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? Mostly, our academics are calculating this manually, but this is time-consuming…

Creator+ practice questions in elements
Hi everyone - I'm working with a faculty member who wants to put the Creator+ practice questions inside a carousel so students can flip through them. I'm not seeing a way to do this in the carousel element setup itself - the text options don't seem to include an option to put in Creator+ practice questions, or to include…

Arithmetic Questions, Precision, and Tolerance
I have an Arithmetic Question with Answer Precision set to 0 with enforce precision set to False, and with Tolerance for units set to 0.75. The correct answer is -44.423. My expectation is that any answer + or - 0.75 from that is within the tolerance. Which gives us the range from -43.673 to -45.173. Furthermore, since the…

docx File Preview
I don't understand why I cannot view in Preview mode from Assignments, student work saved as a docx file. Why does Brightspace change the formatting from a submitted docx file. Things like spacing, paragraphs, pagination, etc. is ALL different most of the time. I shouldn't have to download and use my hard disk resources to…

Using h5p smart import creates multiple smart import folders after I moved the contents

This is where the issue is - at normal user interface level, I don't see so many smart import folders but in the files management interface, therethere are so many…

arithmetic questions: need to accept either a positive or a negative answer
Hey all, In creating an arithmetic question, I somehow need to explain to Brightspace that if the answer is, say 123, then I want either a positive (123) or a negative (-123) answers to be accepted as correct. How do I do that? For context, you might be wondering how it makes sense to accept both the negative and the…

Streamlining Feedback Entry and Gradebook View
We are using rubric-based feedback, and I am looking for ways to reduce the number of clicks. I am hoping that the following is either already available (and I just haven't found it yet), or that these might be put on the list to be added for ease of use. Right now, this process is unnecessarily burdensome. - Filter the…

Youtube videos not playing in embedded SCORM files
We are using the new content experience in Brightspace. I have imported a SCORM file (v. 1.2 created using Articulate Rise) containing some YouTube videos.

importing with course components take too long
My understanding is that if I try to export/import a quiz without selecting Course Components, then the embedded figures will not come through. Maybe this has been fixed; I don't know. But when I select Course Components, it seems like it tries to export/import all of the components of the course, not the ones just…
