In this guide, we'll show you how to access your course materials and how to download them.
Getting to Content
From the Course Homepage, click on Content in the NavBar.
What can you find in Content?
The Content page of Brightspace serves as an organized repository for learning materials for the course. It breaks down the course into 2 core pillars:
- Table of Contents: This is the backbone, outline, or blueprint. It acts as the navigation system, organizing the course into chronological or thematic modules, sub-modules, and units.
- The Learning Materials: This is the actual content housed inside that structure. It includes the files, videos, assignments, discussions, and quizzes that live under each specific module.
All files that have been uploaded by the instructor(s) can be *downloaded by students for offline access.
*does not apply to Chromebooks or other web-based only devices
**use the Brightspace Pulse app to gain offline access to course files
