Re: How do you setup quizzes that require mathematical calculations?
It is only a matter of time until an AI tool can effectively convert any handwritten math equations to typeset math equations. Mathpix is close
Right now most AI tools are focusing on the big items, but the programs that will fill all the niches are coming soon.

Re: Brightspace Data Sets Updates
@Claire.D.2, The removal of LastAccessed, FirstLoginDate from the Users BDS in Version 10 is really bad news for my institutions. The goal of eliminating 'redundancy with datasets around user logins and sessions' is appreciated, but those other data sets do not cover all use cases (primarily historical information or quick validation). The inclusion of 'LastAccessed' in July 2020 was a great benefit, that is now being removed. How can we ensure those high-value columns stay in place?
Re: Tracking students' quiz progress by referring to the orange notifications on the Grades page?
Re: LMS Admin Question > Course Sections
Hello @Michael.H.932, thank you for reaching out! I believe that in Brightspace, using course sections isn't strictly required if enrolling directly into the course offering. However, sections are typically used to organize students into distinct groups, which can be helpful for managing communications, assessments, and group-specific content.
I could link you to below documentation/articles:
I hope I was able to answer your question!

Re: When assessing a discussion topic, does the evaluation screen show replies to other students?
Thanks so much @Daiana.A.638 and @Krizzy.S.9720 for your helpful responses!
Re: Tracking students' quiz progress by referring to the orange notifications on the Grades page?
Hi Nik, thanks for the update. We look forward to the rectification.
Re: Would the system crash?
Hi, @Holly.A.103 !
This is an important question! The answer is no. While you might be confident that Brightspace can handle your needs, the increased usage of your LMS requires proactive steps. You must reach out to your Customer Success Manager (CSM) to inform them of your plans. I strongly suggest creating a shared calendar that includes all your exam periods. Your CSM will then ensure that a note is posted in your CORE systems to facilitate proper coordination.
Re: Creating a video submission assignment with special requirements
Hello @Holly.A.103 thank you for your question.
I have confirmed that we currently do not have a way to disable the re-recording option. While on the submission page, students can re-record as many times as they like, with only the last recording being saved when the assignment is submitted.
We do not keep logs of previous video attempts, as only the final recording is stored with the assignment.
I believe our team has already responded to your question about multiple students recording videos simultaneously in another inquiry you submitted.
Please let me know if you have any other questions related to this.
Thanks,
Daiana
