A realtime link between OSIRIS and Brightspace has been created to ensure that any changes in OSIRIS will automatically and almost directly (within a minute) show up in Brightspace. There might be a delay during very busy periods.

From OSIRIS course to Brightspace course (Course Offering)
All the courses in OSIRIS are checked every academic year on whether they should be transferred to Brightspace. There are two reasons for a course not showing up in Brightspace:
- The course has not been finalised in OSIRIS (and has therefore not been transferred).
- The course has deliberately not been transferred (theCourse to LMS box has not been checked).
Please contact an OSIRIS admin if you want more clarity concerning the status of your course.
Teachers are automatically enroled in their courses
To which course and in what role a teacher is enrolled in a course is predetermined every academic year in OSIRIS. Based on this information, teachers and students (later possibly other non-cascading roles aswell) are registered for the correct Brightspace course (Cours Offerings) via the link.
Make courses available to students
Every course that has been transferred from OSIRIS to Brightspace is automatically set to inactive. Start and/or end dates are not automatically transferred to the Brightspace course. You will activate the course yourself as soon as you want to open it to students. Preferably you do this by means of a start date and not via a status change (active/ inactive), because student will not see the course at all when it is inactive. With setting a start date you communicate to students that the course does exists but it is not yet available. In the later case, students will see the course on their homepage (if they have pinned it) and the start date on the coyurse banner, but they will not yet have access to the content. Any updates from the OSIRIS interface will not overwrite the course status and specified start and end dates.
Create groups
Based on the settings regarding group enrollment in OSIRIS, it is possible to transfer groups created in OSIRIS to Brightspace (shown as sections). The box groups to LMS? is not checked by default. You can learn more about groups by reading How to create groups?
Student enrolment for courses and groups
Students will be automatically enrolled for courses in Brightspace based on their enrollments in OSIRIS. They will also be automatically enrolled in groups in Brightspace when the settings in Osiris allow the groups to be transferred alongside the regular enrollment. Learn more about this process by reading Enrollment for courses and groups.
