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…

Downloading marked rubrics and inline comments + marking PowerPoint presentations
I have a few questions with this query. I have an academic who didn't know about setting up groups for group assignments. So only one student in a group is submitting. This means the other students in the group will not see any feedback or the marked rubric. We do have a solution but to make it less cumbersome, I told her…

How do I create a quiz with 8 out of 10 questions to choose from?
I have an academic who has 10 long answer questions and students only need to choose 8. One option is creating an assignment but there is a strict time limit. Another option is a quiz but not sure if bonus questions is the only option? It is tricky because it is a final exam tied to the gradebook so possible marks need to…

Unable to Automatically Regrade Arithmetic Question
I believe I already know the answer but it helps to receive confirmation. The following is hypothetical but based almost completely on what just happened in my course. Let's say I created a quiz with an arithmetic question. Students are given the weekend to complete it. Halfway through the weekend I discover that there is…

How can I change the submission receipt email template?
I would like to modify the submission receipt email template. Is it possible to make changes to it? Additionally, is there a way to bulk add or edit assignment email notifications? If a course has 50 assignments, it takes a lot of time to edit each one individually to add or remove notifications.

Cycle through assignments to grade
I'm frustrated in being unable to simply look at an assignment and read and grade all submissions by cycling through them. For example, I choose one, read and grade, click next ungraded, read and grade, etc. The only way to do this is to either go to (1) quick eval where I have to see the assignment, grade, click back,…

Why is 'select evaluators' not available in my assignment?
By all accounts I should be able to select evaluators for an assignment, but it's light blue and cannot be clicked. I have 7 evaluators to choose from (Instructors & TAs for a merged course of multiple sections). The settings for this assignment are as such: Available and unlimited file submission and all are kept. Any one…

Formulas and activities that do not count in the final grade
I have a series of 6 quizzes in a course. The quiz scores themselves do not count into the course's final grade. However, if students earn over 70% per quiz on all six quizzes, they get a single excellence point in a numeric grade item (filled manually). I have a formula-grade item set up to count this. When I manually add…

Can auto-save (to draft) be an option for evaluations?
On several occasions, due to accidental keystrokes, session timeouts, OS crashes, and multi-tasking forgetfulness, I have lost progress because I failed to frequently click Save Draft in the process of reviewing/annotating feedback on student submissions. Other apps of this nature auto save things to prevent loss of…

Grade item different points value to MCQ
Hi there, just looking for some clarity on the following: Am I right in thinking that if I have a quiz out of 20 points and the associated grade item is out ofo 5 points that Brightspace will proportionally scale the MCQ results to the grade item? So for example: If a student gets 18 / 20 on the quiz — > Brightspace will…

As a TA, I have the responsibility of grading the last 20 or so students in the course. When going to Activities > Assignments > selecting the assignment > I have to press next (with the arrows) all the way to the student I have to start grading from in order to grade and then click next to the arrow. There should be a…

Students uploading "unusual" assignment file types
Greetings! I teach an introductory stats class and have introduced my students to an open-source application called JASP. That platform can create files in a .JASP format. In the past, I have asked students to upload file formats like .doc and .pdf, but this is a new file format for me. I'd like for my students to be able…

Download/export list of students with special access
Do you know how a coordinator can download a list of students who have been given special access. I have one coordinator with multiple cohorts and markers, and she has been trying to do the right thing entering special access for all students - even 7 day extensions. She also has a few with much longer extensions. Until…

Assignment Text Annotations not saving
We are seeing an issue where we try to edit text annotations with typos and the the edit is not saving. After the change has been made, it seems to revert to the original version with a typo. According to a Brightspace Community post, I saw that this was fixed in July 2024, but this is still happening.
