Re-structuring semesters in Brightspace
We're looking into streamlining some of the non-IPSIS fed semesters/courses that staff and students are enrolled on. These include Student Hub spaces with institutional support pages and Staff module design resources. What's the impact on moving support modules built in a different semester, say, 'Spaces' and move that to…

Class emails
Why are class emails automatically "NO REPLY?" Apparently, our institute is losing this functionality in moving to Brightspace from Blackboard and it will be sorely missed by all at this training session.

Link quiz questions
My paper tests often have several questions that are based on the same hypothetical conditions. Is it possible in a Brightspace quiz to link questions so they will always appear together and based on the same conditions? And, if possible, can the questions be of different types?

How do you set up Brightspace for rolling intake?
One of the programs at our organization is changing from a cohort based model to a rolling (continuous) intake model. Each program participant has up to 5 years to complete program. I was wondering how to best set up for such a design and also know what tools should we leverage in Brightspace? We were intially thinking to…

Link multiple grades to 1 assignment
We are developing assignments for integrated testing. This means that different educators look at the same product from different perspectives (e.g. a pedagogue and a didactician) (often at different parts of it, but the cohesion is important) and also each assess the product on the basis of their own/other criteria and…

Where could I find information regarding self-paced learning on the LMS?
I am looking for more information regarding self-paced learning on the Brightspace LMS. Features that could be used to enhance the student experience for online asynchronous course.

Is it possible to use an award earned in one course as a release condition in a different course?
We would like to award a badge in the last course in a program that is conditionally released based on achievements in previous courses throughout the program. To do this, we could potentially set up badges in the previous courses and then award the final badge based on these previously earned badges, but we're not having…

Announcement Notifications
Our institution has an email notification for Announcements set, but an instructor has reported that not all students receive an email notification when he posts an Announcement. I assume that is because of the students' settings, but need confirmation unless there is something I should be doing on the Admin side.

Course sizes [report]
Hello, we are just in the process of migrating from Blackboard to Brightspace and we are trying to locate/identify a report that would allow us to see all course offerings by content size (i.e. course is 1.2Gb, Course B is 900MB, etc…). Anyone know of, or have any suggestions? I looked at the old community site and there…

ePortfolio: Is there a way to share items to a group after they are shared with me?
Hello, I have a rather specific question. I am working with an instructor at my institution, and she posed the above question to me. After playing around with the portfolio and group sharing as well as doing a bunch of research online, I still cannot determine if this is possible or not. For a bit more context the…

Limit number of assignments or quizzes
Hello, I am an instructor who provides students with a list of assignments and quizzes; over the semester, they need to pick three to complete. They can choose any combination of three, but there are no do-overs. The first three assignments and/or exams they complete are the ones that count. How do I prevent them from…

How to delete items from Manage Dates?
I have a course with many items showing up under Manage Dates because the course has been copied for several years. The page is too messy now to navigate, but the files are not showing up under Manage Files. How do I clean them up?

Student view of survey responses
Hi everyone, Our students would like to review their survey responses after submitting their survey. I am thinking this is probably a permissions selection. Does anyone know which permission for the Student role on Surveys would allow this view? Thanks in advance, Linda

Using Brightspace Course as an Instructor & Admin Handbook
I'm in the process of drafting an Instructor/Admin handbook for our programs. This is used for everything from onboarding, to live session training, to HR resources, etc. I thought the Brightspace platform would be a great place to present this. Espcially since a good portion in the learning and teaching section refer to…

SCORM not resetting as expected
We recently migrated from Blackboard and experiencing some issues with SCORM packages. In Blackboard, SCORM module used to open in a new window, and if a student was unsuccessful, closing and reopening the window would reset it to the start, but this cannot be replicated in Brightspace as it only opens in a same/new tab so…

New Enollment Nofication
Our Everyday Behavior Tools course is going to be an online course with rolling enrollments dates and 2 mandatory virtual Zoom sessions. I'm not sure if this is possible in Brightspace, but I was wondering if there was a way we could automatically send our subject matter experts a notification when students enroll in the…

Is it worthwhile to turn off the student view experience so matches faculty view?
Our student community is finding their view of the lesson content experience confusing. Faculty are not good about toggling to the student view when using Brightspace in class. We wonder if we should toggle our configuration variables so student view matches the faculty view. We are unsure of the implications and what…

Why does a fillable PDF form look different in a browser versus in the downloaded file?
I have a PDF as a fillable form that learners do to complete an activity. Learners submit this through D2L. When I download the file and open it in the browser, I can see everything that the learner entered. When I open it directly from the file I saved it to, the fields are all blank. Does anyone know what's happening?…
