Specifically what I am proposing is to have a course evaluation survey copied to every course by Super Admin. This survey is not editable by the faculty of the course, and can be completed by all students enrolled in the course with the results sent to an appropriate dean or program chair. Is this possible? Is there a…

Can I preview a quiz as student to confirm that it's available and working?
Students are emailing me telling me they cannot see the quiz. I review the quiz and notice that it's hidden. That makes sense, because I was working on this quiz and forgot to unhie it. But now I want to make sure that it's actually available and working for the students. How do I do that? When I preview as student there…

Recording lenght limit?
Hello Is there a way to limit the length of a recording a student can record and send inside a quiz? I'm trying to get my students to send their responses in audio format, but I can't find a way to set up the length. I don't want them to ramble, so I need to set up a max time. Do you know if this could be done at the admin…

Can we hide inline feedback until the evaluation is published?
I just learned that students can see inline feedback even if the evaluation was saved, not published. This is a problem, as I start evaluating before the due date to get ahead of the process, and I do not want students resubmitting (if they want formative feedback, they have to expressly ask for it in class, and I do it…

Can a Dropbox folder be shared between two course shells?
Is it possible to associate a single Dropbox folder with two different course shells? For example, if we created a centralized “Practicum Records” course shell with all students enrolled, could a Dropbox in an individual course automatically feed submissions into the centralized shell as well? In other words, can student…

Bonus points for a pool
I have extra credit material for my students to review, and I have created question-pools out of that material, as I do not want all my students to have the same extra credit question. But I find that Brightspace will not allow me to make the questions in a pool for Bonus. Does anyone have a solution for that ? That is, is…

Students within a group given the same grade: Want students to have individual grades
An instructor created a group assignment in which each student submitted their own individual work. However, when she graded the submissions, Brightspace automatically applied the same grade to all members of each group. She now needs to assign individual grades to each student. To overwrite the auto‑applied group grades,…

How to quickly identify ungraded quiz questions?
I have a large number of quizzes in my course. Many of these quizzes include at last one written response question. It seems that the only way to identify ungraded responses to these questions is to: open the grading page for the quiz (by clicking the chevron menu next to the quiz name and then clicking Grade) click…

More detailed view of checklist progress for Instructors?
One of our faculty would like to replace a paper-based checklist-type assessment (it currently looks kind of like a rubric) and would like to adapt it for Brightspace using the Checklist tool. We believe we can adapt the checklist to suit the purpose but would like to know if Instructor users can have a more granular view…

How to setup Non-Numeric Grade Schemes & Rubric Alignment?
I am working with an instructor who would like a completely non-numeric Pass/Fail workflow. I am looking into two specific areas and wanted to check if there are any known workarounds.
