26 How to get your old materials into your new Brightspace course

If you have previously taught LEH 250 you may want to import some of your materials into your new Brightspace course for this semester.

As part of the migration process, IT has imported several years of your prior courses into Brightspace without the associated student records.   However you need to search for them since they are not Fall 2025 courses.

 

Switch to the “All” tab and then if you don’t see your courses, click “View All Courses.”

Tabs for selecting courses and organizations on the Brightspace Home page.
