just click on content,

512
00:23:58.890 --> 00:24:00.600
if you're following along in your sandbox,

513
00:24:00.600 --> 00:24:03.180
but you're welcome to just follow along my screen.

514
00:24:03.180 --> 00:24:05.940
And I'm just here to give you a little bit of insight

515
00:24:05.940 --> 00:24:07.833
into the content of your course.

516
00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:12.690
When you first land into content, you may see blank space,

517
00:24:12.690 --> 00:24:14.730
and that is okay because you're just starting out

518
00:24:14.730 --> 00:24:16.050
in your sandbox.

519
00:24:16.050 --> 00:24:18.840
Again, I'm just using a practice course to show you

520
00:24:18.840 --> 00:24:20.130
the end in mind,

521
00:24:20.130 --> 00:24:23.130
what a course will look like with full content inside of it.

522
00:24:24.360 --> 00:24:27.450
Now with content itself, when we first come in,

523
00:24:27.450 --> 00:24:30.000
if you have a big course with lots of topics,

524
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:32.250
you can always search for the main topic here

525
00:24:32.250 --> 00:24:34.650
in this search area,

526
00:24:34.650 --> 00:24:37.890
the next area we see is called overview.

527
00:24:37.890 --> 00:24:41.130
Now, overview is a space for you to add an overview

528
00:24:41.130 --> 00:24:44.340
or just basic information about what students will see

529
00:24:44.340 --> 00:24:46.380
within this course.

530
00:24:46.380 --> 00:24:49.470
This is one of the spaces that you could add information

531
00:24:49.470 --> 00:24:52.320
to the students about the course itself,

532
00:24:52.320 --> 00:24:53.673
but there are others.

533
00:24:54.540 --> 00:24:57.090
Now, if you did want to add an overview here,

534
00:24:57.090 --> 00:24:59.640
you could simply click on the word overview

535
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:02.820
and add a welcome message or overview, or description here

536
00:25:02.820 --> 00:25:03.900
of your course,

537
00:25:03.900 --> 00:25:06.300
by clicking into add a welcome message,

538
00:25:06.300 --> 00:25:07.740
overview, or description,

539
00:25:07.740 --> 00:25:11.190
and what happens is it opens up into what we call

540
00:25:11.190 --> 00:25:12.723
the HTML editor.

541
00:25:14.220 --> 00:25:16.380
We will give you a brief description of this

542
00:25:16.380 --> 00:25:18.900
in a few moments when we build some content,

543
00:25:18.900 --> 00:25:21.540
but you could very simply and easily type in

544
00:25:21.540 --> 00:25:25.650
a basic overview by just clicking into this HTML editor

545
00:25:25.650 --> 00:25:26.913
and typing away.

546
00:25:32.550 --> 00:25:36.903
Just as I am typing in a description,

547
00:25:37.800 --> 00:25:40.260
adding an overview is not necessary,

548
00:25:40.260 --> 00:25:42.360
but it is available to you.

549
00:25:42.360 --> 00:25:45.030
And again, there are other places to inform

550
00:25:45.030 --> 00:25:47.013
the students about course information.

551
00:25:47.910 --> 00:25:50.820
If you are satisfied with your basic overview,

552
00:25:50.820 --> 00:25:52.200
you can click update,

553
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:53.670
but if you decide to wait

554
00:25:53.670 --> 00:25:55.770
and see what other options there are,

555
00:25:55.770 --> 00:25:57.170
I'm just gonna click cancel.

556
00:25:58.560 --> 00:26:01.860
Now the next area we see here in our table of contents area

557
00:26:01.860 --> 00:26:05.040
on the left hand side is bookmarks,

558
00:26:05.040 --> 00:26:07.560
bookmarks allow your students to bookmark

559
00:26:07.560 --> 00:26:09.660
certain components of their course,

560
00:26:09.660 --> 00:26:13.800
and it comes to this area in the bookmark space.

561
00:26:13.800 --> 00:26:18.060
Students can bookmark frequently visited content, topics,

562
00:26:18.060 --> 00:26:21.300
they can bookmark assignments, things like that,

563
00:26:21.300 --> 00:26:24.840
and it just lands here in this bookmark area.

564
00:26:24.840 --> 00:26:27.820
So for example, if I jump to module one

565
00:26:29.460 --> 00:26:32.550
and I go into a topic area,

566
00:26:32.550 --> 00:26:35.430
you'll notice I have at the top right of my screen

567
00:26:35.430 --> 00:26:37.170
a little bookmark.

568
00:26:37.170 --> 00:26:39.690
Once I select the bookmark tab,

569
00:26:39.690 --> 00:26:42.600
it will then go to my bookmarks,

570
00:26:42.600 --> 00:26:44.790
to get to the table of contents,

571
00:26:44.790 --> 00:26:47.310
I can see just below the second nav bar,

572
00:26:47.310 --> 00:26:49.830
what we call breadcrumbs.

573
00:26:49.830 --> 00:26:52.500
At any time I can go back to module one,

574
00:26:52.500 --> 00:26:54.690
or I can go back to my table of contents

575
00:26:54.690 --> 00:26:56.820
using the breadcrumbs.

576
00:26:56.820 --> 00:26:59.310
Now we do ask that you use the breadcrumbs

577
00:26:59.310 --> 00:27:02.100
versus using this back button at the very, very top

578
00:27:02.100 --> 00:27:04.740
of my left hand screen,

579
00:27:04.740 --> 00:27:06.570
because going back in this manner

580
00:27:06.570 --> 00:27:08.970
may actually bump you right out of Brightspace.

581
00:27:08.970 --> 00:27:12.330
So again, we do encourage you to use the breadcrumbs

582
00:27:12.330 --> 00:27:13.770
versus the back button,

583
00:27:13.770 --> 00:27:16.800
and you can always jump back on the nav bar

584
00:27:16.800 --> 00:27:18.363
to get to content again.

585
00:27:21.660 --> 00:27:24.930
Now, you'll notice I have a number one beside my bookmark,

586
00:27:24.930 --> 00:27:27.840
so because I bookmarked that particular document

587
00:27:27.840 --> 00:27:28.980
within my course,

588
00:27:28.980 --> 00:27:30.540
I can always click on bookmarks

589
00:27:30.540 --> 00:27:33.210
and it takes me directly to that page

590
00:27:33.210 --> 00:27:35.493
or that link that I was bookmarking.

