How do I embed self-assessments into student Portfolios?
I am an instructional coach in Ontario, Canada. We are just starting to use the Portfolio feature in secondary schools in our board.

Assignments not synching to gradebook
Hello, Even though I have assignments marked "In Grade Book," the assignments are not showing in the Grade Book. Do I still have to manually enter the assignments in the grade book? Or will this create duplicates? Thank you!

Exporting Discussion Post
Hello, We have some users that would like to export Discussion Post. They would like the export to include the context of the discussion post, and the replies of the students. In addition, they would like the author's and student's names to remain anonymous. Is this possible? I did not see a way of doing this. Thank you.

Video assignments and grade Mastery View
We have a Video Assignment linked to multiple standards. When viewing Grades in Mastery View the standards linked to the video assignment don't appear at all. Is this because unlike regular Assignments, Video Assignments can be linked to the course's standards coverage, but can only be marked using a rubric? Is there a way…

reassessment of assignments
Hello, I wonder how to best set up re-assessment of student work for assignments they failed. If I create another assignment, the previous grade in the grade book seems to be still counted towards their final grade. What is the best solution here? I can't seem to find any information on how to set these up.

Students only see a colour (not percentage) when viewing their attempt grade.
I've attached a screenshot of a quiz grade in student view that only shows a coloured dot to indicate the grade was in the 90-100% range. I want it to also show the exact percentage they earned. All questions are auto-graded and the correct percentage does appear in my grade book in teacher view. It's just that the…

Why are my quiz grades publishing as only a colour code instead of a percentage?
I copied by quizzes over from last year and never had this issue. I set them to automatically mark and publish the grade for a student to see immediately. This year, they are not publishing a percentage grade, only a coloured box/dot that is a vague indicator of how well they did (Red/orange=below 70, Yellow=70-80,…

Exempt Grade from main "Enter Grade" screen
Right now, if I want to exempt a student from an assignment, I have to go Grades Tool → Specific Assignment → Enter Grades → Select Student (checkbox) → Select Exempt (at top). That may make sense if I'm manually grading assignments, but I get a lot of assignments automatically passed from publisher sites or such, so the…

Student submissions to assignment folder with " " or __ in file name will not open
We had a bunch of students submit to an assignment folder and they used quotation marks in the file name. None of these files would open for the teacher so she could use the annotation tool. We ended up downloading and uploading all of the files again. We've also seen this with underscore at the start of a file name. Any…

Copying Awards/Certificates across courses or other Brightspace instances
The course import/export/copy tool does not support copying Awards. Does anyone know of another way to replicate Awards across courses or to another Brightspace instance without having to manually recreate all of them?

Are content views via Pulse tracked?
Hi, if a student views content (topics) via the Pulse app, are these tracked as Content views? I recall that some years ago they weren't, I think this was fixed but can't find any reference to it. Many thanks, Tim

Is is possible to have students draw simple graphs in a Brightspace quiz?
Hello, I'm asking this question on behalf of an economics professor. He would like his students draw simple line graphs as part of a quiz. I don't expect machine grading, just the ability to draw and submit simple line graphs. The best solution I have come up with so far is to insert a written response question and allow…

Giving a zero score using a rubric
Hello! I have an instructor that is trying to use rubrics in Brightspace, but can't find a way to give a grade of zero when the student doesn't meet any of the criteria or doesn't turn anything in. Does anyone have experience with this? Interestingly - I posed this question to Google's AI tool - Bard. Here's the solution I…
