Can I give learners a space to complete a personal reflection without it being a quiz or assessment?
Working in a professional setting I'm keen for people to reflect on learning materials. I don't want to push them to a discussion as their reflection may feel vulnerable and it's not something I want to mark as a quiz or assessment. What are my options?

Drop-down box shaking or flickering

Best practices for Google Integration with Brightspace
about 30% of our faculty are using Google Classroom and enjoy the functionality of google assignments. We have integrated google workspace and assignments with Brightspace, and the process works OK, but not great, and I do understand why faculty do not want to move away from google classroom because of google assignments…

Release Grades
Has anyone experienced a delay when an instructor released grades? I have run into the issue twice this semester. I know one instructor was experiencing latency issues, and the other instructor was on her personal laptop (I'm thinking maybe it needed an OS update, a browser update, or maybe they were using Edge.

They like the "Quick Eval" button, which does not show up anymore at the top (in NavBar) but it does show up as a widget below. The teachers would like it placed back up, as a NavBar. Thank you Tiana…