591
00:27:37.290 --> 00:27:40.080
As a bookmark grows, the number will increase as well,

592
00:27:40.080 --> 00:27:42.750
just to indicate to the user or students that they have

593
00:27:42.750 --> 00:27:45.363
a lot of things in their favorites list if you will.

594
00:27:46.860 --> 00:27:50.670
Now the next area is what we call course schedule.

595
00:27:50.670 --> 00:27:53.700
The course schedule is inside of the course,

596
00:27:53.700 --> 00:27:56.640
and once we start to build assignments, or quizzes,

597
00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:58.560
or at dates, or due dates,

598
00:27:58.560 --> 00:28:00.660
to certain components in our course,

599
00:28:00.660 --> 00:28:04.770
it automatically links to this course schedule tab.

600
00:28:04.770 --> 00:28:08.490
Now the course schedule, students can always click into

601
00:28:08.490 --> 00:28:11.500
to see what's coming up within the next seven days

602
00:28:12.600 --> 00:28:14.190
under upcoming,

603
00:28:14.190 --> 00:28:16.440
or students can click into the course schedule

604
00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:19.740
and go to what we call a full schedule.

605
00:28:19.740 --> 00:28:21.300
Now we haven't scheduled anything yet

606
00:28:21.300 --> 00:28:23.610
in our practice course, but as you can see,

607
00:28:23.610 --> 00:28:24.780
students would be able to see

608
00:28:24.780 --> 00:28:27.870
a full schedule of upcoming events.

609
00:28:27.870 --> 00:28:30.150
Now the course schedule as mentioned

610
00:28:30.150 --> 00:28:32.400
is specific to the dates that we set

611
00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:34.743
to some of the activities within the course.

612
00:28:36.390 --> 00:28:39.450
If you are not using dates, that's okay

613
00:28:39.450 --> 00:28:42.600
because we have another tool on the course homepage,

614
00:28:42.600 --> 00:28:46.860
if I just click a course home, called the calendar tool.

615
00:28:46.860 --> 00:28:48.210
Now with the calendar tool,

616
00:28:48.210 --> 00:28:53.210
again, as we put dates on assignments and content, quizzes,

617
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:55.470
it will load to the calendar,

618
00:28:55.470 --> 00:28:58.230
but in the calendar we can also schedule events

619
00:28:58.230 --> 00:28:59.493
for students to see.

620
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:02.640
Now again, today is a high level overview,

621
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:04.260
so we will dive a little bit deeper

622
00:29:04.260 --> 00:29:07.410
into how the calendar works in a later session,

623
00:29:07.410 --> 00:29:09.750
but not only can students use the calendar,

624
00:29:09.750 --> 00:29:12.180
which will be seen directly on the homepage,

625
00:29:12.180 --> 00:29:14.630
but they can also click into the course schedule.

626
00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:19.533
Now, this brings us to the table of contents.

627
00:29:20.490 --> 00:29:21.930
The table of contents,

628
00:29:21.930 --> 00:29:25.680
once you click onto the table of contents area or the words,

629
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:28.470
it actually lists everything in the course,

630
00:29:28.470 --> 00:29:30.480
and you can scroll down to see all

631
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:31.953
of the different components.

632
00:29:33.090 --> 00:29:35.940
Students typically wouldn't click into the table of contents

633
00:29:35.940 --> 00:29:36.900
all at once,

634
00:29:36.900 --> 00:29:39.333
they would go to what we call our modules.

635
00:29:40.290 --> 00:29:41.730
With the table of contents,

636
00:29:41.730 --> 00:29:45.330
you will see this large number 146,

637
00:29:45.330 --> 00:29:47.970
which just indicates to me and to my users

638
00:29:47.970 --> 00:29:52.970
that there are 146 individual items of content in my course.

639
00:29:54.300 --> 00:29:55.560
Now mine's quite large,

640
00:29:55.560 --> 00:29:59.010
you may not have such a large group of items

641
00:29:59.010 --> 00:30:01.020
for your course, or you may have more

642
00:30:01.020 --> 00:30:02.850
and that's perfectly fine.

643
00:30:02.850 --> 00:30:05.460
It's just a number to indicate those are the items

644
00:30:05.460 --> 00:30:06.813
within the course itself.

645
00:30:08.580 --> 00:30:10.077
Now the next area we see here,

646
00:30:10.077 --> 00:30:13.740
and again in my example, we have modules.

647
00:30:13.740 --> 00:30:16.560
I have a before you start module, module one,

648
00:30:16.560 --> 00:30:18.363
module two, and so forth.

649
00:30:19.260 --> 00:30:21.450
Now with this before you start module,

650
00:30:21.450 --> 00:30:23.910
there are seven items within it,

651
00:30:23.910 --> 00:30:27.390
so of this 146, seven of those are in this

652
00:30:27.390 --> 00:30:28.653
before you start module.

653
00:30:29.700 --> 00:30:31.710
When you click on them before you start module,

654
00:30:31.710 --> 00:30:34.200
it breaks it down into the seven components

655
00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:35.973
within this module itself.

656
00:30:36.810 --> 00:30:38.610
Now we refer to it as a module

657
00:30:38.610 --> 00:30:41.100
but you may refer to it as a unit,

658
00:30:41.100 --> 00:30:44.100
we will share with you how to build a new module or unit

659
00:30:44.100 --> 00:30:46.383
and start to put components inside of that.

660
00:30:48.750 --> 00:30:52.230
Now you'll also notice when I click before you start,

661
00:30:52.230 --> 00:30:56.793
it expands and shows me what's inside of the module itself.

662
00:30:58.500 --> 00:31:00.333
So, let's begin.

663
00:31:02.310 --> 00:31:04.980
When we need to add a module to a course,

664
00:31:04.980 --> 00:31:07.110
it's a very simple process,

665
00:31:07.110 --> 00:31:09.387
now because I'm using this Brightspace resource course

666
00:31:09.387 --> 00:31:12.180
and there are quite a few modules already built,

667
00:31:12.180 --> 00:31:14.850
I would just scroll down to the bottom.

668
00:31:14.850 --> 00:31:17.310
If you are in fact using your sandbox,

669
00:31:17.310 --> 00:31:20.610
you may see at the very bottom of your table of contents

670
00:31:20.610 --> 00:31:22.773
and add a module box.

671
00:31:23.820 --> 00:31:26.640
When you click into that add module box,

672
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:29.820
this is where you can now start to build topics, modules,

673
00:31:29.820 --> 00:31:31.953
or units for your course content.

