I want to add some context rather than have it as a standalone item. With the old method of uploading SCORM there were workarounds to use an iframe tag to embed the index.html file, but the…

Clicks to get to grading
Anyone know the fastest/easiest way to get to the grading in your course? Right now I feel like I have to click and click and dig to get to where I can actually give feedback on a quiz or an assignment. I am new to this so I'm sure there is a better/faster way to get to the grading. Your help is appreciated.

Why is the Accessibility checker not ignoring an element?
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…

Discover Tool - What do you call it?
Hello, Out of curiosity what do other organisations call the "discover" tool on the nav bars. We are using this for optional modules that our users can self enroll onto, any mandatory courses we enroll them. Calling it "Discover" seems misleading and to me sounds like a search to find either all your courses you have, or…

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…
