Organize and assign learning with ease
With Brightspace’s tools, you can manage enrollment in professional development courses quickly and more confidently than ever before.
- Attributes, such as date hired, department, location, or job title, can be used to group individual users into learning groups, making it easy to assign courses to users who have similar needs.
- Membership rules automatically enroll users in learning groups and assign the appropriate learning.

Executing a professional development strategy is made easier with up-to-date information. Brightspace’s LMS data dashboard provides an at-a-glance view of your institution’s professional training activity.
- View detailed activity by users from a dashboard, including courses assigned, completed, or pending, and actively manage their enrollments.

Seamless learning with Site Tabs
Learners and instructors who take or teach courses at more than one associated institution can easily switch between Brightspace sites and keep on top of important information.
- Offer a seamless experience to move between courses people take and those they teach. Go from teaching a course to taking a course in one click.
- Allow your teachers, faculty, and staff to take voluntary or required courses by linking your main Brightspace site and a professional development site for employee training. These sites can even be configured and branded separately.
- View your notifications or alerts from all institutions and courses as soon as you log in to the LMS.
