for Corporate Learning
Brightspace Emerge combines all the tools, services, and support you need to launch your digital transformation, delivering engaging learning experiences for your employees, partners, and customers, and to help drive business success — all in one convenient package.
Simplify content creation and curation
- Quickly create new course content. Built-in templates are beautiful, mobile-friendly, and accessible, providing the perfect starting point to support with creating high-quality content that provides learners with consistent and on-brand experiences.
- Seamlessly add existing content. Link to or embed learning materials—documents, activities, videos, presentations, recordings, and more—from shared drives and external sources right into your courses in Brightspace.
- Easily import course content. Diversify your offerings by curating course content from supported LMSs and third-party content providers and importing it directly into Brightspace.
Drive social and collaborative learning
- Help increase learner engagement. Make it easy for learners to virtually connect, interact, and collaborate with their instructors and peers by leveraging the activity feed and discussion forums.
- Facilitate micro-learning experiences. Use Video Note to record and embed short video clips in course content to give context, demonstrate a concept, or provide relevant examples.
- Add an element of gamification. Include interactive polls, questions and activities to help learners build and demonstrate their skills. Recognise individual achievements and help motivate learners with awards, badges, and certificates—all easily managed from within Brightspace.
Uncomplicate the user experience
- Access content from any device—desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Our responsive learning platform and top-rated Brightspace Pulse mobile app helps provide flexible access to professional development and training programs from anywhere at any time. Beautifully designed, Brightspace is engaging and intuitive to navigate.
- Reach every learner. Brightspace Emerge conforms to the WCAG 2.1 Level AAA standard and has CODiE award-winning accessibility features, including a built-in accessibility checker, that helps you accommodate the unique needs of your learners.
- Make data-informed decisions. Tap into meaningful data insights that can help you track the performance and understand the impact of your learning programs.
- Deliver personalised learning with ease. Instructors can use automation tools to help release content according to learner progress, send notifications and messages based on pre-set criteria, streamline feedback and evaluations, and more.
Partner with our experts for support
- Start with your own unique success plan. A personalised implementation and training experience focuses on what you need and can help eliminate what you don’t, optimising time and resources.
- Get the support you need, when you need it. The Approved Support Contact (ASC) Portal makes it quick and easy for your LMS admins to connect with Brightspace Support and leverage resources and tools to help keep things running smoothly.
