Evaluate - Assess Student Learning

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…

Is there any discussion about creating a quiz question that could have excel/spreadsheet capability. We used to in our old LMS be able to link to onedrive restricting the student by username to individual excel files but we’ve lost this in brightspace.

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…

Why are my students not able to see their point total and percentage?

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…

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.

An instructor created the following short answer question. I believe the instructor used the following regular expression. Why does the feedback to show forward slashes? I believe the student can either enter Root-cause or root-cause.

Is there a way for to automate dropping the lowest grade in the gradebook? I found an article where you can go into the individual user and manually find the lowest grade and drop it, but I want to see if there is a way that Brightspace can find the lowest grade and automatically drop it. So for example, it may drop quiz 1…

Even though I check can exceed in assignment rules , it will not add those extra points into the final grade total. Never had this happen before.

Using another LMS, I had a URL which would quickly list all ungraded submissions and I could sort and cycle through them to grade al ungraded submissions easily. I can't find any easy way to do this in BrightSpace. I have to go to Assignments, Advanced Search, then manually check 'unread submissions' (which is not the same…

How do I copy rubrics from Blackboard?

For a quiz in Brightspace, is it possible to view all student submissions for a single question on one page? This was something the Grade Centre in Blackboard Original could do and was very convenient for grading essay questions in a consistent and more efficient manner. I haven't found similar functionality in…

I have link the self assessments to an assignment and I know that students have submitted the work but I am seeing no submissions.

This is our first semester using BrightSpace. We have Zoom available to us to use as a meeting application. I'd like to be able to have a report or keep track of who logged into the class (attendance) and, very importantly, periodically use polls for students to answer questions and keep track of who answers the…

I have entered grades in the spreadsheet for all the Discussion weeks but students can only see the final grade in percentage

We have 11 discussion topics for an Assessment. Students are only required to choose 6 out of the 11. The 6 items should be reflected in gradebook. How do we set the gradebook to reflect this as students may choose a random 6 topics. Some students will do 8, not 6 but only their best 6 will count. Others will only do 4. Is…

Hi, We are trying to build a dashboard in PowerBI, that shows which of our Learners have met or not met the outcomes on a course. However we are struggling to work out which datasets show which usersIDs have met each outcome. Does anyone know which dataset this is?

In the assessment page's Availability Dates & Conditions sidebar, under Special Access, the user summary now shows "No users" with a red error icon. Up until recently, this would show an accurate count of users who have been granted special access (eg. "138 users")." This seems to be a recently-introduced bug.

Hello, I’m teaching a course with four sections, and I’ve set up a quiz in Brightspace that is limited to one attempt per student. The feedback settings are configured to release all questions and correct answers after the quiz. I want students to review their mistakes. However, I need to ensure that students cannot go…
