[CANCELLED] Learning Lab: Brightspace HTML Templates (In-Person)

What are the benefits of using HTML templates? Templates improve the look and feel of courses and can help you organize your content more meaningfully by adding page elements. HTML templates are designed to meet Universal Design for Learning and Accessibility standards (WCAG). Templates include formatting styles, such as heading levels and paragraphs, that help create content that is accessible for assistive technologies.

Langara’s Brightspace HTML templates can be used to create engaging and interactive content layouts within a D2L Brightspace course. Templates include both text layout pages, such as introduction and conclusion layouts, and dynamic pages with interactive elements, such as accordions and tabs.

After participating in this lab, participants should be able to:

• • Use the Brightspace HTML editor.
  • Explain the benefits of using the HTML templates.
  • Apply the templates to a new Brightspace HTML page.
  • Apply the latest version of the template to an existing Brightspace HTML page.
  • Mix and match HTML elements, such as image placement, accordions, callouts, tables, and tabs, from the various templates.

This lab is a participatory session. EdTech Advisor and Specialists will be on hand to answer questions and provide advice. We encourage you to bring existing Brightspace course content. Participants must bring a laptop or a tablet.

If you do not have a practice course, please let us know and we will create one for you in advance of the session.
