Hi We want to make amendments to some of the questions in our quizzes and would like to alter the question library so that any change is cascaded down to all the quizzes that use that question. However we can't find the question library! Can you explain where this is found? Many thanks Best regards Debbie

I've had this issue with my home institution and a different school where I am taking a grad school course in Brightspace. In discussions and assignments, my browser won't scroll anymore. To see the proper button to save my work, I have to make the page smaller (ctrl+-) to zoom out so I can see it.

This gradebook is using the weighted system. I have many categories that include many grade items in each. Weighting is very different for each category.

For context, in one of our courses, we initially had 12 modules. However, we removed the last 3 modules earlier this year. Our assessments/activities used a rubric to grade all 12 activities corresponding to these 12 modules. Now, we want to update the rubric by removing the last 3 activities (10, 11, and 12).…

Hello I've imported quizzes from several courses and now I want to delete the ones that I'm not using in the course. However when I try in the quiz management area, the courses I tick are not deleted I think because they have a key (locked?) symbol by them. Why is this locked symbol there and can I remove it to delete the…

Is there a way to change the default programming language for code samples on a course by course basis? Right now, the default is JavaScript. Every time I insert a code sample, I have to change this from JavaScript to the appropriate language for the course (e.g., some courses are taught with Python, some with Java, some…

This is our first semester using Brightspace and importing courses using Ellucian's ILP product. I am attempting to import courses into EvaluationKit and the only courses EvaluationKit sees are the ones I've created manually. Nothing that has come over via ILP is showing up when I search the LMS. Has anyone run into a…

I am not offering classes via zoom, so how do I hide the links to my zoom sessions? I feel that having these links can create confusion for students who think they may be an option for participating in class.

Can I turn off this Virtual Assistant? It just gets in the way when I'm showing students content pages. Unsurprisingly, asking this virtual assistant how to "hide virtual assistant" or "turn off virtual assistant" or similar queries produced no useful response. As a workaround, I have reenabled my script blocker (uBlock…

I enrolled a group of learners and did not click the "send enrollment email" button because we are waiting to notify learners until after the facilitators have been trained.

One of our instructors asked the following: "I usually have my students complete a scavenger hunt at the start of each term to expose them to the many resources available to them. I'd like to do something similar for the Brightspace course page. Any ideas of how I might use release conditions and intelligent agents to…

We're having an issue with the Hawkes Learning LTI and they believe it's something unchecked in the Instructor permissions that's causing the issue.
