Instructors have the ability to create their own project sites within Brightspace. Project sites serve various purposes such as non-scheduled teaching, department management or other group-based communication, sandbox and/or testing areas.

Project Site Creation
Go to the Brightspace homepage at brightspace.brocku.ca/d2l/home or by clicking the Brock logo in the top-left corner of any Brightspace site.
Scroll down the page to find the Create Project Site widget. This is available in the left column under both the Calendar and Brock University Updates sections.
Click the Create Project Site button and enter a Title for the site (this can be changed later through Course Offering Information), as well as a Site Type. Click Next.
A final page will confirm any choices. Click the Create Project Site button to proceed or Back to make changes.
The site will be immediately created with the creator assigned as Instructor. Links will be provided to navigate directly to the new site’s Classlist and Homepage.
Additional instructors can be added through the site’s Add User widget while participants or students can be added via the site Classlist. Contact edtech@brocku.ca for assistance with bulk enrollment.
Project sites are Active upon creation but can be hidden from other users by deactivating through the site's Course Offering Information.
The site can be found using the Course Selector (waffle icon) in the top-right of Brightspace, or the My Courses widget on the Brightspace homepage.
