Creator+

Creator+ is a new add-on package for Brightspace to help tutors create more interactive and aesthetic content within Brightspace.
It doesn’t replace any features of Brightspace or change the way that Brightspace currently works, instead, it adds more functionality which will promote its use as a learning environment, rather than just a place to store files.
It currently has three features available to tutors, which are mentioned in the guide below.

For more details on each of these features please see the sections below.

Using ePortfolios in Brightspace

The ePortfolio tool in Brightspace is no longer generally available, and we recommend the Class Notebook in Teams as a possible replacement. These guides remain on iPark for a small number of modules which are still using it.
