Bridge LMS

You can find a variety of training topics in Bridge, the university's learning management system for employees. Any employee with an active NUID can utilize Bridge. When you first log (nebraska.bridgeapp.com), you will see three primary menus.

  • My Learning - this page mainly provides access required or compliance training that has been assigned to you, courses you have enrolled in but not completed, and completed training.
  • Learning Library - used to search for and find optional content based on various categories/interests.
  • Training Calendar - is primarily a representation of upcoming live training opportunities (including virtual events). 

You can use the Search bar at the top of all three areas to look for a topic or training. You can also find relevant items by filtering results using Filter by and the Tags to the right of the Search bar. 

Try this out by opening Bridge and search for "Introduction to Bridge for learners" and enroll. It will guide you through using the application.
