0-4 Grading Schemes
We have several large departments that are using and want to use a 0-4 style grading scheme (Based on the book Grading For Equity).

How do I make the display fit a now-standard widescreen monitor?
The Brightspace screen only covers about the center 60% of my laptop screen or monitor, leaving blank swaths on the right and left as if it were created for a squarish screen from the 1990s. I have not yet found the right setting to change that to fit today's screens, which are all wider than they are tall. This is a…

My students and I find the checklist far more useful than the content area. The students can check off in the checklist when they have completed an assignment. I know that manual check-off is available in content, but then conditional release does not work. Any suggestions?
