Creating New Sandpit Spaces

As a VU staff member, you automatically have access to your personal Sandpit which is an online area for you to explore, learn and create in VU Collaborate. You can create additional Sandpits (up to 5), to facilitate designing content for multiple units or subjects, by following the steps below.

Sandpits are not used for delivery with students; all content you intend to use for delivery will need to be copied to a Master Space at least two weeks before the beginning of the teaching period.
