Hi @Joe.M.742 There are some really cool things you can do in Brightspace to jazz up the presentation of learning material! Many schools will offer a tool called Creator+ which makes it easy to add activities, and style to your learning material. This article provides some more information on what Creator+ is and connects you with a course where you can see how it works and how it looks if you give it a try. This tool allows you to create formative learning activities that can be completed directly on the learning material content page (these are often referred to as "Practices")
Sometimes other Educators will share back what they're doing with Brightspace and there are a few examples I can show you like this one which includes ideas for activities you can add to Brightspace without Creator+, like wordle style activities and other fun games
Let me know if this is the kind of thing you're looking for, or if I've missed the mark. Grateful to have you here in the Community and to be learning through your question!
Hi; Thank You for your quick response @Stefanie.B.518 . I did take some time to play with the tools and I found that they can be very useful. That said; is there away where you could just add a textbox so that students can directly answer questions directly on the content page. I tried different things in the creator plus i.e. using the fill in the blanks tool; but couldn't find anything for my intended purpose. Perhaps I am missing something. Your support is appreciated.
Hi @Joe.M.673 You're not missing anything- you're correct! There isn't a free form entry option that comes with Creator+ but there is some great work underway here at D2L for the New Content Experience to make assessable activities like Discussions available without navigating to another page. We have some more information on this in the Roadmap and also from the March Release Note. Adding a Discussion to your course content is a way for students to write into the page.
Your questions here are appreciated! Hope the week is treating you well! 😊
