These avenues offer courses and articles about accessibility to enhance accessibility knowledge and a group of accessibility enthusiasts to stay connected with.

In Course Admin-Manage Dates-Bulk Edit Dates the options under Start Dates and End Dates are Visible with access restricted before start Visible with submission restricted before start Hidden before start It seems that if I select Hidden before start, then a students would not SEE the item in the content before the start…

Is there a way to include attendance grades into a gradebook and to also be included in the final grading?

When creating an announcement in a course, the instructor doesn't see an option to send a copy to the students' email. How do you enable this? Or is it up to the student to enable that notification?

Currently we have 91 faculty members using the legacy Competencies tools. We have others who would like to use Outcomes. I was under the impression that you could only enable one or the other at an institution. I have also read that you can only enable one per org unit and it is not possible to use Outcomes with classic…

My college just adopted Creator + with H5P and I just got access. We have had no training on this technology and the videos I have found a video online don't seem basic enough and my Brightspace set-up seems different from the videos. I have been using SoftChalk to develop interactive content and now we have been asked to…

Why don't my Certificates appear in the Learner Awards Widget? Only Badges appear in the "Available Awards" tab. This is especially confusing since the Awards tool in the classroom shows both Certificates and Badges as available. In Brightspace, the term Awards seems to encompass both badges and certificates, but the…

Hello, Can there be a feature developed that allows us to still utilize the auto-publish feature, but flag/hold any assignments that are submitted late that require an instructor to manually publish?

As the subject says. I'm a new admin, and one of the rubrics that was attached to a course (the rubric predates my employment) was incorrect. The total points available from all items is lower than the scoring metrics. This wasn't discovered until the instructor had already input grades for some students. How can I either…

Hi folks, Does anyone know why I might be getting an internal error for one role type when they try to access a survey from the content? I'm using the new content experience. The role with the issue can view as learner and access the survey without issue. I have checked permissions and have the following set for 'Survey'…

Our students are each assigned a mentor who is responsible for their progress through the Brightspace course. The issue is that when the a mentor views their student's progress in the virtual classroom, i.e., grades, assignments, etc., they are also able to see ALL the other student's personal information, grades and…

I am looking for a more efficient way to track attendance in my class with 74 students. I heard that Poll Everywhere can be integrated with Brightspace to track attendance. Does anyone have experience using Poll Everywhere for this purpose? How do I get started? Thank you, Paul Jannace Adjunct Lecturer Baruch College

We have courses going back to 2015 and would like to be able to archive the majority of them. I know about the archive feature in the Courses tool, however, you are limited to 50 at a time. I've tried to archive a semester via the Org Unit Editor, but it requires that all the courses within that semester be archived first,…

Hi all, We're exploring ways to streamline course merges in Brightspace and are curious if anyone has successfully implemented a faculty self-service merge process that: Allows instructors to self-serve merges Enforces a controlled naming convention for merged courses Does not interfere with enrollment or grade pushback…

I need to obtain a list of all courses and their Brightspace id numbers but I cannot seem to find a way to do this.

When I upload a bunch of documents to a unit in Brightspace, the items all default to invisible to students. After the documents have been uploaded, I have to select each document one at a time and click the visibility toggle button for each uploaded file. Is is possible to automatically make items visible when they…

When I upload a batch of pdf documents, all of them are invisible to students (as can be seen in the attached screenshot). Is there a way to make them all visible at once rather than having to select each document one at a time and click the visibility button?

Hi All! We have a support team, and we'd like to allow them to create Sandbox courses only. Has anyone found a way to limit them to just creating courses in a specific Sandbox Department or Semester?

Hello, I am trying to isolate the max score for rubric at the rubric criteria level. I initially grabbed the max 'value' from the 'RubricCriteriaLevels' dataset (grouped by criterionID), but when I joined that to RubricAssessmentCriteria, I found that some assessed criteria did not exist in the RubricCriteriaLevels table…

Is there a way to move files and/or rename folders in Manage Files without breaking links on content pages?
