As for a lot of our applications, Brightspace uses Osiris as a source for a lot of aspects. To be able to use Brightspace you need a course, you need to know who teaches this course and of course, students need access to this course. All of this information is, in most cases, already available in Osiris. For that reason, there is a technical integration between Osiris and Brightspace. In this article we explain what this integration entails. 

Courses 

Courses are the backbone of Brightspace. This is where students can find all information, assignments and all other content that is provided by their teacher. Courses can be created in Brightspace through the integration with Osiris, so how does this work? 

A couple of months before the start of each (study) year in September, courses are created in Osiris. All important information about the course is recorded. This is usually done by the keyuser of each faculty, based on information from the OER. 

When creating courses in Osiris,  they will appear automatically in Brightspace by the integration. 

Teachers 

All employees that are added either as a teacher or as a contact person to a course in Osiris will automatically have access to this course in Brightspace by this integration.  

Students 

Students are automatically added to their Brightspace courses if they are registered for the course or the associated exams in Osiris.
