Export Questions from the Question Library to a zip file
Is there a config variable that needs to be turned on to be able to export questions from a course's question library? When I select import/export/copy components, I do not have just an Export option. I have Export as Brightspace Package, as Common Cartridge, or as Thin Common Cartridge, which is exporting the entire…

Where do I put answers for Written Response questions.
Hi, at my college we are preparing to use Brightspace for the first time in the fall and I have a question my DE dept does not have an answer for. I want to make sure that for my essay exams that students can see the correct answer once I release it. But I also don't want to them to have access to the answers until the…

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…

HMTL editing not functioning in Safari
Hello, I'm not able to edit content pages (html, using the visual editor), on Safari. The editor won't load existing content or let me enter new content. I have the most recent version of Safari so it should be "supported", so I'm not sure if there is a setting or something that might be causing this error (or is this a…

How do I hide Checklists?
How do I hide checklists from students? Attach a release condition? For example, "role in current org unit"?

Content Browser Widget
When I have the “Content Browser” widget added to the homepage, one can get to all of the content that I have otherwise hidden (as I hid all the modules). I assumed making this content hidden in one place would keep it hidden in other places.

If I select "upload new version" of a SCORM, will that replace all old versions that exist of it???
I have created updates of scorms for course content on brightspace. I want to replace the old scorms that exist. If I select "upload new version" when updating, will that old SCORM be replaced not just in that location, but in the other locations it features throughout Brightspace with the new one up and running??

Forcing notifications for new Grades being posted
Hello Community, is there a way to automate notifications to students that a new Grade Item has been posted? Currently, our Instructors remind students at the beginning of a semester to 'turn on' notifications for new grade items. Is there a way that Instructors can turn this on for all students? Thanks in advance

Restricting Discussions to unique individuals
Good Morning Community, I am running into a bit of a headache. I have a professor who desires to talk to students about their writing assignments via discussion posts. A forum for each assignment and then each student has their own post under that forum. The professor wants it so that other students cannot see the contents…

Bulk Unenroll from Sections/Groups
Hello, I'm trying to unenroll a user from about 400 groups/sections, but unfortunately they all have the same default name (sec1 or grp1). I created and ran a Bulk User Management file, but it only unenrolled them from a single instance of the "sec1" section and "grp1" group. Any ideas on how to get all of them? Or does it…

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.

Archiving Discussion Board Threads
Greetings, I have a few users on campus that have a single course shell that they use on a rotating basis. An example would be a student orientation course. Is there a way to Archive the discussion responses and threads, so that the prompt can be reused and the student responses cleared? I though about copying a discussion…

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?

Error message when uploading zip file to Question Library
When uploading a zip file of quiz questions, I received the error message, "The upload didn't complete because your network connection was disrupted. When you're ready, try again." I consulted with the IT department to rule out any network issues, and they knew of none. Does anyone have any advice/guidance?

Roles & Permissions Issues
I've been troubleshooting an issue for the past week regarding facilitators' roles and permissions settings. I've enrolled several facilitators into a course and none of them are able to view any assignments. The instructor and I have double checked assignment settings (hidden vs. visible) and found no issues on that…

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…

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…
