Viewing your module Content

Overview

When you login to Brightspace you will be presented with modules that you are registered to, including completed modules. Each module should have a similar design and structure allowing you to find your learning materials easily.

Each module will have its own Homepage where you will see the module specific calendar and any updates throughout the trimester. You will find your learning materials in the 'My Learning' section of Brightspace.

Your module is also where you will find any assignments or quizzes being used throughout your studies and where you will be able to find any feedback and grades released in Brightspace.
