Introducing Daylight in VU Collaborate

VU Collaborate will look very different from the 15th of January 2018.  VU Collaborate is a learning management system made by D2L Brightspace and they are changing the look and functionality of the platform. Daylight has a clean looking interface that will work equally as smoothly on the computer, tablet and smartphone.  You can see the Home pages from a laptop and smart phone below.

To enter a unit space from the home page, you need to click on the picture (tile).  From the home page you also have access applications for a smart phone, alerts, profile management, the library, VU Website and an array of Help options as shown below.

When you enter your unit space you have as many options as you did before.  You can access the content in your Learning Space, Communicate with others,  access Help, see Alerts and Updates, link to the VU website through the VU icon and see News announcements.