674
00:31:33.930 --> 00:31:36.420
So for example, I'm just in this box

675
00:31:36.420 --> 00:31:38.973
and I can add a title of my module,

676
00:31:39.990 --> 00:31:43.110
now I may keep with what's happening within my course,

677
00:31:43.110 --> 00:31:45.003
and I can put module three,

678
00:31:47.430 --> 00:31:49.440
and just follow along a topic matter,

679
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:50.460
or as mentioned,

680
00:31:50.460 --> 00:31:53.190
you can have a different name and convention as you see fit

681
00:31:53.190 --> 00:31:54.633
for your course material.

682
00:31:58.740 --> 00:32:00.870
Once I've typed in my module topic,

683
00:32:00.870 --> 00:32:05.430
I just click off with my mouse and my new module is built.

684
00:32:05.430 --> 00:32:07.500
Now by default, as you note,

685
00:32:07.500 --> 00:32:11.610
my module stands at the very bottom of my table of contents,

686
00:32:11.610 --> 00:32:14.430
but I can easily move that in a couple of different ways

687
00:32:14.430 --> 00:32:17.280
to where I'd like it to be within my course.

688
00:32:17.280 --> 00:32:19.380
Now as you're building a new sandbox,

689
00:32:19.380 --> 00:32:22.530
as you build your modules, you may not have to move them,

690
00:32:22.530 --> 00:32:26.040
but at any time, there is this two by four grid,

691
00:32:26.040 --> 00:32:27.960
you can just drag and drop it with your mouse

692
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:30.160
and place it where you feel it's best to go.

693
00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:35.460
Also, you could move it by coming up to the top

694
00:32:35.460 --> 00:32:37.830
of the screen just below the nav bar,

695
00:32:37.830 --> 00:32:40.470
you may see a drop down arrow,

696
00:32:40.470 --> 00:32:45.120
and with that, you see options to move up or move down,

697
00:32:45.120 --> 00:32:47.853
or move to a different space within your course,

698
00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:52.203
so there are different ways to do the exact same thing.

699
00:32:54.330 --> 00:32:55.770
Now that we've built our module,

700
00:32:55.770 --> 00:32:58.770
again to do that, all I have to do is click into these,

701
00:32:58.770 --> 00:33:02.790
add a module, type in my module text,

702
00:33:02.790 --> 00:33:04.590
and move it where I'd like it to go.

703
00:33:05.910 --> 00:33:09.390
At the top center, now we can customize what's in our module

704
00:33:09.390 --> 00:33:10.773
and build some content.

705
00:33:12.450 --> 00:33:15.360
Now, just as we saw with the overview,

706
00:33:15.360 --> 00:33:18.633
we have availability to add information to our module,

707
00:33:19.650 --> 00:33:21.720
for example, I may add a description

708
00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:23.370
just specific to this module,

709
00:33:23.370 --> 00:33:25.683
or I may add dates and restrictions.

710
00:33:26.970 --> 00:33:29.970
If I click into the words, add dates and restrictions,

711
00:33:29.970 --> 00:33:32.970
this allows me to add a start date, a due date,

712
00:33:32.970 --> 00:33:34.620
and an end date.

713
00:33:34.620 --> 00:33:38.280
Now we have to be mindful we're building content here,

714
00:33:38.280 --> 00:33:42.750
so start date allows me to actually connect a date

715
00:33:42.750 --> 00:33:46.920
to this content so that it will only appear on this date

716
00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:48.750
to my students.

717
00:33:48.750 --> 00:33:50.820
This just allows me to sort of layer out

718
00:33:50.820 --> 00:33:54.183
how the material is presented to my students in the course.

719
00:33:55.230 --> 00:33:57.570
Now in Brightspace, just to note,

720
00:33:57.570 --> 00:34:00.720
a start date is the very first date that the students

721
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:03.393
will actually see this module three content.

722
00:34:04.410 --> 00:34:08.820
A due date in Brightspace is what we call a soft date.

723
00:34:08.820 --> 00:34:12.270
Now a soft date means that I can allot a date

724
00:34:12.270 --> 00:34:14.790
to this module three content.

725
00:34:14.790 --> 00:34:16.770
The students will still have access to this

726
00:34:16.770 --> 00:34:20.670
after this due date, but it will appear to them as overdue

727
00:34:20.670 --> 00:34:23.283
in their course schedule and in their calendar.

728
00:34:25.080 --> 00:34:27.720
An end date is the true last date

729
00:34:27.720 --> 00:34:31.620
that the students will actually have access to this content,

730
00:34:31.620 --> 00:34:35.760
so if I do a lot or assign an end date to this content area,

731
00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:38.010
it just means that that's the last date

732
00:34:38.010 --> 00:34:41.043
the students will be able to see or access module three.

733
00:34:42.540 --> 00:34:44.400
Now this again is an option,

734
00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:46.740
you may not decide to put any start dates,

735
00:34:46.740 --> 00:34:49.290
due dates, or end dates to any of your content,

736
00:34:49.290 --> 00:34:52.050
you may choose to do this to assignments or quizzes

737
00:34:52.050 --> 00:34:53.640
within your course,

738
00:34:53.640 --> 00:34:55.650
or it may be a rolling start course

739
00:34:55.650 --> 00:34:57.350
where dates are just not required.

740
00:34:59.250 --> 00:35:02.220
The next area we see available to this module

741
00:35:02.220 --> 00:35:04.020
that we've just created is something

742
00:35:04.020 --> 00:35:06.810
we call release conditions.

743
00:35:06.810 --> 00:35:10.650
Release conditions allow us to set a specific criteria

744
00:35:10.650 --> 00:35:13.050
to this particular content,

745
00:35:13.050 --> 00:35:16.230
now release conditions are attached to not only content,

746
00:35:16.230 --> 00:35:19.560
but also many of the tools inside of your course,

747
00:35:19.560 --> 00:35:22.410
so you can set specific criteria to different components

748
00:35:22.410 --> 00:35:23.673
of your course material.

749
00:35:24.810 --> 00:35:26.970
Now we will dive deeper into release conditions,

750
00:35:26.970 --> 00:35:29.850
but just to share with you what we mean by this,

751
00:35:29.850 --> 00:35:31.950
let's assume for module three,

752
00:35:31.950 --> 00:35:34.440
I did not want my students to see this module

753
00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:37.563
until I know that they've completed all of module two.

754
00:35:38.520 --> 00:35:42.390
So I would click on this create under release conditions,

755
00:35:42.390 --> 00:35:45.840
and I would suggest, clicking this dropdown,

756
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:48.810
that my students could not access module three

757
00:35:48.810 --> 00:35:49.980
until I've come down

758
00:35:49.980 --> 00:35:54.903
and they visited all the content topics within module two.

