Brightspace Core
Our learning platform includes all the tools and support you need to help drive business success with engaging learning experiences for all employees, whether they’re in the office or working remotely.
Easily create and curate content
The intuitive design makes it easy to build new content or import curated course content and access the system from any device.
- Create course content right in the system, or easily curate content from third-party authoring tools and off-the-shelf content providers.
- Collect content in a single library, and share and reuse resources—individual files, topics, or entire courses—across the company.
- Access content from any device with a mobile-friendly interface that adapts to any screen size and mobile apps to optimize common tasks.
Drive skills mastery
Create a culture of collaboration, communication, and engagement to take skills development beyond just content consumption.
- Promote iterative employee improvement through coaching and soft-skills development with video-based assessments.
- Promote social learning, and encourage employees to share and collaborate using online discussion forums and digital portfolio functionality.
- Add an element of gamification to motivate employees by recognizing with awards and certificates their training completion and achievements.
- Connect face-to-face with employees with integrated web conferencing, and use whiteboards and slide sharing to make your virtual meetings more engaging.
- Record and embed short video clips in course content to provide examples or facilitate microlearning experiences.
Motivate learners with personalized training
Flexible options allow you to deliver programs that engage each employee’s unique skill set while ensuring organizational needs are met.
- With automated tools, create personalized learning pathways for each learner based on what he or she does—or doesn’t do—in the system.
- Different course delivery methods can be explored to suit your employees’ needs, whether they’re on-site, online, or both.
- Employees can quickly search for and self-enroll in the courses they need to improve their skills and complete required training.
- Give timely and meaningful feedback in the moment with in-line annotations directly in documents as well as with rubrics and video comments.
- Use built-in analytics to track and understand the performance of departments, courses, or individual employees so you can make better decisions about training and development.
