Gradebook: Hacking the Workflow (3/5, 4/30 @ 9-9:30am on Teams)  
This session focuses on some more advanced features of the gradebook, including adding/deleting columns, extra credit, and resolving Brightspace gradebook errors.

Making accessible course content (3/6, 5/1 @ 9-9:30am on Teams)  
This workshop will break down the new Title II federal rule that requires that all of SUNY Geneseo's digital course content meet accessibility standards.

Hear from 2 colleagues, Tom Reho (Biology) and Jordain Moore (Study Abroad) who are saving time by using this advanced Brightspace feature, Intelligent Agents.