759
00:35:56.010 --> 00:35:58.500
So I would select visit content topic,

760
00:35:58.500 --> 00:36:01.893
and I would select the last topic in module two.

761
00:36:04.080 --> 00:36:06.180
I would then select create,

762
00:36:06.180 --> 00:36:08.070
and with this release condition,

763
00:36:08.070 --> 00:36:10.650
the students must complete everything in module two

764
00:36:10.650 --> 00:36:13.473
before they can actually see module three.

765
00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:18.180
Now release conditions are used outside of start dates

766
00:36:18.180 --> 00:36:21.183
and end dates, but it's another option.

767
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:26.940
Now that we've called our module three content,

768
00:36:26.940 --> 00:36:29.250
we may have considered start dates, due dates,

769
00:36:29.250 --> 00:36:30.870
and end dates, and release conditions,

770
00:36:30.870 --> 00:36:35.163
we're just gonna click update and we have our module.

771
00:36:36.030 --> 00:36:38.400
At any time, you could edit the properties

772
00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:43.020
of the module three, by just clicking again onto the words,

773
00:36:43.020 --> 00:36:45.210
or clicking into the description to change,

774
00:36:45.210 --> 00:36:46.563
or edit the description.

775
00:36:49.530 --> 00:36:52.500
Now we have our module built,

776
00:36:52.500 --> 00:36:54.840
now we have to consider what sort of content

777
00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:57.003
are we placing inside of the module.

778
00:37:03.540 --> 00:37:06.600
To do that, we can click a couple of buttons,

779
00:37:06.600 --> 00:37:11.130
we have upload/create, existing activities, and bulk edit.

780
00:37:11.130 --> 00:37:14.460
We also have this space, drag and drop files here,

781
00:37:14.460 --> 00:37:18.330
to create and update topics.

782
00:37:18.330 --> 00:37:21.360
Just like we saw when we added our profile picture,

783
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:26.010
we can drag and drop images and documents into this space.

784
00:37:26.010 --> 00:37:29.340
So for example, if I did have something created

785
00:37:29.340 --> 00:37:33.900
such as my syllabi for this course on my laptop,

786
00:37:33.900 --> 00:37:35.490
I could simply drag and drop it

787
00:37:35.490 --> 00:37:37.893
and place it into this area here.

788
00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:41.550
Something I already have built very simple,

789
00:37:41.550 --> 00:37:42.930
within a matter of seconds,

790
00:37:42.930 --> 00:37:45.663
I can add to my module three content area.

791
00:37:48.390 --> 00:37:52.020
Now, I can also click this upload and create tab

792
00:37:52.020 --> 00:37:55.563
to upload and create components inside of my content area.

793
00:37:58.080 --> 00:38:01.680
Once I click upload and create, I have several options,

794
00:38:01.680 --> 00:38:03.783
again, another dropdown appears.

795
00:38:04.860 --> 00:38:06.660
As we mentioned a couple of times,

796
00:38:06.660 --> 00:38:08.940
we will dive deeper into these components,

797
00:38:08.940 --> 00:38:10.773
but we did wanna get you started.

798
00:38:11.640 --> 00:38:14.340
So when you click on upload and create,

799
00:38:14.340 --> 00:38:16.650
you can also click on upload files

800
00:38:16.650 --> 00:38:18.690
and you have the same availability

801
00:38:18.690 --> 00:38:21.510
to drag and drop something from your computer.

802
00:38:21.510 --> 00:38:23.730
Again, you could click on my computer

803
00:38:23.730 --> 00:38:26.430
and I could add something else to my course,

804
00:38:26.430 --> 00:38:28.233
module three content,

805
00:38:30.300 --> 00:38:32.583
simple drag and drop and click add,

806
00:38:34.380 --> 00:38:36.570
and I've added a new document.

807
00:38:36.570 --> 00:38:39.750
Now, when you are dragging and dropping in this capacity,

808
00:38:39.750 --> 00:38:41.940
you could drag and drop Word documents,

809
00:38:41.940 --> 00:38:46.940
PowerPoint documents, oh gosh, PDFs, there it is,

810
00:38:49.380 --> 00:38:51.690
sorry, I missed that in my head.

811
00:38:51.690 --> 00:38:53.910
Several different types of documents that you could add

812
00:38:53.910 --> 00:38:55.110
to your course material,

813
00:38:55.110 --> 00:38:57.990
when the student is ready, they'll click into this document

814
00:38:57.990 --> 00:38:59.493
and it will open up for them.

815
00:39:01.020 --> 00:39:02.940
Now again, high level overview,

816
00:39:02.940 --> 00:39:05.040
you could also click on upload files

817
00:39:05.040 --> 00:39:09.210
and grab something we call course offering or public files.

818
00:39:09.210 --> 00:39:12.540
Course offering files are already inside of your course,

819
00:39:12.540 --> 00:39:15.840
and they've been placed there by your administrators.

820
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:19.230
Public files may be something like a student code of conduct

821
00:39:19.230 --> 00:39:22.173
or a logo for UVM.

822
00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:25.080
These take you to another area

823
00:39:25.080 --> 00:39:27.210
within your course content material,

824
00:39:27.210 --> 00:39:30.510
where you can navigate and find a specific document,

825
00:39:30.510 --> 00:39:32.310
and it just brings that document

826
00:39:32.310 --> 00:39:34.203
into your course content material.

827
00:39:36.300 --> 00:39:39.060
Now again, high level overview.

828
00:39:39.060 --> 00:39:40.710
When you click upload/create,

829
00:39:40.710 --> 00:39:44.220
you can also click into this video or audio,

830
00:39:44.220 --> 00:39:47.430
this will allow you to upload a video

831
00:39:47.430 --> 00:39:51.000
or audio using a URL or an embed code,

832
00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:54.630
it also allows you to upload an MP3 or MP4

833
00:39:54.630 --> 00:39:57.180
that you already have within your system,

834
00:39:57.180 --> 00:39:59.133
again, it's a simple drag and drop.

835
00:40:01.770 --> 00:40:04.320
I'm just dragging and dropping an MP3 or MP4

836
00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:07.353
I've already created and adding it to my course material.

837
00:40:09.270 --> 00:40:11.880
It will render the video and let me know when it's ready,

838
00:40:11.880 --> 00:40:15.033
so I'm just gonna click save, no, title.

839
00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:25.053
I'm just gonna call this exciting content and save.

