Team-based quizzes?
Can Brightspace do team-based quizzes (as in team-based learning, or TBL)? This would involve having one quiz attempt active, with scores applied to each person in a group.
With Blackboard and Moodle I did this by having each team (5-10 students) choose one member as the quiz-taker of record (QTOR, I guess), then
- The QTOR logs into the LMS and starts the quiz
- The entire team gathers around the laptop or computer monitor
- Everyone discusses each question and decides on an answer
- The QTOR submits the quiz
- I go into the gradebook later and change all the zeroes (everyone but the QTOR will have a zero for the quiz) to the QTOR's score, which is actually the team score.
Does Brightspace have a function to allow this more easily? For instance, if my groups are already created, can I just designate the group as the quiz-taker for certain quizzes, and then anyone from the group who clicks "start" on the quiz becomes the QTOR (possibly locking everyone else out in a first-come/first-served situation) and then the QTOR's quiz score gets automatically propagated to all team members after finishing, along with changes I might make to the grade afterward?

Hi Darrin,
At this time Brightspace does not team-based quiz functionality as you have described.
Using the existing tool functionality you could:- Create the groups
- have one person from the group take the quiz
- copy the quiz score in the Grades tool to all other group members
- Have group members individually take the same quiz in the collaborative context you have described
The idea for team based quizzing in Brightspace is a good one. You should consider making a submission into the Product Idea Exchange for review and consideration.
Hope this helps.

Yes, that is exactly what I do. I was hoping since Brightspace is a computer thing, and computers are good at automating tedious tasks like this, and this is a tedious thing that thousands of college teachers do every year, BS would already have this functionality.
Looking through the feature request site I don't have much confidence that requesting features will provide a positive ROI even for the 5-10 minutes' investment it would take to do that.

Hi, jumping on this thread. We're also exploring the feasibility of team-based learning in Brightspace.
Does anyone here have any insights regarding FeedbackFruits and integrating it into Brightspace for TBL?

I wish I knew the answer to your question. I also wish Brightspace would ask its 3 coders to send the actual answer to questions in the emails I receive when someone replies to a question.
Your question is a good one. However, it was really not worth my time to click a link in my email ("Someone answered your question!") that took me to this site to see that you had more or less the same question I do.
Brightspace's need to control all discussion about their product makes their product worse.

Hi Yi Yan.L.782 Thank you for asking the question. I don't have an exact answer. However, we do offer the LTI integration with Brightspace. I did some research and found some information. Integrating FeedbackFruits into Brightspace enhances the platform's capabilities, particularly for implementing Team-Based Learning (TBL) methodologies. Try the following steps

Just wanted to follow up here @Darrin.R.505 re: your feedback on email notifications here in Community.
When you are a commenter, but not the original poster of a question in Community you do get a preview of the comment that has been added to the thread in the email notification- but you're right, you don't get that same preview when the comment is considered another answer to the question you have originally posted.
I agree with you, that these experiences should be consistent and have submitted a request to work on improving that functionality based your feedback here.
