Thank you for taking the time to participate in this sandbox.

The goal of this article is to provide helpful resources, tutorials, and other information related to the

Brightspace Learning Management System (LMS) platform.

Brightspace and the Valpo project team are here to support you every step of the way.

In addition to Brightspace help and support, you can always create a CITAL Helpdesk Ticket

Vendor Support Resources

Each vendor has dedicated support for all faculty, students, and administrators throughout the sandbox evaluation process.

You can find specific help resources below:

Sandbox Intro Testing Document

A guide to getting started within the Brightspace Sandbox environment. This is where faculty will be able to find their login credentials,

links to key first-time user support materials, and this also includes my email in case they are having trouble accessing your Sandbox. 

You can find the document here: Sandbox Testing Resources

Launch into Brightspace Course

Once you log in, this course provides participants with the ability to select their role with a checklist, and then the appropriate content will be released to them.

This course content includes documentation, walkthrough videos, and relevant links to our Brightspace Community.

We will enroll all your users as students into this course.

The Connect Widget

The “Connect with Us” Widget can be found on the top level homepage:

The Help Navbar Link

When participants are not on the top-level homepage, it is still easy to access the Brightspace Community.

Search for support videos, or reach out to Brightspace directly. This link is configured across the Navbar.
