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 the Content tool in your course navigation bar.
- Click on a module (folder) in the left-side navigation 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 is a content topic unavailable?
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 available until the start date. Your instructor sets the dates on these items, so if the date seems incorrect please contact your instructor.
