Brightspace
Brightspace is the Learning Management System used for SAU Tech’s online classroom, hybrid courses, and as a supplement within traditional classes.
An online orientation course (Learning Strategies) is required for all first-time online students enrolled in fully online and/or hybrid courses. (Note: Students enrolled in non-credit Environmental Training Academy courses are not required to take Learning Strategies.) The purpose of the Learning Strategies course is to prepare students for the online community that will be experienced throughout the online courses.
Students practice using Brightspace email, discussions board, assignments tool, assessments tool, and other pertinent Brightspace tools. The course has to be completed before the student is given access to his/her other courses. It takes approximately 8 to 10 hours to complete the Learning Strategies course. Learning Strategies is available two weeks before the first day of the semester. The student’s other online courses are available the first day of the semester provided he/she has completed Learning Strategies.
