Classlist Tool

The Classlist in Brightspace is a roster of all individuals that have access to the course site – all enrolled students, instructors, and teaching assistants. The classlist is linked directly to Banner, Memorial University’s registration system. All students who register for a course are automatically added to the Classlist for the course. Brightspace synchronizes with Banner several times a day to ensure that your Classlist is always up to date.

Students can use the Classlist to identify classmates and reach out to their instructor.

Classlist for a course can be accessed by going to Communication in the course navbar and selecting Classlist from the dropdown menu.

Monitor Student Progress

You can check student progress by clicking on downward-pointing arrow next to a student’s name.