840
00:40:28.230 --> 00:40:30.570
It will display for me what the content is

841
00:40:30.570 --> 00:40:33.840
and this is very exciting stuff, groundbreaking material,

842
00:40:33.840 --> 00:40:38.193
it's just a 13 second MP3 that I was able to drag and drop.

843
00:40:39.270 --> 00:40:42.450
Again, I'm going to use my breadcrumbs at the very top

844
00:40:42.450 --> 00:40:45.183
of my screen, to bring me back to module three,

845
00:40:46.230 --> 00:40:47.763
where I can continue to build.

846
00:40:48.720 --> 00:40:50.880
So as you can see, in a matter of seconds,

847
00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:53.460
we added a couple of documents and a video,

848
00:40:53.460 --> 00:40:55.440
just by clicking upload and create,

849
00:40:55.440 --> 00:40:56.733
or dragging and dropping.

850
00:40:58.350 --> 00:41:00.960
Now another cool tool that we wanna talk about

851
00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:03.450
is create a file.

852
00:41:03.450 --> 00:41:05.460
When we select create a file,

853
00:41:05.460 --> 00:41:08.970
this will allow us to create a file from scratch

854
00:41:08.970 --> 00:41:12.150
and also use a couple of other tools.

855
00:41:12.150 --> 00:41:13.500
Again if you missed it,

856
00:41:13.500 --> 00:41:16.830
I'll just go back inside of my content,

857
00:41:16.830 --> 00:41:20.490
I'm inside of my module three, which we just created,

858
00:41:20.490 --> 00:41:22.893
again, I clicked on upload and create.

859
00:41:24.660 --> 00:41:27.810
Instead of going to upload files or video audio,

860
00:41:27.810 --> 00:41:29.793
I clicked on create a file.

861
00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:36.920
Now this allows me to build what we call an HTML file.

862
00:41:37.530 --> 00:41:39.810
There's a number of different things I can do here,

863
00:41:39.810 --> 00:41:42.330
and again, we will explain all of these details

864
00:41:42.330 --> 00:41:43.530
in a later session,

865
00:41:43.530 --> 00:41:46.140
but we did wanna introduce you to some of the features

866
00:41:46.140 --> 00:41:47.733
of this HTML file.

867
00:41:48.720 --> 00:41:53.073
We could give it a name, I may call this course overview,

868
00:41:56.100 --> 00:41:57.930
again, instead of using that overview

869
00:41:57.930 --> 00:41:59.880
or in combination with that overview

870
00:41:59.880 --> 00:42:01.830
in my course table of contents,

871
00:42:01.830 --> 00:42:03.333
I could create something here.

872
00:42:05.160 --> 00:42:07.110
Now you will note there is a tab here

873
00:42:07.110 --> 00:42:09.150
called hide from users,

874
00:42:09.150 --> 00:42:12.120
what this allows is for me to hide it from my students

875
00:42:12.120 --> 00:42:15.480
so they do not see it in time, ready to share it.

876
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:17.220
This is a great feature if you're building

877
00:42:17.220 --> 00:42:18.360
and you're not quite sure

878
00:42:18.360 --> 00:42:20.790
you're ready to reveal this content,

879
00:42:20.790 --> 00:42:23.163
it'll allow you to hide it until you're ready.

880
00:42:25.740 --> 00:42:28.110
Now as you can see on the center of my screen,

881
00:42:28.110 --> 00:42:31.290
I have this HTML editor area,

882
00:42:31.290 --> 00:42:33.750
and just like we saw before briefly,

883
00:42:33.750 --> 00:42:36.840
we could very simply and easily just type information

884
00:42:36.840 --> 00:42:37.923
in this area,

885
00:42:43.560 --> 00:42:45.783
I may say welcome to module three,

886
00:42:54.870 --> 00:42:56.730
and just simply type as I would type

887
00:42:56.730 --> 00:43:00.093
in a Microsoft Word document or another type of document.

888
00:43:01.230 --> 00:43:04.680
Now, because we mentioned assistive technology,

889
00:43:04.680 --> 00:43:08.640
this HTML editor is built specifically for helping students

890
00:43:08.640 --> 00:43:11.610
who do require assistive technology.

891
00:43:11.610 --> 00:43:13.980
That may mean that they need a screen reader,

892
00:43:13.980 --> 00:43:15.240
they need close captioning,

893
00:43:15.240 --> 00:43:18.720
they need details or descriptions of information,

894
00:43:18.720 --> 00:43:22.590
so HTML editors have assistive technology tools

895
00:43:22.590 --> 00:43:23.613
already built in.

896
00:43:24.750 --> 00:43:27.870
Although we've typed this in the font is quite small,

897
00:43:27.870 --> 00:43:31.710
so this may not meet our wizzywig or assistive technology,

898
00:43:31.710 --> 00:43:34.743
ADA compliant tools.

899
00:43:35.970 --> 00:43:37.200
Once I've typed everything,

900
00:43:37.200 --> 00:43:39.540
I've highlighted it so that I can now use

901
00:43:39.540 --> 00:43:41.310
this paragraph feature,

902
00:43:41.310 --> 00:43:45.660
which is about headings, and laying out,

903
00:43:45.660 --> 00:43:48.030
formatting and fonting, sizes,

904
00:43:48.030 --> 00:43:50.463
that meet the assistive technology needs.

905
00:43:51.510 --> 00:43:54.720
So, I can build my headline using heading one

906
00:43:54.720 --> 00:43:56.490
and continue to build content

907
00:43:56.490 --> 00:43:59.550
and using different headings or block quotes.

908
00:43:59.550 --> 00:44:01.210
So I can highlight the details

909
00:44:03.241 --> 00:44:06.063
and I can also center it using the center tab here,

910
00:44:09.450 --> 00:44:12.480
I may not want to do this so I could again go back,

911
00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:15.363
center it back and continue to build the material.

912
00:44:17.550 --> 00:44:20.970
Now, also within our Brightspace HTML editor here,

913
00:44:20.970 --> 00:44:23.373
we have some other cool buttons.

914
00:44:24.540 --> 00:44:28.260
We have this tab here called insert stuff,

915
00:44:28.260 --> 00:44:30.060
I know it's formally technical,

916
00:44:30.060 --> 00:44:34.113
but it allows you to do exactly that, insert stuff.

917
00:44:35.010 --> 00:44:38.850
Now just to recall, we are building it in HTML file,

918
00:44:38.850 --> 00:44:41.760
so we're building content within our course.

919
00:44:41.760 --> 00:44:46.200
We can build a file with content already in it.

