Need help building your course? We’ve created a D2L Brightspace template to save time getting started. Just import and fill in with your own content and assignments.

The template is a skeleton with 8 or 16 modules of placeholder pages all in the “Content” area of D2L Brightspace. Each module has places to preview course content and assignments, a blank discussion to facilitate engagement, and an empty ungraded quiz you can use for practice or make official. There is also a ‘Getting Started’ module for you to introduce the course, the syllabus, and yourself to students.

• Make your course easier to navigate, saving students time and reducing cognitive load so they can focus on mastering the content
• Keep students on track by organizing content linearly and all in one place
• Increase design consistency across one or multiple courses
• Save time building a course
