Re: Rubric Edits
Hello @alaina.s.2924 , thank you for your question.
If you import a rubric into another course, and this rubric is not shared or has not been used to grade any students yet, you are able to edit the criteria of that rubric.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Re: What suggestions do you have for a Brightspace Kickoff event?
At North East Scotland College we had a training day for our staff that was all things Brightspace. We had training on the site with Badges and a certificate and encouraged teams to get competitive with each other to be the first in their curriculum team to complete the training. We then created a summary to thank staff for joining us on the day. https://www.canva.com/design/DAF7kED7Pro/P89IBqkCfIi7RL8lAtd1qA/watch?utm_content=DAF7kED7Pro&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=editor
We also had our Student portal move from MyDay to Brightspace and in partnership with our student presidents to introduce the new student information portal we created a Scavenger hunt with QR codes that took the students to the pages and gave them an award (Badge) for completing the scavenger hunt. These might not be appropriate but some ideas to help you get started.
Re: NCE and items expired
Hi Richard, I think you might be having similar issues a lot of our staff have in that the links in the content area and the actual tools (quizzes/disucssions etc.) have separate visibiulity options.
I think the easist way to think of it is in Content > thats the link to the Tool and in the named tool area e.g. Quizzes that's the actual item. If the Item E.g. Quiz is visible then it doesn't matter if the content link is visible or not and vice versa.

What suggestions do you have for a Brightspace Kickoff event?
Our College recently signed a contract to make Brightspace our new LMS. I'm looking for ideas for what to do at a kickoff event to help get our faculty excited about the transition to Brightspace as we embark on this new adventure Did you have a similar event at your institution?
Re: Grading is very slow in Brightspace
Hi @Regina.J.1448 — I'm not sure what the above user is talking about. I completely agree with you. Quick Eval is very time consuming.
I use Quick Eval and it is SLOOOOOOOOOOW. So many clicks. So much time wasted. So long waiting for files to load. It doesn't auto-save.
Brightspace, if you're reading this — all teachers want is one tool that quickly moves through all the courses we teach. We just want to mark and mark fast. I don't want to go 'back' to the Quick Eval every time (EVERY TIME!!!) I need to mark a single assignment. Just give me a non-stop carousel of things that need to be marked. I don't care what course they're in. I just need to mark so I can have work/life balance. THIS is what teachers want.
Our school was mandated to use Brightspace by the provincial government. I hope they got a deal because WOW — not an intuitive system. So clicky. So time consuming.
I am also neurodivergent, so this platform is extra frustrating for me (and all the neurodivergent kids I teach…and their families…they are all frustrated with Brightspace).
Grading is very slow in Brightspace
Why don't the documents automatically appear when the grading view pops up, then there's 1 click to submit grades or better yet, why can't i just hit the enter key, and then the next student's submission automatically appears without me having to click next?
Is there a better, faster, more stream-lined way to grade in Brightspace? If so, please tell me.
