Hello- can anyone tell me how to force a student to submit a quiz while they are in progress? I know how to give them another attempt (which I want to do) but I want them to shut down the exam they are currently in. I don't see the "impersonate" option available when I access them through the class list and right click on…

So this is a super specific question from one of our faculty. It doesn't seem possible, but I thought I would ask. Faculty has a question pool. Questions are organized into categories. Each category has at least 20 questions. Goal: Faculty wants to build a quiz with sections. Under each section, the faculty wants the…

I need to assign a release condition to a document that students need to download. There doesn't appear to be any direct way to do this. Assigning a release condition to a topic or an assignment etc, doesn't confirm that the download took place. Can anyone help me with a workaround?

Good moring, How do I add a module to the new experience? The old experience has the option to add a new module below an existing module. When I click the plus sign next to New Unit, I am given a tab that does not align with the existing modules.

My Question is: now that Microsoft is using Microsoft 365 and they are recommending using Copilot 365 for Mobile devices - when you create a Word document it automatically saves to the OneDrive. Is there a way to access the OneDrive from a Project assignment submission screen on a mobile device? Or does the actual file…

Hello, I am a learner and I have the ability to record audio/video for the Media Library. I just wanted to make sure this was private to me (/the administrator) and that it won't be shared with my classmates/instructor? Thank you! Kathleen

An instructor was re-arranging some assignments in a Brightspace course. An Assignment that was linked to the grade book was removed as it was no longer needed. The Assignment, hwoever, was removed without un-linking it from the grade book. As a result, the corresponding column was left behind in the grade book, still has…

An instructor asked me the following question: "I am interested in learning more about the ePortfolio page in Brightspace.

The integrations make an extract from our SIS, and FTP a file to Brightspace. We are wondering, if there is an error, is there a mechanism to notify the developer that there was a problem? Is…

Until recently when a single user group category was create and restricted to a section, a student changed sections they would be removed from their single user group for that section and a new one was created in the section they were added to. We have had to do it this way because of the 200 group limit per category and…

Not a quiz question! Say you have 4 lists of items, how can I randomly select one item from each list and show the 4 item results. Say I have 30 Students - so each would have a random 4 item list. Can this be programed - so it can be used with varied number of lists? And the lists may have numbers, words, or sentences.

Does changing the release conditions of digital badges or awards affect the participants who earned them previously or issued?

Hi Am wondering its only me who finishes courses and fail to get certificates thereto Am even becoming hesitant on doing more courses I am studying under Merit Ontario platform

In the classic experience, the class progress tool doesn't keep student data forever. It cuts off at some point. We've been thinking it held only 30 days of data, but that may be b/c it says it shows only 30 days of login history. I'm going to watch a course this month to see when the data starts to disappear from the…
