Create FAQs
You can use the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) tool in Brightspace to provide answers to a list of common questions that your students might have about your course. It can be a great way to avoid repeating information all of your students can benefit from knowing.

How to use this to improve your course
- Use an FAQ if you receive the same queries repeatedly from students in your course, instead of having to constantly address email queries.
- Once you activate the “FAQ” section on your course, you can let your students know by sending an Announcement.
- Copy this component to your course when it repeats in a next quarter/year.
