Communicate - Engage with Your Students

We would like to give some staff access to only the class progress of certain students. What is the best way to accomplish this?

Hi everyone, Our product team regularly makes decisions about Brightspace configuration, features, and rollouts—but we've realized we're often doing this without systematic input from the people who use the platform every day: our faculty and students. We're planning to establish user panels or feedback groups to get…

I want to use the "@ mention" function within Forums and Discussions to tag a specific student. How can I do this, I've tried using the @ symbol but i do not get a list showing me the names of students when I do so…

Some of our instructors are concerned that students are using the calendar widget links to coursework to bypass Content modules and look at readings. Is there a way to prevent this while still using the Calendar widget or some other good replacement for that widget?

Hola: Quisiera hacer una consulta sobre la lista de correos que aparece en la sección enviados; actualmente salen todos los correos enviados, pero quiero saber si es posible que salgan los correos que un profesor ha mandado por programa o por edición y no todos los que ha mandado en el historial. ¿Esto se puede lograr con…

I am here to schedule a Zoom meeting with a student for an online class. As a first-time user, I am required to post a question. Thank you.

When an email is sent from an Announcement, is it possible to have only the subject topic listed, and not the course name?

Good afternoon I am trying to catch up with the school. I need to know if we are meeting with the peers and the structure.

I’m wondering if there is currently any way in Brightspace for an instructor to create a calendar event once and apply it across multiple active course offerings simultaneously. As an example, one of our instructors currently has 10 active course shells and would like to add items such as: stat holidays/college closures…

There are a few things that we would like to constantly remind students of, without having to repeatedly send out blast emails. Is it possible to create a set of announcements and somehow have Brightspace rotate through them automaticaly? Or is there some kind of banner space like a billboard?

Hi all! I'm wanting to know if it is possible for an email to be generated and sent to learners upon quiz submission? I was hoping to achieve this through intelligent agents, whereby the agent was enabled (with no frequency) and the criteria was completion of said quiz. The idea of having no frequency set was in the hopes…

We would like to use the institutional calendar to highlight different events for specific groups, such as showing student events only to students, or workshop opportunities to faculty. It doesn't look like there's a way to restrict individual events in the main institution calendar. Is there any other way that we might be…

I can see how to run an intelligent agent to determine activity in various parts of Brightspace but cannot see how to view how many students have read an announcement?

How do you turn a published announcement back to draft, so students cannot see it? I don't want to delete the announcement, but am unsure on what day I want to publish it, so I just want to keep it as a draft. Is this possible?

Is it possible for students to easily email their teacher from Brightspace, but we don't want to show the Classlist to students? How can we achieve this? Thanks for your answer. Regards, Heleen

The Welcome Window Widget is good for courses, but the information in the documentation says that is can also be used form the organization. It has organization settings. All the directions however, do NOT show how to set it up to work on the Organization Home page. All the directions show is how to use it only within a…

Hi there, I am trying to set up an intelligent agent to email students with a reminder by a certain date if they have not earned a specific award. Release conditions offer no option for this, only an Award Earned option. Is there any plan to make Award Not Earned available as a release condition in upcoming releases? Or is…

I’m new to this. Being trying to figure out this discussion board for the longest.

I've completed my assignments and I was unsuccessful in attaching them, who can I reach out to, to see about adjusting grades?
