Which notifications can I turn on or off and how do I receive them per email?
Updated onArticleNotifications are messages containing course updates you can choose to receive via email. These are not the alerts you can see in Brightspace itself. You can turn email notifications on or off per course or per course component. Please note: the preferred settings set under Notifications are applicable for all courses you are enrolled in.

Welke notificaties kan ik aan- en uitzetten en hoe koppel ik meldingen aan mijn e-mail?
Updated onArticleNotifications zijn de e-mailmeldingen die je ontvangt van updates in een cursus. Het gaat dus niet om de alerts in Brightspace zelf (die weergegeven worden met een oranje stip in de minibar). Je kunt zelf aan- en uitzetten van welke cursussen en van welke cursusonderdelen je meldingen per e-mail ontvangt. Houd er rekening mee dat instellingen onder Notifications van toepassing zijn op alle cursussen waarvoor je bent ingeschreven.

How safe is Brightspace?
Updated onArticleOn May 25th 2018 the Dutch government adopted a law in accordance with the European GDPR: de Algemene Verordening Gegevensbescherming (AVG). Brightspace was chosen with AVG in mind and therefore complies with the new regulation. Everyone at Radboud University has formally agreed with the new privacy agreement. Brightspace is safe, but the security of the entire system (including links to different systems such as OSIRIS) is as strong as the weakest link. That is why Brightspace has been tested by the Digital Security group of Radboud University in an attempt to spot possible errors or risks. This extensive test has resulted in the definitive acceptance and implementation of Brightspace.

How are OSIRIS and Brightspace connected?
Updated onArticleOSIRIS is used for course administration. It is also the only official channel for registering student grades. You can use the gradebook in Brightspace, but only if you also register the grades in OSIRIS. Each academic year OSIRIS is used to designate educational personnel and students to courses. Based on this information lecturers, colleagues (Observers) and possibly student assistants will be enrolled in the right Brightspace courses (Course Offerings). Please read the article Which roles are available in Brightspace? for more information about which OSIRIS role is linked to which Brightspace role. Based on their OSIRIS enrolments students will be automatically enroled for the corresponding Brightspace courses. They will also be automatically assigned to a group within a course when you have indicated that the groups need to be transferred to Brightspace. Read more about (un)enroling for courses and groups here. For more information about the relationship between OSIRIS and Brightspace, please read the following article: How is a course created in Brightspace?

Can I use a test student in Brightspace?
Updated onArticleIn the process of adding content to your course in Brightspace it can be helpful to preview content as a student. This way you can see whether everything works as intended and whether you are satisfied with the design of the course. To view the course from the perspective of a student you can use View as student. If you want to experience specific content from the perspective of a student you can use the Dummy student; a fictional student you can add to a course and impersonate. You can then go through your course as a dummy student. Please contact your faculty ICT support if you would like to use a dummy student in a designated course. The dummy student will appear in your class list after confirmation of the ICT support. ICT support will also remove the dummy student if you don't need it anymore.
