Getting Started with Brisk Next

Updated

With Brisk Next, you can get personalized activity recommendations, tailor them to your classroom, and organize multiple resources into ready-to-assign collections.

Please note that Brisk Next is still in Beta! That means that you may notice changes frequently as we improve and expand the feature, and occasionally you may encounter a bug. We will do our best to keep this document up to date as changes are made.
