Nav Bar Customization
Is it possible to hide items in the Nav Bar depending on role? I know there are some tools that do not display depending on role, such as Data Hub which is only available to Admins but not Instructor or Student roles, for example. We would like to hide the Assignments tool in the Nav Bar for students so that they rely on…

I'm looking for advice on plagiarism software. What is a good match with brichtspace?
We used ouriginal until now, but since they have been taken over by Turnitin we don't have a good contact anymore and the new product isn't compatible with Brightspace yet so we are hesitating to sign a new contract with them. What do you use? what is already quite good in detecting AI use?

Revise a role so it does not have access to all courses
Currently, our Dean role has access to all courses. Despite using different templates for different departments and only having the necessary dean on those templates, all users with the role of Dean show up in all classes. I cannot figure out which permission to remove to stop this from happening.

Students who didn't attempt a Quiz still need to be able to see solutions?
I use daily quizzes in my class as a sort of "barometer" for students to make sure they've understood the concepts for the day. I've set the quizzes to "When published, display to learners: All questions, with correct answers". As I understand it, this means once I publish the quiz, students who made attempts will see…

Multiple rubrics print over each other
We need to export marked rubrics to PDF for external moderation purposes. We always have two different rubrics attached to our assessments. To create the PDF, we pop the rubrics out into the Assess Rubrics for <student name> window, and then using the browser function to print to PDF. When we do that, the two rubrics…

How can I sort columns on the Enter Grades page?
How can I sort on the Enter Grades page for an item so that I see a list of students who have not yet submitted that item at the top of the list, arranged in Last Name A - Z order? If I sort them by Last name A to Z, and then try to sort them by Ascending grades, it reverts the names to a First name A to Z sorting.
