Have you tried grading papers on Brightspace yet? Of the five available grading options, two of our favorites are the D2L grader app and the bulk download tool which allow you to mark up papers either on your iPad or using Word tools like comments and track changes. Grading on Brightspace allows instructors to communicate instantly private grades and feedback to students in a FERPA-protected space. Email us at Brightspace@vanderbilt.edu or check out this collection of step-by-step guides for help getting started.

For the rest of the spring semester, we will be offering drop-in hours for faculty and staff who have Brightspace-related questions. Stop by the workshop space of the CFT (even without an appointment) and find a specialist ready to assist. We can get you up to speed with Brightspace’s new features, assist with building your course content, or help you solve technical problems.
