Requesting a Sandbox

Those who are teaching or directly supporting academic courses can request a sandbox in OWL Brightspace!


What is a sandbox?

A sandbox is a personal course that can be used for testing, experimentation, and exploration of the tools and features available in OWL Brightspace. A sandbox is not meant to host and deliver course content.

Who can request a sandbox?

Instructors and anyone who supports an academic course (ex. grade admins, course coordinators, course admins, instructional designers, TAs, etc.) can request a personal sandbox in OWL Brightspace. A sandbox can only be requested once.


When will I get my sandbox?

Your personal sandbox will be available approximately one week after it is requested. Sandboxes are released every Friday. When your sandbox is ready, you will receive a confirmation email that includes access, support, and training information.


Why should I request a sandbox?

Requesting a sandbox will jumpstart your experience with OWL Brightspace so you can engage with Self-Guided Instructor Training resources and familiarize yourself with the learning management system (LMS) before your courses are migrated.
