The Brightspace Pulse app is not<\/strong> a replacement for accessing courses through Brightspace on a computer. The app is intended to be a quick way of checking on a course while you’re on the go. Not all course content will appear in the calendar and some content and feedback, are not included in the Courses tab of the app. Students are advised to view content and complete course assessments via a web browser, ideally on a laptop or desktop computer.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