920
00:44:46.200 --> 00:44:49.800
So for example, if I click insert stuff, just like I could,

921
00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:53.580
I could add a file directly to the HTML file

922
00:44:53.580 --> 00:44:56.550
and just choose a file from my laptop or computer screen

923
00:44:56.550 --> 00:44:57.383
and upload it.

924
00:44:58.650 --> 00:45:00.960
Insert stuff also allows me

925
00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:03.840
to go to course offering a public files,

926
00:45:03.840 --> 00:45:07.230
it can allow me to add a video note.

927
00:45:07.230 --> 00:45:10.710
A video note is where it will record from my webcam

928
00:45:10.710 --> 00:45:15.710
or my phone camera, an instant message up to 30 minutes

929
00:45:16.110 --> 00:45:17.973
that I can add to this file.

930
00:45:19.560 --> 00:45:21.840
We can add something from our media library,

931
00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:24.510
we can insert a link or even an embed code

932
00:45:24.510 --> 00:45:27.150
just to inform the students of this information

933
00:45:27.150 --> 00:45:30.793
that we want to share within our file inside of Brightspace,

934
00:45:32.190 --> 00:45:34.473
so, there is a lot of possibility here.

935
00:45:36.750 --> 00:45:39.573
We also have another tab called Insert Quicklink.

936
00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:43.620
Insert Quicklink is beside the insert stuff,

937
00:45:43.620 --> 00:45:46.800
and what this allows me to do is insert a link

938
00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:50.130
into my HTML via content that I'm building

939
00:45:50.130 --> 00:45:53.880
that directly connects to outside details.

940
00:45:53.880 --> 00:45:57.480
I could connect it to content already in my course,

941
00:45:57.480 --> 00:46:00.870
I could use a link to an external learning tool,

942
00:46:00.870 --> 00:46:05.340
my media library, or third party such as Cengage content,

943
00:46:05.340 --> 00:46:10.340
Gradescope, video assignment, and virtual classroom.

944
00:46:11.160 --> 00:46:14.400
So Insert Quicklink allows me to build upon

945
00:46:14.400 --> 00:46:17.220
stuff I already have or stuff that I want to add

946
00:46:17.220 --> 00:46:18.723
to this particular file.

947
00:46:20.970 --> 00:46:24.060
So in this instance, in my HTML file,

948
00:46:24.060 --> 00:46:25.170
I gave it a title

949
00:46:25.170 --> 00:46:27.330
and now I'm linking the course objectives

950
00:46:27.330 --> 00:46:30.033
to my course overview in my module three.

951
00:46:34.080 --> 00:46:36.780
Now another thing I could do is add an image,

952
00:46:36.780 --> 00:46:38.670
so I can click on this image box

953
00:46:38.670 --> 00:46:40.710
right beside Insert Quicklink,

954
00:46:40.710 --> 00:46:43.173
and I can add an image from my computer screen.

955
00:46:44.040 --> 00:46:46.650
Again, I would click my computer and again,

956
00:46:46.650 --> 00:46:49.773
I would drag and drop that image and click add.

957
00:46:50.670 --> 00:46:53.460
Now, whenever you're adding an image to Brightspace,

958
00:46:53.460 --> 00:46:56.070
again, meeting with our Wang and our ADA

959
00:46:56.070 --> 00:46:59.730
and our assistive technology,

960
00:46:59.730 --> 00:47:03.630
we need to be able to describe or convey what this image is

961
00:47:03.630 --> 00:47:06.003
for students requiring that technology.

962
00:47:07.500 --> 00:47:12.213
So this is an image of a moose with coffee,

963
00:47:15.630 --> 00:47:17.610
now this is just a decorative image,

964
00:47:17.610 --> 00:47:19.740
so I could select this image is decorative

965
00:47:19.740 --> 00:47:21.960
and it will not be picked up or conveyed,

966
00:47:21.960 --> 00:47:24.390
the message will not be conveyed to the users

967
00:47:24.390 --> 00:47:26.850
if it's a decorative image.

968
00:47:26.850 --> 00:47:30.870
But again, whenever we are adding anything such as an image,

969
00:47:30.870 --> 00:47:33.480
the system will ask us to describe that image

970
00:47:33.480 --> 00:47:34.743
for the students.

971
00:47:36.270 --> 00:47:37.500
So just like that,

972
00:47:37.500 --> 00:47:41.640
I've added a course overview, HTML file that has a title,

973
00:47:41.640 --> 00:47:45.360
a link to other material within the course, and an image.

974
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:48.960
At any time I can select onto the image and make it smaller,

975
00:47:48.960 --> 00:47:52.023
flip it about, crop it, whatever I'd like to,

976
00:47:54.750 --> 00:47:56.000
and I can save and close.

977
00:47:58.350 --> 00:48:00.240
Now if I go back to module three,

978
00:48:00.240 --> 00:48:01.830
I'll show you how it appears,

979
00:48:01.830 --> 00:48:04.443
here's my course overview HTML file,

980
00:48:05.790 --> 00:48:09.030
and this is how it would potentially look to a student.

981
00:48:09.030 --> 00:48:11.010
I could click directly into this link

982
00:48:11.010 --> 00:48:13.500
and it will bring me directly to the course objectives

983
00:48:13.500 --> 00:48:15.543
where I wanted to link my students to.

984
00:48:21.630 --> 00:48:24.420
Now, one final thing we wanted to share with you

985
00:48:24.420 --> 00:48:27.900
before we end today, is this upload to create again,

986
00:48:27.900 --> 00:48:31.770
and again, we're gonna return back to create a file.

987
00:48:31.770 --> 00:48:33.810
When I select create a file,

988
00:48:33.810 --> 00:48:35.640
as you can see, this looks very familiar,

989
00:48:35.640 --> 00:48:38.910
we were just building an HTML file,

990
00:48:38.910 --> 00:48:40.353
this time however,

991
00:48:42.120 --> 00:48:43.450
I'm going to add a title

992
00:48:48.210 --> 00:48:49.890
and I just wanna share with you

993
00:48:49.890 --> 00:48:53.760
what we have called the HTML templates.

994
00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:56.880
So again, I could come down to my HTML editor here

995
00:48:56.880 --> 00:48:58.920
and start typing away, insert stuff,

996
00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:00.720
insert a link and image,

997
00:49:00.720 --> 00:49:02.880
but this time I'm going to go to the select

998
00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:07.020
a document dropdown, when I click on this dropdown,

999
00:49:07.020 --> 00:49:09.570
a popup appears or a dropdown menu,

1000
00:49:09.570 --> 00:49:12.780
and these are all templates that you could utilize

1001
00:49:12.780 --> 00:49:15.030
to build course material.

