Hi, We have a number of modules that have some banner text on them relating to the year and I just wondered if there was some way to narrow down those specific modules and update the year on the banner text in mass rather than having to do each module one by one. E.g. a set of modules which have the title Moderation xxxx…

Hello, I was just curious if there was a way to turn automatic markdown updates off, whether it's a browser setting or a setting in Brightspace. Like if I wanted to italicize something, I'd do " * Italicize this *", without the spaces. You can really do it with anything on this: https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/…

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?

I imported quiz sections from Blackboard. In Blackboard, the questions were set to random answers but I don't see that that copied over into Brightspace. How can I set those answers to random order without having to manually edit each individual question (I have hundreds)?

Hello, We have an instructor who needs to upload materials to the LOR. She's running into an issue with some of the content where an error reading "Error: The thread was being aborted" appears. Could this be due to the file size of the content? Please see the attached screenshot for reference.

Is there a way to set up an intelligent agent to generate a report for a given date range for learner's who have earned an award in a particular org unit?

I've been trying the flip cards element using both the V2 and V3 templates and the element renders differently between V2 and V3. Furthermore, the Creator + training site examples show multiple sizing options for the cards. I could not reduce the size in either version of the templates. I can only add cards resembling the…

How do I access MyFire live?

I'm trying to give awards to students based on their threshold level for a specific criteria on a rubric in a course. The rubric is just one criteron row. When I create the award, I set that a student has to hit a specific threshold (i.e. Level 3) on that criteron row (not the overall rubric row). I create an award for…

Hi there, I'm an admin in Canada. We are noticing that learners who use Rogers, Chatr, Freedom and Fido can no longer receive email to SMS notifications. Does anyone know what is going on? Roger is the parent company of Chatr, Freedom and Fido. Does anyone know if all of these companies stopped offering email to SMS…

When I open a discussion, all the posts are collapsed and I have to expand each post to see the full message. Is there any way to scroll through the full text of all posts without anything collapsed?

really inconvenient to not have student number beside name and having to go back to class list to reference all the time. Any way to have student number show when grading?

I don't quite understand how to set up quizzes. Gail Roberts

I want students to have due dates displayed on the calendar. When I assign a Norton InQuizitive or a reading on Perusall, the student has nothing to submit on Brightspace. Then the assignment shows as overdue (in red) after the due date has passed, even though they have successfully completed the assignment on Norton or…

If a course shell has been deleted, and students had submitted coursework to the course shell prior to the course being deleted, is it possible to recover the students' work that had been submitted? FYI…The course shell was synced from Ellucian Colleague and was then deleted. The course shell was re-created in Colleague…

I would like to obtain new training videos for the new content experience for submission views, publishing grades and other basic features of Brightspace. Where can I find them?

My institution is soon to introduce Brightspace as the LMS and I am playing in my sandpit to become familiar. I am entering a quiz and have resolved most issues except one. I am creating different sections for the exam. Section A has a random pool of 20 selected from 27 questions. Worked that out. Section B and Section C…
