Make Basic Course Template dutch
Every new course in Brightspace has a standard English structure under Content. We call this the course template. If you want the template in Dutch, this article describes how to do this.
Courses that have been placed in Brightspace using the link with Osiris automatically have an English structure under Content. Unfortunately, you cannot adjust this structure with one click, but there are other ways to translate it to Dutch
- You can remove the English Units and import the Dutch template. We will explain this step-by-step.
- You can translate the English template yourself using the translation table. This is at the bottom of this article.
Step 1 – View the course
In the next few steps we will upload the Dutch template file within the course. The new (Dutch) units will be below the current units in the content. If these current units are empty, or if you have not added anything yourself, you can delete them now. If you have already added content that you want to keep, you do not have to delete it yet.
Step 2 – Download the Dutch template file
To upload the Dutch template, it must first be downloaded. Download the latest version of the template. This is below, as a Zipfile.

Step 3 – Upload the file to the course
- Go to the course
- Go to Course Tools – then Course Admin
- Click on Import/Export/Copy Components
- Select Import components and click Start
- Upload the Zipfile by selecting it on the PC, or drag it to the Upload box
- Click on Import all Components if you want the entire Dutch template. Click on Advanced Options if you want specific parts first. For example, if you are not going to use all parts of the template
- Converting and importing may take a while
- Click on view content to see the results when it is done
Step 4 – Move the content and/or remove the English content
Now the Dutch template is in the course. If you already deleted the English part, you can now continue building the course!
If you already had content in the English part, you may want to move it to the Dutch part before deleting it. You can do this by clicking on the three dots at the top right of the page. Click on Move To and then select the Unit, Lesson, or Folder where the content should be.
Translation table
It is also possible to translate the Units, Lessons, Folders and pages yourself. For this you can use the table below.
