Toolin’ Around: Brightspace Manage Dates

Welcome to another CTLE “Toolin’ Around”!

What are these posts?

They are brief, easy-to-implement tips involving the tools we use everyday with students to make our teaching lives, well, easier (and possibly even more effective).

Toolin’ Around Tip: Use Brightspace’s Manage Dates tool to view, bulk edit, and bulk offset the date availability (as well as set the calendar status) of all topics/modules/assessments in your Brightspace course model.

Benefits?

• By utilizing Manage Dates you are able to take your course and streamline the process of setting up all of your course dates in one area, including the ability to set your calendar status for each item.
• You can filter your Manage Date’s tool to sort based on tool-specific order or work with more advanced filters to work with smaller sets of objects, allowing you to be as narrow or broad with your content dates and availability.
