The Discover tool in Brightspace allows every Brightspace user to enrol themselves automatically as a Student in selected courses that are “flagged” as discoverable. This can be useful in specific situations, such as a general information page that is available to all students that are searching for it.

• Make your Course Discoverable (open for self-enrollment)

For all centrally scheduled courses, student enrollments are automatically processed to Brightspace. Therefore, it is not possible to make these courses discoverable.

The Discover tool is accessible from the green navigation bar on the Brightspace home page. When a course is “flagged” as discoverable it is visible in the list of courses and all users can enrol themselves as a student in that course. Still, other ways of enrollment (manually via Classlist or automatically processed by the link with the student course registration) are possible in those courses. However, the original enrollment source is not visible in the Classlist.

Now you know how to use the Discover tool in Brightspace!
