D2L Librarian Cheat Sheet

This is a compilation of how-to information for navigating and building content in D2L BrightSpace. This information comes from SUNY's D2L training videos and asynchronous modules as well as from New Paltz's ITS training materials.

This cheat sheet has two tabs. The first tab goes over basic terminology and navigation within D2L. The second tab details how to create content within D2L.

Librarian Permissions

The role that has been set for Librarians is similar to the "course builder" role in BlackBoard. We will be able to view/add content, but we will not be able to view the grading area. 

Accessibility Features

Brightspace has several native features designed to increase accessibility for users who might be differently-abled, including users with dyslexia, visual, or hearing challenges. All users have to do is enable these features.
