What is the recommended workflow for embedding responsive videos on HTML pages?
I'm testing out workflows for responsive video embeds on HTML pages in BrS. Unfortunately, the only viable path I've discovered so far involves using the "document templates." That's okay for new content but is a big roadblock for remediating existing content, as applying the template overrides any existing content. What…

How do you embed a video into a page while being able to enable captioning?
Hi everyone! We're new to Brightspace and getting our feet wet in developing courses and adding content. I would like to add a video within a page in my course, so that I can embed it between paragraph language (rather than have a standalone video page like I currently do - screenshot below). When I use the "Insert Stuff"…

Quizzes QTI Import
I'm reaching out to see if anyone can say if the direct QTI (.ZIP) import feature through quizzes (not Import/Export/Copy Components) has changed recently. I have an instructor who says it always worked, and now doesn't. Looking at what they provided it appears to be a Blackboard format question pool inside the .zip. The…

Impersonating in a Distributed Administration context
Our suborg admins would like to be able to impersonate users within their suborg. We have those permissions turned on for that role, but realized we likely need to have the permissions turned on for the learner role as well, since that is how suborg admins are enrolled at the org level. While we don't want learners to be…

Recording lenght limit?
Hello Is there a way to limit the length of a recording a student can record and send inside a quiz? I'm trying to get my students to send their responses in audio format, but I can't find a way to set up the length. I don't want them to ramble, so I need to set up a max time.

Wasn't there a Last Edited date on the html pages in Brightspace?
I seem to remember at one point we could scroll to the bottom of a course page and see when that page was created/last edited. This was in Classic. Can we still see this or add this in for NCE? Is there a config variable I've just missed?
