View notifications in Brightspace Pulse

To ensure that you receive up-to-date information, Brightspace Pulse sends push notifications for all new and updated notifications. This removes the need to manually check for notifications. These notifications offer you tips and keep you informed about unit-related news, updates, due dates, and grades from Announcements, Grades, and Content in Connect.
After logging in for the first time, unit notifications do not appear until new updates are created in Connect.
Note: You cannot configure the notifications you receive in Brightspace Pulse.
To view notifications, tap the  Notifications tab.
Brightspace Pulse sends the following notification types:

  • Introductory updates - When you log in to Brightspace Pulse for the first time, introductory notifications appear. Each notification provides a tip on how Brightspace Pulse can keep you notified about the latest grades and Announcements for your units.
  • Created or updated unit content - To keep you informed about unit content, Brightspace Pulse sends notifications when unit content is created or updated in Connect. You can view new and updated content associated with a notification, viewing the content directly in Brightspace Pulse. This also applies to content where a due date has been associated with the item. To view the content, tap the update and then tap Open. If there is no file URL available, tap Open in browser, which opens the content in Connect.
  • Created or updated Unit Overview documents - When an instructor adds or updates the Unit Overview document in Connect, you receive notifications in Brightspace Pulse and the Connect minibar. In Connect, you can optionally choose to receive instant notifications via email when the Unit Overview document is updated.
  • Unit announcements - When an instructor wants to communicate changes to unit updates, information, and reminders via unit announcements, you receive a unit announcement in Brightspace Pulse.
  • Activity Feed - To help keep you up to date on unit activity, Brightspace Pulse displays Activity Feed notifications, if the Activity Feed widget is enabled in your enrolled units. For example, Brightspace Pulse sends notifications about Activity Feed messages and links to unit materials.
  • New grades - When an instructor enters grades in a grade book, you receive grade notifications in Brightspace Pulse. View grades in Brightspace Pulse by tapping the update and then swiping left to reveal the grade.
