Re: Quick Eval is showing the users that are not even learners or participants? Please fix ASAP. thanks
@Syed.Zaidi773 That is normal behavior. The Quick Eval widget on the homepage always just shows the list of activities in the course.

Hello @Syed.Zaidi773 Can you please check in Roles and Permissions if these cascading roles have "See and Submit Files to Assignment Submission Folders".
This permission should be only for roles like learners who are supposed to submit files. Let me know if that helps.
Thanks

Re: Community Feedback🗨️
@Janet.Osborne3295, To make sure there's no confusion going forward, I'm going to add the following note to the High Impact Changes Timeline (to go live on May 4):
Note: To determine the date when an update is scheduled based on the version number, you can also read the version as a year and month. For example: 20.22.11 (year = 2022, month = 11/November) or 20.23.5 (year = 2023, month = 5/May).
Re: Exporting class progress
Hi Steve,
Thanks for reaching us through the Brightspace Community!
Unfortunately it's currently not possible to export Class Progress. The following PIE has been submitted: Ability to export user or class progress information (D1350).
There are also two existing PIE Items that addresses the option of seeing more than 50 users at a time: Ability to show all students in Class Progress (D10063) and (D7334)
Please visit these enhancement ideas, upvote and comment.
Thanks!
Janet
Re: Is it worthwhile to turn off the student view experience so matches faculty view?
I totally get it. We constantly have new instructors who have never used Brightspace before, so they may not realize that there is a clear difference from what they see to what the student sees. At the same time, it can be very helpful to have tips, tricks, and reminders posted on Brightspace Instructor View for those new instructors as a guide. During pre-term prep, we often post a checklist for admin & instructors in the announcements area of each course. This is hidden from students and instructors/admin are expected to "edit" this annoucement with checks & notes as the complete each task.
Re: How can we enable letter grades rather than points in Assignments?
I don't think you can change from points within each tool. Only percentages are sent to the gradebook from each tool, so it needs to be based on points earned/maximum points possible.
You just have to create a scheme in the gradebook that will change the calculated percentage to whatever you specified, but that will only show in the gradebook.
Unable to open the Discussions list
I am unable to open the Discussions list in my course when using Chrome and Edge on my personal desktop. It still opens correctly in Firefox, and it opens correctly in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox on my laptop. What could be causing the problem on my desktop? I have the latest browser updates, cleared the browser history, closed other tabs, turned off all extensions, reset the browser settings, turned off my VPN, rebooted… all to no avail. The discussions list was working fine and accessible up until a couple of weeks ago. Something changed but I cannot identify what changed or the cause of the problem.
See the graphic imaget for a screenshot that I get after waiting for the discussions page to load.
Any ideas, suggestions, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Re: Unable to open the Discussions list
Thanks for your suggestion, Dmitry. The Chrome/Edge browsers are up to date. Don't really want to go to un/install them at this point. But if I don't get other suggestions, I'll have to do that.
The discussions list page is the only one that does not load. Everything else in the course site works/loads. Is it possible there are too many discussions so the page (memory?) is overloaded? The discussions include graphics and videos.

Re: What are you using for course evaluations?
We were using the Course Surveys & Evaluations tool by Watermark and just signed a contract with Qualtrics Course Evaluations, since we've had a long standing relationship with them as our survey tool provider. Haven't implemented it yet though, should be done in the next month or so.
