Intelligent Agents (IA)
Would I be correct in saying that IA is useful within a course and not something that can be used as an outside or overall main Org Unit tool? Since we add students/instructors to our Brightspace instance via IPSIS there is no way for us to email a student or instructor that they have been added to Brightspace as a user…

Why are all page head links broken in v5.0 course offering template html files?
I'm not sure when they were released, or whether there's a fix. Or even, if anyone has the direct urls to all the css and js files in the page heads of the templates. That would be helpful.

Submission file type changed after upload
I've had a strange experience wherein I uploaded a .dwg file (as a submitted assignment), then a .dxf file in the same assignment. I then deleted (moved to the trash bin) the .dwg file on the computer. I left both files on Brightspace. When I next looked at Brightspace, both were listed as .dxf files. Can anyone tell me…

Why are there now random BS default images on homepage unit buttons
Hello Why are there now random BS default images on our course homepage unit buttons if an image was not selected in the course content?
