What is a Sandbox and how can I use it?
Every instructor has their own Sandbox course. This is a risk free environment in which instructors can experiment within Brightspace. You have access to all the necessary functionalities, with absolutely none of what you doing in it being shared with anyone. Your Sandbox is private: only you, and any colleagues or users you have enrolled, can view its contents.

Using the Sandbox is a good way to familiarise yourself with Brightspace. For example, you can experiment with:
- arranging and presenting your content
- trying out things to see what they look like (trial and (risk free) error)
- creating new tests for students and discovering ways to improve interaction with students
- prepare a course in and export it to a public course when it is finished and satisfactory
