Grades displaying "days late" messages for items from Assignments
When we have an "open date" and a "due date" set in Assignments, Grades is displaying a "days late" message for learners who have not submitted the assignment. This appears to be new this semester. When I contacted support I was told the only way to remove it was to turn off the due date, which we don't want to do. Has…

Multiple choice grading in Brightspace
how do I give 1 point to each student who answered either A or B (but not C or D)? A and B are both reasonably good answers. It see where it will let me give one point to all attempts, but if I want to give a point to those who answered, say, B (where they had not received credit before), will that remove a point from…

Availability of a leaderboard add-in?
I was able to add a leaderboard (based on total points earned) to my old Blackboard course but that 3rd party add-in (from another college prof who shared his work) is not compatible with Brightspace. The students really liked having the leaderboard that was automatically updated as students earned points. It was engaging…

How do I reliably add Sections to Groups for Lab Courses to manage due dates?
I have a client who is managing several lab courses, scores of sections with thousands of students across I'm not sure how many courses. The labs that meet on different days have different due dates. Right now they are handling this by managing Special Access and setting sue dates for each section. This is quite tedious as…

Has anyone successfully implemented compliance training within their "main" instance of Brightspace?

Is there a way to be notified or stop the submission of late quizzes? Currently I have students that submit quizzes late and the grade goes automatically to the gradebook over righting the zero grade that was there.
