Using a Mobile Device
Brightspace Pulse is a mobile app that can help learners stay connected and on track with their courses in Brightspace Learning Environment. It provides one easy view of course calendars, readings, assignments, evaluations, grades, and announcement items. The app can help learners make better decisions about how to handle workload, when to submit assignments, and when to prepare for tests. Real-time alerts can let learners know when classes are canceled, rooms are moved, or new grades are available. The schedule view and weekly visualization enables learners to quickly at a glance view what is due today, this week, and upcoming across all their courses.
You can find the app by searching for “Brightspace Pulse” in your native app store. When you open the app, you'll be asked for our institution name, which is The Fashion Institute of Technology. Just log in with your FIT username and password.
Please note that the mobile app has limitations and not everything in your course will appear in the app. It's important to regularly log in to your course on your computer to make sure you do not miss any content that cannot be displayed in the app.
