How to reduce the darkening of banners
I spent a lot of time constructing banners with images relevant to my courses. The darkening covers almost the entire banner, obscuring my efforts to visually stimulate and engage learners.

How are you applying late penalties for late assignment submission?
Hi everyone, Given that an automatic late penalty is not a feature in Brightspace (and not gaining much traction in PIE), I am curious how other institutions/organisations are currently applying deductions for late submission penalties, please?

Basically, what I stated in the title. It would be very helpful to review what needs to be submitted in the Grades section vs. having to go to the module content. In all fairness, my university has just switched to D2L Brightspace, so we are still getting our bearings together. That said, I think this suggestion would make…

Hi everyone, Our product team regularly makes decisions about Brightspace configuration, features, and rollouts—but we've realized we're often doing this without systematic input from the people who use the platform every day: our faculty and students.
