Brightspace is the new online learning environment used by the UU. Brightspace allows you to design your blended or fully online course in a structured and user-friendly manner. There is a wide choice of learning activities available for an activating and scalable didactic design. All learning activities are accommodated in the course environment: students can work independently with interactive content, collaborate on group assignments, and can get referred to online meetings in Teams or face-to-face meetings on campus.

For information about the switch to Brightspace in September 2025 visit this UU intranet page (login with SolisId).
