As we are preparing to sunset Blackboard Learn 9.1 at the end of the spring '26 semester, we have migrated a number of courses to Brightspace. One of our instructors is seeking a method to export her quiz questions to a CSV file. She intends to use Python to clean up the list of questions to delete old and duplicate…

I'm trying to create a user access report that shows the date and time spent in courses. It would basically look something like this: StudentID | StudentName | CourseName | Date Accessed | StartTime | EndTime | Total Time Getting this is a bit difficult because I cannot find a dataset that contain this info nor ones that…

These two datasets appear to contain the same information with just a few minor differences.

Is there a way for students to be able to see which content they have viewed and where they left off in the content, so that it is easier for them to jump back in? I'm not sure if I am wording my question right or not! Thanks so much, Melanie

Hi everyone, My higher education institution is looking for ways to assess student participation, a way that's connected to the gradebook in order for participation to count towards 10% of a student's final grade. What are some ways faculty do this? I'd like to avoid creating a "participation rubric" as it would be tedious…

How do students submit their homework?

students are not able to see the final calculated grade. Grades show as released. Grades show as not hidden. Not sure what else to change.

I'm importing quiz questions from a csv file, and there doesn't seem to be an option in the import template to specify random answer order. Is there a way to do this upon import, or a way to set the default for imported questions to randomize the answer order? I'd really to not have to manually change this setting for each…

I am importing quiz questions into the Question Library using csv files, but the import syntax doesn't seem to be working as expected. When I specify "Correct Selections" as the scoring method, as described in the documentation, the questions still import with All or Nothing scoring. I've tried both "Correct Selections"…

Hi, I couldnt selected roadmap option there. Will it be possbile to have a connector with Microsoft Copilot Studio. As factulty we have free viral licenses to build our own Ai agents.

Brightspace Support / Trillium College IT Help Desk I’ve completed the PowerPoint module in MS Office Applications, but I’m still receiving the same grade summary email every few hours for the past week. It’s been repeating for days, and I can’t block or filter it in Outlook due to college account restrictions. Please stop…

I would like to inquire whether it is possible to lock or disable the editing permissions for instructors from past courses. This means they can still import or access the previous courses, but they would no longer be able to edit the gradebook.

Hi everyone, I’m wondering if there’s a way to automatically switch students into a view-only mode once a course end date passes. Our goal is to let students: Continue to view their grades and feedback after the course ends, But not submit assignments, take quizzes, or post in discussions, Ideally, this process should…

I’m wondering about the best way to restrict instructors so that they can only view students enrolled in their own sections within a multi-section course. Specifically: Which role permissions control whether instructors can view students outside of their assigned sections? Does this restriction automatically apply across…

Is it best to use the Data Purge Tool to delete items currently in the Recycle Bin? If so (or if not), could you explain why? I find it time consuming to manually copy the Org Unit IDs from the Recycle Bin and paste them individually into the Data Purge set. What are the best practices when using this tool and deleting…
