Hello, I have a professor who created a packaged OER textbook and shares it via the HTML pages on Brightspace. The issue is that when he is using the Accessibility Checker, it flags the figure caption for not having enough contrast since it's light gray. Here's the code he's using: <figure><img…

Start dates and calendar events
We have an educator who is setting start dates for making lecture content available to cut down on manual work (making things visible later on). However, this is now creating calendar events that are likely to confuse students. They may think the lecture is on that date, when it is just content being released. We would…

Tips and Tricks
Hi - I am looking for any tips or tricks that might help me with classroom management, announcements, etc. I recently found out that if i include {FIRSTNAME} in my announcements, the student will see themselves personally addressed in the announcement.

Embed SCORM in an HTML page
Hi all I may be missing something obvious - is there a way to embed a SCORM package within a page with the new SCORM upload method?

Accessibility report animation
I am typing a description for a module. As I type, the 'accessibility monitor' animates, like a speedometer. it is distracting. How can i turn this off? Also, a frowny face emoji consistently shows up next to a document I have scanned in as a resource for students. This is distracting (and, kind-of rude, towards me). How…
