Hello Colleagues,
As you know, we are using Brightspace exclusively for all courses now. Be ready and get started:
- Make your course available to students or, to use Brightspace's terminology, make the course active.
- Ensure items in your course are set to visible (not Hidden) as needed.
- Send a welcome message to students using the Brightspace Announcements tool.
- Post an announcement asking students to set their York email as their preferred email in their CUNYfirst (CF) account. Attached is a tutorial on how to change preferred email in CUNYfirst.
