New Content Experience in D2L Brightspace: Summer & Fall 26 Courses
Instructors: As part of ongoing efforts to improve consistency and usability across D2L Brightspace, the Senior Vice Chancellor of Academic and Student Affairs approved the ASA Technology Council recommendation that the New Content Experience be the default experience in all D2L Brightspace courses starting summer 2026.
To get started with the New Content Experience, faculty can visit one of the courses they are scheduled to teach this summer or fall. To support this transition, professional development opportunities are available through the Network for Educational Development (NED) as well as through MSUM Online Learning this spring, summer, and next fall to help faculty become familiar with the updated interface and its features.
While a comprehensive feature guide is available, this short comparison video may help you understand the most significant updates.
