Content
You can view and access course materials in several ways within an online course. For instance, you may be asked to access and read course content by:
- Viewing and downloading course materials (such as a syllabus and schedule) from the Content tool,
- Accessing a third party or external website linked from the D2L Brightspace course,
- Completing course activities outside of the D2L Brightspace course.
Refer to your instructor for guidance.
Access a topic in Content
- Navigate to Materials > Content in your course navbar.
- Click on the Table of Contents link in the left-hand pane.

- Click on a module (folder) in the list to review the topics in it.
- Click on the name of the topic to view it.
- Do any of the following (if available):
- View the topic in the browser.
- Print the topic from the browser’s window using the Print button.

- Download the topic’s file (if available) using the Download button.

Why can't I click on a content topic?
It's likely there is a date restriction on the topic or the module (folder) it's within. Check the topic and its module for any date restrictions. For example, a topic with a future start date won't be accessible until the start date. Your instructor sets the dates on these items, so if the date seems incorrect please contact your instructor.
