Learning Management System Course Content Sharing

Faculty content developers who create materials within the Brightspace Learning Management System (LMS) may choose to share these resources with colleagues. If a colleague—whether a faculty member, dean, or DIID instructional designer—requests to copy an entire course or specific course elements from one Brightspace course shell to another, the faculty content developer must provide written permission via a Course Content Sharing Request in Etrieve.

Course materials created solely by an individual faculty member (e.g., introductions, videos, lightboard training, assignments, quiz questions, discussion questions) are owned by that faculty content developer and require explicit approval for sharing.

On the request form, the faculty content developer can specify which elements to include or exclude and, if applicable, set a duration for access. Once completed, the form is submitted via Etrieve to the Department of Instructional Innovation and Design (DIID) team’s ticketing system. All relevant parties will receive communication through the ticketing system regarding any questions and the decision made by the faculty content developer. Everyone will be notified once the approved course content has been successfully copied. No content will be copied or shared by the DIID Team without the faculty content developer’s approval.
