Daylight Experience in Brightspace
by D2L - Coming Soon!
Brightspace is getting a New Look!
Good news! Our Learning Management System is getting a facelift! Starting in February , 2018 you’ll notice a new look and feel for Brightspace. A cleaner interface, new fonts, and updated icons mean that your courses will look more polished and modern than ever.
The new user interface, called the Daylight Experience, was built with a responsive design. This means that it adapts to different screen sizes and looks great on laptops, tablets and smartphones. You and your students will find it much easier to stay connected and access the system from anywhere.
Although your common workflows aren’t changing, you’ll notice some positive changes when you first dive in. These are designed to make the experience more consistent and visually appealing for your students, as well as easier for you to create and update your courses. We’ll give you guidance to make any updates that are necessary, and then you can sit back and enjoy how beautiful your course looks!
Some of the changes that are being implemented to improve the design include:
· Simplified navigation design that is responsive for smaller devices
· Wider page layout for your content so that it’s the focal point of the page
· New fonts, icons, colors and simpler formatting of widgets provide a consistent experience
· Responsive homepage layout that works best with two columns
· New My Courses widget featuring rich photography in a responsive tile-based layout
· New image library with over 3,000 images that you can choose from for course tiles
We’re excited for this change and the improvements that we’ll see in the Learning Management System.
