All full-time GBC faculty have access to Brightspace. Go to learn.georgebrown.ca and use your usual GBC log-in credentials for access. If you cannot access Brightspace, contact the Help Desk. See “Getting Help” for more information about support.
Sandbox
A Brightspace Sandbox is assigned to each individual with a Brightspace account. It is a place to learn and practice new tools and techniques, and a place to create new content that will be used in your courses.
All full-time faculty should have a Brightspace Sandbox in their account. If you do not have a sandbox, send an email to helpdesk@georgebrown.ca. Be sure to include “D2L Brightspace” in your email subject line to be triaged to the right support. Include your full name and employee ID in your message.
