What is TCU Online?
Brightspace by D2L, referred to as TCU Online, is TCU’s learning management system. Using TCU Online is optional for face-to-face classes, and each faculty member may utilize different tools. In TCU Online, instructors are able to:
- Post syllabi
- Maintain a secure gradebook
- Share accessible course content
- Give quizzes and exams
- Facilitate online discussions
- Collect and provide feedback on assignments
- Correspond with students through announcements and email
- And more!
Courses are automatically created in TCU Online when a faculty member is officially assigned to a course in TCU’s Class Search. TCU Online will continue to update as faculty are assigned to new courses through the Registrar’s office. Please note, although TCU Online updates frequently, it may take up to 24 hours to reflect recent changes made by the Registrar.
By default, courses created in TCU Online are inactive unless the instructor chooses to activate and use the course.
