All faculty members are encouraged to begin training in Brightspace, the new SUNY-wide learning management system. Desire2Learn Brightspace was selected to replace Blackboard as the learning management system for the SUNY Digital Learning Environment. Starting in J-Term 2023, all courses will use Brightspace, and content and student data will begin to be archived for historical purposes.

The Brightspace Fundamentals Workshop Series is designed for instructors new to Brightspace and is suitable for instructors teaching in any modality: face-to-face, hybrid, or online.

Workshops in the series are Navigation and Interface; Communication Tools; Authoring and Publishing Content; Gradable Activities: Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes; and Gradebook.

Faculty members teaching in J-Term and spring 2023 are able to access their courses now. Log in at Buffalo State's Brightspace, and be sure to use the network log-in and your Buffalo State credentials. If you are experiencing log-in issues, please submit a ticket via the IT portal.
