The Brightspace Learning Management System boasts a wide variety of tools to assist instructors in student learning outcomes assessment. While there are many tutorials on how to utilize the tools available, clear guidance can sometimes be obscured by information on a broad range of add-ons, subscription upgrades, and tie-ins with other assessment management platforms. These challenges often leave instructors in want of clear, concise guidance on what is available and how it can be effectively utilized for their assessment needs. The Fall 2024 Zoom-in endeavors to provide exactly that. In this event, participants will be led through the fundamentals of Brightspace assessment.

Outcomes:

Participants will:

  • Explore assessment-related functions available in Brightspace, including rubric creation and tools to assess individual student engagement.
  • Understand how to use Brightspace assessment tools to streamline formative and summative assessment processes.
  • Discuss experiences, strategies and share resources to help Brightspace assessment tools fit comfortably into a campus’s existing assessment infrastructure.
  • Understand how to leverage data produced using Brightspace’s assessment tools to provide authentic and meaningful data for continuous improvement.
