Good Afternoon I am producing a mock exam on BrightSpace in which I would like to have specific page breaks between certain questions, however, I cannot get the system to allow a page break between the 'advice to questions' and the 'section 1 intro' (in screen shot below) whatever I try.

Hello Team, I'm trying to get our tool to work with 1.3 and brightspace. I'm currently trying to implement openid to authenticate with.

I am an analytics builder author and I created a visualization and want to add another column. How do I edit the analysis once a visualization is published? I can't imagine I have to recreate the whole thing again. Can I unpublish it?

We use a content repository on Sharepoint to host our files like the course syllabus, assignment descriptions and so fort. When we use the share link from these resources and use the option Create new —> Add link and then want to show the file directly (that's without opening a new window/tab) the file isn't shown.…

Hi, I have watched several videos and cannot copy HTML elements from the templates to other pages in my course. I am in the HTML editor, I use CTRL+C on windows to copy from the start copy to end copy areas, I use CTRL + V on Windows to paste to the new page and it only pastes the text on the page. I have checked my…

Hello everyone! I have a question about scoring and grade book items. Say in my subject I have an assessment item called 'Quizzes' and it is worth 10% of the overall grade for the subject. In Brightspace, this is broken down to 6 separate quizzes. Each quiz is marked out of 10 points. So, I know that instead of one grade…

In Classic Content, to insert the SAME image in different HTML pages, do I choose: - Create new file or -Overwrite the existing file? When I choose create new file, it creates a second file with the number 1 after the file. Is this going to balloon my files area? What is a way around this to keep using the same image in…

I'm struggling to set up a specific grading structure in Brightspace's grade center. Here's what I'm trying to achieve: I have 4 categories (or semester units) in my course. Each category contains 4 assignments. I want to grade each assignment using points, with each category totaling 100 points. After calculating the…

Hello, We are using an override style sheet in order to maintain consistency throughout our courses and with our brand. With the use of the Chrome Inspector, I have had some success identifying CSS elements / names and changing their attributes to suit our needs. My question today is about the insertable elements that came…

I want to tie my Learning Objectives to the Rubrics. Does anyone have an example of how they did this?

Hello all, I'm trying to create single user, member-specific groups in order to create a journal for students. I want to restrict enrollments by section. However, the section name I have selected must be too long because an error comes up saying the group prefix cannot be over 40 characters, and the groups are not created.…

I am uploading an updated version of the syllabus as a pdf file, however when I view the document it shows the old version. What am I doing wrong? thank you

You could refer to the attached image that we have disabled the "HTML Editor" and "Allow learners to insert images and add attachments". The reason to disable both above is to prevent learners from accessing their computers to open up files or even the internet during their assessment. Is there any workaround to be able to…

Hello, I have some faculty who have switched to NCE from Classic Content and are getting error codes saying that content posted three levels deep won't show. I've encouraged faculty not to bury content and have given them alternatives, but the issue is the some courses containing the same structure don't have that error…

Here's our dilemma, we've found that students are waiting until after they leave the proctor to open their quiz review and then take photos of the quiz answers. As a result, our tests have been compromised and need to be rewritten. We know how to set parameters to allow only one review attempt, how long they can have that…

An instructor reported an issue in that she created a content module which contains sub-modules. The top-level module contains an item however whenever the module is accessed from the content widget it redirects to the sub-module rather than to the top-level module. I have checked various settings, but I can’t figure out…

Good Morning, Our institution uses sections to manage large intakes. We have up to 200 students for some intakes. We would like to look into ways to stop instructors from posting in other sections, as many often forget to restrict their posts to their own sections. Is there any way for their roles to only post to their own…
