These avenues offer courses and articles about accessibility to enhance accessibility knowledge and a group of accessibility enthusiasts to stay connected with.

For some reason, when I add more than the 2 variables into a quiz in the significant figures, it glitches the question. In the question preview, everything looks fine. But when I actually let students do it, some of the values won't put numbers in.. they just have () where there should be a value. Also, it marks every…

We are integrating Microsoft Teams Assignments into Brightspace and would like to customize the svg file being used in the resulting modal, but can't find a way to change this default chain link. Is it possible to change this? Does it come from the tool provider, rather than being something you can edit within Brightspace?

Hi, is there a setting or permissions that can be changed so that the Evidence does not display? We want to award badges for students in the lower grades without displaying this piece.

In my nav bar, I've added the portfolio link. However, this link is not visible to students, only admin/teachers. Is there a way to change the availability of a system link like this? I know how to change the availability of custom links, but system links are not visible in that list on the Navigation and Themes page.

Hello! Is there a way to switch our preview inline annotation tools back to where they were before. The new setup requires too many clicks to each side of the screen to select the tool, then the width, and the colour and so on… Thank you!

When searching this topic, it has higher education or corporate with the title. Does this mean it's not available at the secondary level? We are trying to connect Ontario Overall expectations with items in the grade tool. After reviewing "Setting up Outcomes for use with Grade book Mastery View", I feel this is the tool we…

Hello! Our group was wondering if there is a possibility to click and access the student submissions when looking through the "Preview" window? We keep searching for a One Stop Shopping opportunity if you know what I mean? Merci!

Hi, For report purposes I need to be able to export user information including their parent contact information. But when I look at the information that gets export through users (Datahub) it does n't have this info. Is there any way to export this? Thanks,

Hi all. I frequently use the text box feature inside Brightspace. Now, I use TextBlaze to insert a textbox with everything I need set up instead of making a new one on Brightspace each time. However, I have learned that the lines in the textbox, when shortcutted in, appear invisible to students. For example, I have a…

Hello everyone! Does anyone know if quizzes can be exported from Brightspace? We have teachers creating quizzes in Brightspace and would like to export them for their records. Thanks!

I would like to remove a grade entry in the grade book so that it is just blank. Before the most recent update, when I deleted a grade and saved, the gradebook would just show a blank entry. Now when I delete a grade in the grade book and save, it saves as a Zero. Is there any way to go back to just a blank entry in the…

I'm trying to upload (publish) a video, but I keep getting this error message: "Error: Thread was being aborted." Does anyone know what this means or how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

Hello, for some reason, one of our instructors keeps getting the spinning wheel on their single profile widget and the option to configure it does not do anything. Even me, as the super administrator can't try to resolve this. Any idea what may be happening?

I use Brightspace exclusively in my classroom. One thing I wish for is some type of "presentation mode" when I project my lessons. When I make the screen larger by zooming in (while using Chrome), I find that it makes the top banner and side menus larger as well -decreasing my overall real estate space. (I'm not sure if…

Hello, One of our teachers is reporting that she is not always seeing student submissions in real time when they are submitted. As a result, she has assigned students to extra blocks of catch up time, not knowing the student has already submitted their work. The students have been able to produce their confirmation emails…

The Single Profile Widgets are not responding or loading in any of my courses. In the past this widget has worked fine, showing the contact info I configured it to, but after I edited it a few weeks ago, the Single Profile Widget only shows a loading circle instead of any information. This loading circle is also on the…

Hey everyone, I'm noticing a major slowdown with the Quick Eval tool loading. It can take 30-50 seconds to refresh, or load whenever I visit. This includes when I first load it, mark an assignment, and then return to the Quick Eval screen to go to the next assignment. Is anyone else noticing this and what might be causing…

In assignments, when I highlight a word or phrase to quick-link, it asks me to type in the word or phrase in a pop-up window. Why do I need to manually type in something I just highlighted? This word processing 101 and should be expected on any platform in the year 2025. Again — so many extra clicks for something that the…

Hello! When students submit an assignment, the "assignment" tool pops up for them and provides an overview of the assignments completed and which ones are next to complete. That said, this tool is misleading because it gives the students the impression that this is the course outline. Students click and attempt the next…