1002
00:49:15.030 --> 00:49:17.550
Now again, we're just giving you an introduction to this,

1003
00:49:17.550 --> 00:49:19.800
we will expand on this at a later time,

1004
00:49:19.800 --> 00:49:22.533
but we did wanna share with you this functionality.

1005
00:49:23.550 --> 00:49:26.820
Now the title of my file is module introduction,

1006
00:49:26.820 --> 00:49:28.350
and I have a template for that,

1007
00:49:28.350 --> 00:49:31.020
so I'm just gonna select module introduction

1008
00:49:31.020 --> 00:49:34.143
and you'll notice a template loads onto my screen.

1009
00:49:35.130 --> 00:49:37.920
Each template is used for a different purpose,

1010
00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:39.720
however, they're all editable

1011
00:49:39.720 --> 00:49:43.203
and they can all be used in a variety of different forms.

1012
00:49:44.370 --> 00:49:45.870
Once I've selected my template,

1013
00:49:45.870 --> 00:49:49.560
I can come down and I can as mentioned,

1014
00:49:49.560 --> 00:49:52.113
edit any one of the components within the template.

1015
00:49:54.300 --> 00:49:57.360
Each template also has a description of how best to use

1016
00:49:57.360 --> 00:49:58.193
the template,

1017
00:49:58.193 --> 00:50:01.710
so I wanna ensure that I'm removing this intro instructions

1018
00:50:01.710 --> 00:50:03.933
and I can add my own material.

1019
00:50:04.890 --> 00:50:07.923
For example, I can add another image if I want to,

1020
00:50:09.780 --> 00:50:13.353
and make this image pop in this particular template.

1021
00:50:18.240 --> 00:50:20.643
Again, clicking on the image, making it smaller,

1022
00:50:22.380 --> 00:50:25.743
centering it, all the fun stuff.

1023
00:50:28.290 --> 00:50:30.813
Now with this, you could also add a Quicklink,

1024
00:50:41.520 --> 00:50:44.550
again, just typing in if I could spell correctly

1025
00:50:44.550 --> 00:50:47.880
that would be fantastic, type in some instructions,

1026
00:50:47.880 --> 00:50:49.743
add a Quicklink to a quiz,

1027
00:50:51.420 --> 00:50:53.590
but the templates are quite versatile

1028
00:50:54.540 --> 00:50:57.813
because you can build and add just as you would before,

1029
00:50:59.040 --> 00:51:01.203
and then I'll show you what it looks like.

1030
00:51:04.680 --> 00:51:06.930
So this is what the template would appear to be

1031
00:51:06.930 --> 00:51:07.830
for the students,

1032
00:51:07.830 --> 00:51:10.110
and you can see there is an image,

1033
00:51:10.110 --> 00:51:11.970
there is our introduction,

1034
00:51:11.970 --> 00:51:14.160
there is the link and in this template,

1035
00:51:14.160 --> 00:51:16.290
it has some learning objectives.

1036
00:51:16.290 --> 00:51:17.550
Now I will have to go back

1037
00:51:17.550 --> 00:51:19.110
and add my learning objectives here

1038
00:51:19.110 --> 00:51:21.360
to make it more specific to my course,

1039
00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:25.653
but that is content in building an HTML editor template.

1040
00:51:30.870 --> 00:51:35.673
So, again just to recap, we went into our content area,

1041
00:51:37.650 --> 00:51:41.190
we built a new module by simply clicking into add module,

1042
00:51:41.190 --> 00:51:43.740
and we typed in the module title.

1043
00:51:43.740 --> 00:51:45.960
We moved it about into our course content

1044
00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:47.700
where we wanted it to go,

1045
00:51:47.700 --> 00:51:51.693
and once inside of our module, we started to build content.

1046
00:51:52.530 --> 00:51:55.470
We can add a description, add some dates if needed,

1047
00:51:55.470 --> 00:52:00.470
and we can also simply upload files, clicking upload files,

1048
00:52:00.510 --> 00:52:02.460
we can drag and drop from our computer.

1049
00:52:03.570 --> 00:52:07.740
We can also add video or audio by just dragging and dropping

1050
00:52:07.740 --> 00:52:11.073
or copying and pasting a previous existing URL link.

1051
00:52:14.490 --> 00:52:17.940
We can create a file by clicking create file

1052
00:52:17.940 --> 00:52:22.940
and building our own HTML area or utilizing an HTML template

1053
00:52:23.250 --> 00:52:25.170
by clicking on, select a template

1054
00:52:25.170 --> 00:52:27.333
and choosing a template that you wanna add.

1055
00:52:28.350 --> 00:52:30.390
Again, each template has a different purpose

1056
00:52:30.390 --> 00:52:32.850
and each template can be completely customizable

1057
00:52:32.850 --> 00:52:34.773
to your needs for your course content.

1058
00:52:40.230 --> 00:52:43.650
So that leaves us with a few minutes for any questions

1059
00:52:43.650 --> 00:52:45.540
that are popping up,

1060
00:52:45.540 --> 00:52:49.440
any thoughts, ideas that we can assist you with

1061
00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:50.763
in our final minutes.

1062
00:52:59.370 --> 00:53:03.453
Looks like we have some great questions within our chat.

1063
00:53:15.690 --> 00:53:16.800
<v ->Jackie, by the looks of it,</v>

1064
00:53:16.800 --> 00:53:20.160
it looks like the questions in the chat were answered

1065
00:53:20.160 --> 00:53:24.300
by the UBM team but I do see a question coming now

1066
00:53:24.300 --> 00:53:26.730
asking if you can make the text wrap

1067
00:53:26.730 --> 00:53:31.233
around an image left or right aligned I think.

1068
00:53:34.530 --> 00:53:37.773
<v ->Can you make text wrap around image?</v>

1069
00:53:38.670 --> 00:53:40.200
There is a way to do that,

1070
00:53:40.200 --> 00:53:42.540
we don't have the opportunity to share that with you,

1071
00:53:42.540 --> 00:53:45.540
but we will certainly send that information out.

1072
00:53:45.540 --> 00:53:47.940
I don't know the idiocentrics of that,

1073
00:53:47.940 --> 00:53:50.590
but it does have to do within the Brightspace editor.

1074
00:53:57.180 --> 00:53:58.383
Yeah, great question.

