Introduction:
Some Brightspace organizations allow users to self-enroll, giving you the flexibility to join optional trainings, workshops, or supplemental courses at your convenience. Whether you’re an instructor, student, or staff member, this guide will show you how to find and enroll in available courses using the Discover tool in Brightspace.
Discover Tool:
In a Brightspace organization, organization leaders have the option to enable self-enrollment within their organization. Discovery is a feature in Brightspace that makes an organization visible to users who are not yet enrolled. This feature enables users to self-enroll, allowing them to join optional training, workshops, or supplemental courses at their convenience. For more information on self-enrollment, please visit our self-enrollment article.
