Profile Photos
Has anyone implemented some type of integration of student and faculty profile photos from a profile image database of sorts? The idea is to have our student's official university photos populate their Brightspace profile instead of students posting whatever they want. We do this on another LMS for a variety of reasons. Is…

Dept Head Role not being reinstated after enrolled, then unenrolled as Univ Instructor
Most of our department heads are also instructors. One of our department heads was enrolled as an instructor for a course at the beginning of the summer, but another professor took over. The system made the switch, but he lost access to the course, even as a department head. Shouldn't he have defaulted back to department…

Instructor Usage question
Hello, is there a way to determine which instructors have set up and used their gradebooks on Brightpace during the semester? I see grading reports in the DataHub, but they have ORG ID numbers and not instructor names. This would take days to sort through. Thanks for any assistance.

Create user via Classlist, username issue
We'd like to use Email as the login. However, the system doesn't allow it via the course when creating a user in Classlist. Where might I be able to fix that? We're able to use email if we create accounts via course merchant or if an admin creates them. Thanks, Scott

Grade Export
Hi all, Probably a really stupid question, I apologise in advance. The techs who used to look after our Brightspace integration have now left and it appears that we have a link from Brightspace into our student records system which imports the grades which have been entered in Brightspace. We are having issues with that…

How can I set up a grade item that calculates all grades earned in 1 week, but has a maximum value?
Some background: My class is based on a 1000 pt scale. I've made it so they can come to class OR do work at home (if they're sick/need a day off, etc., without emailing me and asking what to do). The way I have set it up, each week I offer students up to (for example) 75 points, but the week has a MAXIMUM number of points…

changing individual discussion topics to group discussion topics
Hi! I have a whole bunch of discussions that were set up originally and I would like to convert them to group discussions. I have set up the group already, and it allowed me to make one of the topics a group discussion as I was setting up the group. I would like to do the same for all the other discussion topics, but I…

Checklists always visible under Course Tools>
An instructor just brought to my attention that Checklists, even ones that are not visible or have a start date that has not been reached, can be accessed by students under Course Tools>Checklist. Instructors often want checklists to only be accessible after a certain time so this causes problems. Is there a workaround for…

Can I make surveys worth 1 point?
In my class, I ask students to complete a survey at the end of every week. To encourage responses, every survey is worth a single point. There are no wrong answers: everyone who fills it out gets the point. I haven't found a way to automate this process, so I've been manually creating a graded item for every survey, and…

Deleted Content
I have a professor who has deleted content from their course, an entire module. I'm not sure if they permanently deleted them or what options were selected. I was wondering if there is a way to potentially recover that information? Is there a way to restore deleted modules>
