Pulse App for Brightspace Courses
The Brightspace Pulse app is a companion technology that can help students organize and plan for upcoming course activities through their mobile devices. Pulse can go deeper than you may realize. Students can directly engage in a course because D2L has refined the technology to scale to fit small screens; not just smaller but with improved layouts for tablets and even smartphones. Students can engage directly with course content such as reading announcements, participating in discussions, and reviewing actual content or grades right from their phones.
Course Friendly for Students
Your course can be Pulse "friendly" by setting due dates under the Restrictions. This puts activities on the course calendar making it even easier for students to stay caught up. We don't recommend students take exams or write papers on a smartphone but almost anything is possible.
Pulse for Instructors
Instructors can use Brightspace Pulse too. Just like students, instructors can use many course features in the Pulse App. Instructors can update content, add announcements, and complete assessments directly in Pulse.
