Course Notifications, Calendar, D2L Content, and More
The free Brightspace Pulse app helps students keep track of eLearning@UNG (D2L) notifications, assignments, grades, and course news. Students can also access course content, view and submit discussion posts, or view their course activity feed.
Real-time alerts let your students know when classes are cancelled, rooms are moved, or new grades are posted.
The app is available for iPad/iPhone and Android mobile devices from the Apple App Store and on Google Play.