1075
00:54:04.020 --> 00:54:05.760
There's quite a lot of features you can do

1076
00:54:05.760 --> 00:54:08.640
within the HTML editor,

1077
00:54:08.640 --> 00:54:09.840
we didn't get to them today,

1078
00:54:09.840 --> 00:54:12.930
we just wanted to provide you with an overall view

1079
00:54:12.930 --> 00:54:15.000
so you can get started in practicing

1080
00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:16.950
and testing some things out.

1081
00:54:16.950 --> 00:54:19.800
We will go into further detail about more of the tools

1082
00:54:19.800 --> 00:54:22.530
you can do within the editor, within the templates,

1083
00:54:22.530 --> 00:54:24.930
within the building content.

1084
00:54:24.930 --> 00:54:26.640
So, much more to share,

1085
00:54:26.640 --> 00:54:28.803
but also much more for you to practice.

1086
00:54:31.110 --> 00:54:33.543
Is there a quick button for student view?

1087
00:54:37.020 --> 00:54:38.580
I don't think there's a quick button,

1088
00:54:38.580 --> 00:54:39.720
but you can certainly again,

1089
00:54:39.720 --> 00:54:42.660
click on your name and view as learner,

1090
00:54:42.660 --> 00:54:44.660
that's the quickest way you can do that.

1091
00:54:48.000 --> 00:54:50.103
A great question, Joseph, thank you.

1092
00:54:58.620 --> 00:54:59.940
All right, we have four minutes left,

1093
00:54:59.940 --> 00:55:02.130
you're very welcome to take yourself off mute

1094
00:55:02.130 --> 00:55:04.833
and ask a question or simply pop it in chat.

1095
00:55:06.090 --> 00:55:08.820
Or if there are any comments from our administrators,

1096
00:55:08.820 --> 00:55:09.653
let me know.

1097
00:55:11.490 --> 00:55:12.873
It is quite quick, yes.

1098
00:55:14.100 --> 00:55:18.660
Now again, always remember to exit out of that view

1099
00:55:18.660 --> 00:55:20.550
because it can get a bit frustrating

1100
00:55:20.550 --> 00:55:22.083
and I will be honest with you.

1101
00:55:22.950 --> 00:55:26.310
I've even called IT because I forgot,

1102
00:55:26.310 --> 00:55:29.280
and I've said I can't function as an instructor

1103
00:55:29.280 --> 00:55:32.370
because it's not letting me click into buttons,

1104
00:55:32.370 --> 00:55:35.160
turns out I was in the role switch

1105
00:55:35.160 --> 00:55:37.560
and it does not allow me to work as an instructor

1106
00:55:37.560 --> 00:55:38.610
in a role switch.

1107
00:55:38.610 --> 00:55:41.703
So always remember to exit out of there or check.

1108
00:55:48.330 --> 00:55:51.123
Oh yes, I think we have but thanks.

1109
00:56:03.540 --> 00:56:05.550
All right, we only have about two minutes left,

1110
00:56:05.550 --> 00:56:07.470
so please feel free to ask any questions,

1111
00:56:07.470 --> 00:56:09.900
I know we covered quite a bit of information,

1112
00:56:09.900 --> 00:56:12.490
it will take you a few minutes just to sort of

1113
00:56:14.160 --> 00:56:15.750
get that information marinated,

1114
00:56:15.750 --> 00:56:18.240
practice with it in your own sandboxes,

1115
00:56:18.240 --> 00:56:22.440
but so much more.

1116
00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:25.227
<v ->Can I ask of a meta kind of question?</v>

1117
00:56:25.227 --> 00:56:26.520
<v ->Of course.</v>

1118
00:56:26.520 --> 00:56:31.260
<v ->How has the transition gone from Blackboard to Brightspace</v>

1119
00:56:31.260 --> 00:56:35.010
kind of porting over courses already developed

1120
00:56:35.010 --> 00:56:38.490
if you've looked at other universities?

1121
00:56:38.490 --> 00:56:42.750
I know many have done it, but just from your experience.

1122
00:56:42.750 --> 00:56:46.350
<v ->Well, once the initial shock wears off</v>

1123
00:56:46.350 --> 00:56:49.200
to be quite honest Joseph, it goes very well.

1124
00:56:49.200 --> 00:56:51.300
There are some idiocentrics I mean,

1125
00:56:51.300 --> 00:56:53.400
we are not perfect for sure,

1126
00:56:53.400 --> 00:56:56.030
but once we work around some of those idiocentrics,

1127
00:56:56.030 --> 00:56:57.750
it works very nicely.

1128
00:56:57.750 --> 00:56:59.910
There's a couple of different ways that we would do this,

1129
00:56:59.910 --> 00:57:02.400
we would migrate it in a global spectrum

1130
00:57:02.400 --> 00:57:05.490
where the administration will migrate certain courses

1131
00:57:05.490 --> 00:57:07.050
from Blackboard or Moodle,

1132
00:57:07.050 --> 00:57:09.900
and it does carry over fairly well.

1133
00:57:09.900 --> 00:57:13.080
There are a few documents that might not carry over,

1134
00:57:13.080 --> 00:57:15.390
and there's also a way where if

1135
00:57:15.390 --> 00:57:17.310
with the permission of your administration,

1136
00:57:17.310 --> 00:57:20.820
you can import a package from outside of Brightspace.

1137
00:57:20.820 --> 00:57:24.270
So we didn't get into that quite so deeply,

1138
00:57:24.270 --> 00:57:28.140
but there are ways for you to import an entire zip file

1139
00:57:28.140 --> 00:57:31.053
and then it unzips in your course.

1140
00:57:31.890 --> 00:57:34.260
We find that it works fairly well

1141
00:57:34.260 --> 00:57:36.720
because we understand that you're coming from places

1142
00:57:36.720 --> 00:57:40.200
where you spent years creating this beautiful material.

1143
00:57:40.200 --> 00:57:43.260
So overall I think once we get through those little

1144
00:57:43.260 --> 00:57:46.743
first blips, it works really well.

1145
00:57:48.420 --> 00:57:49.773
Yeah, great question.

1146
00:58:07.530 --> 00:58:10.200
All right, well, I do appreciate your time,

1147
00:58:10.200 --> 00:58:13.080
I know Darrell and the team also appreciates your time

1148
00:58:13.080 --> 00:58:13.920
for coming in.

1149
00:58:13.920 --> 00:58:18.273
Again, this will be recorded and sent out to your links.

1150
00:58:19.230 --> 00:58:21.723
We will be having other sessions moving forward.
