Welcome to the start of 2023!

Start your term strong with our Term Start Guide – an excellent starting place if you are planning a course. Instructors may also supplement their in-person delivery of courses with online or virtual elements (such as holding virtual office hours, conducting online quizzes, or posting recorded content). A well-designed Brightspace course site can serve as an effective backup throughout the term.
