D2L Brightspace: Share a Development Course

Question

What is one way to share my D2L Brightspace course with another faculty or Teacher's Assistant(TA)? What is a Development course?

Overview

Instructor and Teacher's Assistant roles can request a development course, copy their materials into it, and then request enrollment of a colleague to share the materials.

What is a development course?

• A development course is not tied to a university course and does not contain student data.
• The purpose of the course is to develop course materials for use in a "live" University course.
• You can also use development courses to share materials or collaborate with colleagues on course design.
• Note: Development courses are subject to deletion during our regular maintenance schedule.
