Academic year transition
The information listed below will guide you through the set-up of your course for the new academic year and help you to finalise it more effectively.
The content below has not been copied for all faculties:
- The course content of last year’s course has not been copied if your course belongs to the following faculties:
- Applied Sciences;
- Architecture and the Built Environment;
- Industrial Design Engineering.
- If you belong to one of these faculties and used Möbius, Grasple or Ans last year, we have already copied content for you. Make sure you read the information on Möbius and Ans for this academic year, if you wish to stay up to date.
- For information on how to copy course content yourself, please view the how-to-copy content page. If the content was copied to your course by accident, please contact Teaching & Learning Support.
-
If your course received a course copy, all course content from last year was copied except for the elements listed below.
This content is NOT copied:
- Texts added to "Overview", it is not possible to copy this automatically. If you wish to display a text there, you can simply copy-paste it from the old to the new course.
- When the "Overview" section is left empty, this feature will not show up for students.
- Announcements.
- Student data, such as enrollments, grades and submitted quizzes, surveys and assignments.
- Instructors and Course Managers.
- All links to Möbius, Grasple or Ans homework, including any grade items associated with these.
-
- All courses contain the standard Course Information structure.
- Each section within Course Information contains a link that loads information directly from the StudyGuide. Updates to the StudyGuide need to be made when information is incorrect.
- Any information added to Course Information in your old course, has been copied to your new course and this information has been set to ‘hidden’.
- It is possible to add specific information in each sub-module of Course Information, and Templates were created to make this easier.
-
All courses are set to inactive by default. Inactive courses do not show in the Course Catalog and are not available for self-enrollment.
All modules within your course, except the Course Information module, have been set to "Hidden". This gives you the chance to review, correct and change content before giving students access to your course.
Please check the following items in your course:
- Course Information module (when information is incorrect, please follow these instructions).
- Content, Discussion Forums, Assignments.
- Any (direct) links in your content. This can be links to websites, internal links to Assignments, links to files stored in Course files, links from Assignments to Grade items, etc.
- Gradebook and Rubrics.
- Request access to any External Learning Tools that you will use this year and are not yet available in your course.
- Check any dates that might be set on Release Conditions in Content, Assignments, Quizzes, etc. You can also use the Manage Dates Tool to do this. Please see the Manage Dates support page for more information.
- Connect all (new) Möbius homework (see more information on Mobius below).
If your course received a course copy, all course content from last year was copied except for the elements listed below.
To finalise your course:
- Change content meant for students from Draft to Published.
- Activate your course so it becomes visible for students in the Course Catalog.
- Most courses, except for those of the faculty of IDE, are listed in the Course Catalog for self-enrollment. If you wish to have different settings, please contact Teaching & Learning Support.
- Course Managers can add other Course Managers or Instructors.

Ans has won the digital assessment tender and will be the TU Delfts’ assessment system for the upcoming years. Möbius is no longer available in Brightspace courses.
For more information for requesting an Ans course and Question bank, please visit the Ans support page.
If you used Möbius last year, all old Möbius links were removed from your new Brightspace course including any grade items it was associated with. Additionally, a new course for the upcoming year will be created in Ans, as well as a question bank (this is only possible if you don't already have one).
Lectures who had a question bank in Möbius, would have been informed by the Ans project team to migrate their questions to Ans.
Please contact Digital Exams (digitalexams@tudelft.nl) or Teaching Support (Teaching-Support@tudelft.nl) if your Möbius question bank has not yet been migrated to Ans.
