Access Lessons

Intended Audience: Students

Introduction:

In Brightspace, the Lessons page serves as a guide that enables you to browse the course contents, such as units, lessons, folders, and materials. You can easily access each component by clicking on the expandable tile. A checkmark will appear next to the component name once you've viewed it, indicating the number of viewed components.

Details:

  1. First, tap Course Activities and then choose Lessons from the Navbar.
    The homepage for a demo course is shown with Course Activities selected showing the drop-down options. An arrow points to Lessons.
  2. Next, tap the Getting Started tile to expand the assignments to review and/or complete.
  3. Then select Launch Unit to view the various assignments within.
  4. Once you have finished reading the Welcome Letter, you can proceed to the next activity by clicking the Next Activity button (right-pointing arrow) located at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can expand or collapse the unit navigation by clicking the menu icon (pancake) on the left. You have the option to use one or both of these methods.
    Getting Started unit is shown with an arrow pointing to the expand/collapse menu icon and to the next page icon button.
  5. As a result, this will allow you to view the Course Pacing Guide. Review the appropriate pacing guide for you by tapping the appropriate 10, 12 or 18 week pacing guide link.
