Troubleshooting Pulse

  • I can't see my courses - It's possible that the courses you're enrolled in haven't started yet or they don't have any dates associated with them.
  • I don't see any updates, announcements, or grades - Updates will only begin appearing after the initial log in.
  • Percentage values don't appear for any of my activities - While Brightspace Pulse can retrieve data from your courses in Brightspace Learning Environment, it cannot determine percentage values for individual activities.
  • I don't see updated course content in the Updates tab - Only if your instructor checks "Notify" when updating content in your course will you be alerted. Please check with your instructor if you do not see content update notifications.
