Update your course outline

Several key considerations must be addressed when using educational technology tools in your course. It is your responsibility to ensure that students are fully informed about the tool, its costs, and other details to align with University policy and Provincial acts.

We strongly encourage you to include all of this essential information in your course outline, to ensure students are aware of how it impacts them.

Refer to the TMU course outline template for some ways to incorporate this information into your course outline and to the Senate Course Outline Policies for guidance on what needs to be included in your course outlines.

If D2L Brightspace is the only educational technology you use in your course, you can find some sample text to include in your course outline, on our D2L Brightspace toolbox page.

To find sample text for other educational technology that our team supports, go to our Toolbox, and click on the tool name.

If you use other technology, which we don't support, feel free to use our sample text as a template, to make sure students have all of the information they need about costs, how their data is used, etc.
