LMS Course frameworks and guide

These resources are developed in partnership with the University of Manitoba. Framework courses are the starting place for your course development. It contains examples in each of the basic Brightspace and Moodle tools (Grades, Assignments, Quizzes, Discussions, Content, Announcements) that can be edited to get your course up and running quickly. Three versions of the Framework course are available, for both Brightspace and Moodle, which contain examples that align with several disciplines.

Every framework course will contain standard components that assist an instructor in meeting Quality Matters requirements and best practices for online and remote learning.
