SPECIAL ACTIVITY
We are Collecting Examples of Brightspace Navbars, Course Homepages, and Course Templates!
This year we are also collecting video screencasts from any Summit participants in Brightspace. If you are attending in-person, see John Zelenak, to record a quick screencast of your online course homepage, nav bar, and course template(s). The recordings will be shared!
- Examples of course navigation bars, course homepages, and course templates from campuses to share with other SUNY DLE campuses. We are looking for a quick video tour (a 5-7 minute narrated walkthrough) showing how the campus has customized and implemented these Brightspace elements for their campus.
- Virtual Summit participants can add a link to their screen cast here: SUNY DLE Template Customizations. Contact john.zelenak@suny.edu with any questions.
