Our blog, powered by WordPress, contains a large selection of help resource documents for instructional use of Brightspace.

The blog has been heavily utilized since early 2015, communicating information on the migration from Blackboard to Brightspace, the Curriculum Mapping project, and educational technologies and ideas.
