About

The Brightspace learning management system automatically provides a course for every class at the University of Southern California. Brightspace can be used to share course materials, communicate with students, facilitate asynchronous discussion, collect assignments, deliver online tests, quizzes, and surveys, and record and track grades. It is also where Zoom class meetings can be accessed. 

Registered students and faculty with active teaching assignments will have access to Brightspace.
