Hi. I have an instructor who is concerned about privacy in a small class if she uses the Display Class Average to Users or the Display Grade Distribution to Users options in a Grade Item. She is afraid other students may figure out student grades. Is there any setting that requires a minimum number of users in order for…

I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this- I created an exam in my Sandbox and imported it along with the question library to my course instance. My exam runs partially on questions pools (draw 2 MCQs from Chapter 2 etc). When I look at the Question library in both my sandbox and my course, the questions are up to…

Is it possible in Brightspace to teach a course for several years and make a subdivision with sections per year, per period, per class. The content of the course is unchanged. The announcements, assignments, quizzes etc will change. It is possible to work with 1 course instead of creating a new course per year/period.

I have a faculty member who is putting in grades and they are getting an error message that instructs them to: Enter a non-zero denominator. They have been putting in grades for weeks now and up until today, putting in grades in the gradebook was not an issue. Then they opened the class today and this error came up having…

When I grade an assignment that requires an attachment such as a Word document, I use the filter shown in Figure 1 below to find submissions I have not graded yet. After finding the new submissions, I select them all and click Download to download the attachments, as shown in Figure 2 below. The issue is when I reapply the…

I tried via the Grade Setup Wizard, checking the Automatically Release etc, but students still cannot see the Final Adjusted Grades. From Manage Grades, attempting to make Final and Final Adjusted grades to students I get the error: "Final grades cannot be hidden or made visible" This is very frustrating and time wasted…

I am able to enroll a user into any given section using the API, however I am unable to remove that same user from any given section using the API. I've reviewed the various endpoints, and the closest I got to removing a user using the API from a section was to call the DELETE method on an endpoint like this:…

My assignments and projects appear in both Content and Assessment sections of Brighspace. On the other hand, the discussion forums only appear in the Assessment section. Is it possible to make the discussion forums also appear in the Content section? Or is it possible for the assignments and projects only appear in the…

Hello Brightspace Community, We are currently using the New Content Experience (NCE) for all of our courses, but we are interested in turning on the New Learner Experience (NLE). We really like NLE, particularly the arrows to navigate through content, the more visible tracking and knowing where they left off, and general…

Is there a feature/setting for Brightspace groups that can prevent lecturers from manually grouping one student into multiple groups? Like a notification or indicator that flags up. Sometimes when there are too many students to be grouped into a pre-determined grouping, this setting/feature would help our lecturers to…

Hello, A user have no acces to a course. The user has a defined role as "Instructor", he should have acces to all courses but can't acces to a file. When I impersonate another user who has the same role, the issue doesn't occurs. I let you impersonate these two users to try.

We noticed that for a standard Brightspace Quiz (no LDB), users are able to click on the "Show Password" icon to check if they have typed in the correct password. But when the quiz is opened in Respondus lockdown browser, the functionality is gone. Users are unable to check what password they had typed, and numerous…

Does Bright Space have a system through which an instructor's performance can be tracked? Or are there any reports that can be generated to see how the instructor engaged and how quickly assignments were graded? A search in documents shows that Intelligent Agents must somehow be used. The question I have is how. Can…

Is there a way to re-weight items in Grades for students who missed an exam? For example, a student missed a midterm, so now the final has more weight.

You have been aware of the sticky note glitches when writing online feedback for months. Specifically, the cursor skips to the start of the sentence when writing a note. When is this going to be fixed???

Dear Community, I hope you can shed some light on my understanding of the LTI Links table in the LTI Data sets. I was analyzing the usage of LTI links. I have joined the LtiLinks table with the LTILaunches on LTILinkId and LtiLinkId. After joining, I have realised that many links were missing in the LtiLinks table, which…

At present, the final grade in my course is not including the homework. I am trying to adjust the final grade calculation so that the homework category is included, but I do not see where or how to do that. I also need to take the raw homework grade (x out of 345 points) and convert it to a 100-point scale before inclusion…

Hello, I lead 10-15 sections of a first-year orientation course, and I used surveys to collect some pre/post information from students. Is there any way to collect individual student responses from each section of the course (each has its own Brightspace course shell) without downloading each individual student's response?…
