SUMMARY:Building the Backbone of Your Course (Fall 2026)
DESCRIPTION:This is the first webinar in a three-part series on course design using the New Content Experience (NCE) in D2L Brightspace. Register for the full series: Designing in the New Content Experience. \nThe session focuses on how intentional course structure serves as a learning backbone that guides students\, reduces cognitive load\, and clearly communicates expectations. \nWe will examine why structure matters\, explore design choices\, identify common structural pitfalls\, and learn practical strategies to improve wayfinding\, equity\, and the overall student learning experience. Attendees will receive actionable ideas to strengthen the backbone of their course. \nLearning Objectives\n\nIdentify key design principles that support learner navigation and wayfinding\nMake intentional decisions about course structure using NCE tools\nAlign course layout with learner expectations and cognitive load principles\n\nAccommodations\nThe NED is committed to providing universal access to all of our events\, we’d like to discover how we can make the event more inclusive so you can fully participate! \nMachine generated captions are available in real-time for all Zoom events\, however human generated CART (live caption) service and ASL interpretation can be requested with advanced notice (2 weeks) to make the event more accessible. \nPlease\, let us know of any disability-related accommodations that will facilitate your full participation. \n Request Accommodations\nQuestions?\nContact facilitator Beth Jensen. \nRegistration Required\nUse the RSVP tool below to register. After registering\, a calendar invite will be sent to you as a reminder of the event start date.

SUMMARY:Designing for Learning within the Course Structure (Fall 2026)
DESCRIPTION:This is the second webinar in a three-part series on course design using the New Content Experience (NCE) in D2L Brightspace. Register for the full series: Designing in the New Content Experience. \nThe session focuses on designing effective learning experiences within NCE. We will explore how to actively support student learning by creating learning paths rather than simple collections of content. \nWe will also discuss how to design content that promotes engagement\, helping students understand why tasks matter and how they connect to learning goals. Overall\, the session provides practical guidance for creating organized\, learner-centered units that improve student engagement and success. \nLearning Objectives\n\nDesign modules that communicate purpose and relevance\nApply alignment principles within NCE units\nDesign learning experiences that encourage engagement\n\nAccommodations\nThe NED is committed to providing universal access to all of our events\, we’d like to discover how we can make the event more inclusive so you can fully participate! \nMachine generated captions are available in real-time for all Zoom events\, however human generated CART (live caption) service and ASL interpretation can be requested with advanced notice (2 weeks) to make the event more accessible. \nPlease\, let us know of any disability-related accommodations that will facilitate your full participation. \n Request Accommodations\nQuestions?\nContact facilitator Beth Jensen. \nRegistration Required\nUse the RSVP tool below to register.
