The Accessibility category serves as a single point of access to three avenues in Brightspace Community leading to the Accessibility Academy, Accessibility Library and Accessibility Discussions. These avenues offer courses and articles about accessibility to enhance accessibility knowledge and a group of accessibility enthusiasts to stay connected with.

Are there any plans to update the Accommodations feature so that other coursework besides quizzes can be modified for students? For example, could there be an option that a student gets extra days for an assignment or discussion? We have had several faculty request this, and it would be a big time saver for them.…

Hi all, My team wants to create different paths that students can take within a single course based on their area of interest. For instance we have a School Supervisor course. The base content covers basic principles of supervision then each module splits into 2 paths: supervisors of teachers and supervisors of…

Hi, A question related to the Language Management tool. Is it possible to turn the 'submission id' into a link in the template of the 'Notification email - Assignment submission complete'? So that lecturers will be able to open the specific assignment directly from the notification email? Hope to hear from you. Thanks in…

Has anyone experienced a delay when an instructor released grades? I have run into the issue twice this semester. I know one instructor was experiencing latency issues, and the other instructor was on her personal laptop (I'm thinking maybe it needed an OS update, a browser update, or maybe they were using Edge. If anyone…

Can I upload a students paper for originality as an instructor?

Quick Eval Activities is not showing an assignment that students have submitted. Although the assignment appears under submissions. I looked into the 3 dots on Quick Eval for dismissed activities, but there were only two activities that are listed (not the activity listed on the submission page). Currently I am using the…

We are troubleshooting a gradebook issue tied to a third-party LTI (FlatWorld) after multiple course copies/imports due to issues with course material/book, and I’m hoping to confirm the best cleanup approach without impacting existing student grades. Situation: • The original LTI links worked correctly in a previous term.…

I cannot find videos that will show me how to modify documents. When my course was moved to Brightspace, several handouts became PDFs and I can't seem to be able to replace them with new content. Where are videos?

We have had a number of students frustrated when trying to find course resources. They have requested a search function within the course to enable them to search for resources, documents etc. Is this a possibility? I can't find anything to suggest it is.

Hi there, We have a quiz that is in progress. One question requires a numerical value and the acceptable range is too narrow. We want to increase the range to +/- 50000. If we edit the live quiz it will create a new version of the question that will only be available to those that have not already started the quiz. When we…

How do I upload a new version of a scorm file?

Why would the following be happening. The module shows as being completed, the SCORM has the checkmark beside it as well, but then it shows as the SCORM was never visited. The release conditions on this course are for all the SCORMS to be visited, so it's not releasing for this learner. I've noticed this a few other times…

Hi, I am trying to make an API request to fetch attendance of the students for a particular course for a specific date / or for a specific date range. I searched through the API documentation and the github repository to get the proper endpoints and the payload (if required) but I am unable to get any information for my…

Help! I'm helping a math instructor who uses graphs like this: With parabolas that have x & y intercepts, a vertex and axis of symmetry, all in different colors! Anyone have any ideas on how to make this graph accessible?

The NavBar for all teachers in my organization has disappeared; not from their individual courses, but from the main page. They like the "Quick Eval" button, which does not show up anymore at the top (in NavBar) but it does show up as a widget below. The teachers would like it placed back up, as a NavBar. Thank you Tiana…

Where is the Navbar?

Basically, same request as this one but with a link, rather than a page- I want 1 link to manage, appearing in multiple modules. While I'm at it, maybe should be a separate question, but what is the point of the links created in the Course Admin>Links tool discussed here in the guide? It says we can use these links in the…

I'm wondering if its possible to have 2 separate Brightspace Environments connected to Teams via the MS Teams Course Connector, using 2 separate Shufflelabs accounts? We have our Primary environment and a Continuing Ed environment, both with Course Connector capability. We already have our Primary connected to Teams,…

Are you able to change the settings of an H5P interactive into being a gradeable item after it was inserted into the page? Or would you have to create the interactive again and ensure that "Add grade item" is selected?
