A bold, structured design with a maroon header and clean gray content panels. This style works well for courses that need a strong visual identity without sacrificing readability.
Best for: Traditional, formal, professional, or high-contrast course designs.
A casual notepaper-inspired design with denim blue, warm paper tones, and sage accents. It keeps the personality of the older notepaper style while using a cleaner modern layout.
Best for: Reflective, writing-heavy, humanities, communication, or student-centered courses.
A warm desk-and-paper inspired design with brown, cream, and muted green accents. This version feels familiar and approachable while keeping the content organized.
Best for: Courses that benefit from a warm, journal-like, or study-desk feel.
A light, calm, blue-forward design with subtle pinstripe-inspired styling. This option is clean, modern, and easy to read.
Best for: General-purpose courses, online modules, and faculty who want a simple professional look.
A polished institutional blue design inspired by the older Ordinary Blue template. It uses ECC blue, deep blue headings, and a careful orange accent.
Best for: Faculty who want the most ECC-aligned, classic, and broadly usable style.
A contemporary card-based design with a gradient ECC blue hero, gold accents, rounded content sections, and a top time-frame card for quick module pacing.
Best for: Faculty who want a polished, modern, visually organized guide that feels distinct from the classic ECC blue template.
Distance Learning Support can help you choose a template, load it into your Brightspace course, or adapt a module guide for your course structure.
