Brightspace Pulse – a BRIGHT Idea!

October 20, 2022

Do you have trouble staying on top of all of the test dates and assignment due dates across all of your courses? Have you tried to write them all down but forget to look at your calendar (or forget to write them down)? Well we’ve got a bright idea for you!

Brightspace Pulse is an app developed by the same company as the LEARN platform (think of Brightspace Pulse and LEARN and best friends who talk all the time). That means if LEARN knows something, Brightspace Pulse knows it too – if your assignment due date or test date is listed in LEARN, Brightspace Pulse knows about it too.

So if LEARN and Brightspace Pulse have the same information, why do I need the Brightspace Pulse app? The benefit to having the Brightspace Pulse app is that you are able to visually see, across all of your courses, important dates for the week (month, etc…). You can even set up notifications to help remind yourself of upcoming due dates or test dates.

I’m sold! But…what does this cost? Zip, zilch, nada. It’s totally free to download and use. 🙂

NOTE: While this app was developed with integration and communication between the app and LEARN in mind, students are responsible for ensuring accuracy of important dates, or adding in any dates that might not already be reflected.
