Policy and procedures documents support LMS implementation

Policy and procedures documents for the Brightspace Learning Management System are now available. They clarify such processes as requests for emergency course access and integrations and describe expectations and limitations for course archiving and content storage.

Effective Aug. 20, uploaded files will be limited to 500 MB each. While this limit will not affect the majority of courses, it may affect those employing video files.

The University provides several alternatives for storage of video and other large files. Visit Storage Alternatives for Brightspace Content for options and detailed instructions for using them.

YuJa Video Enterprise Platform is integrated into Brightspace; workshops are available for those wanting to learn how to use it.

MS Teams meeting recordings are saved in the instructor's OneDrive, making it easy to insert links instead of uploading videos to Brightspace.

Microsoft provides learning materials for Stream (on Sharepoint) and IT Services provides support.

Personalized help with Brightspace is available during summer online drop-in hours : Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m., or contact the support team to schedule one-on-one consultations.
