Is Dropbox a default option in Brightspace, or an "extra"?
I have been using Brightspace since I started teaching in 2019 and have grown to love the platform (having used Web-CT/Blackboard and Moodle in a previous role). I recently started as a part-time sessional instructor for another college, and thankfully, they also are using Brightspace. However, a third-party "lab" platform…

Excel Quiz Question
Is there any discussion about creating a quiz question that could have excel/spreadsheet capability. We used to in our old LMS be able to link to onedrive restricting the student by username to individual excel files but we’ve lost this in brightspace.

Students uploading "unusual" assignment file types
Greetings! I teach an introductory stats class and have introduced my students to an open-source application called JASP. That platform can create files in a .JASP format. In the past, I have asked students to upload file formats like .doc and .pdf, but this is a new file format for me. I'd like for my students to be able…

Different Assignment options when accessed via NCE?
Hello, An instructor has run into an issue in which she created a text-submission assignment that students can only access via the New Content Experience (She removed the link to Assignments in the Nav bar to ensure students view the lesson).

Completion Status column in grades?
Has this Completion Status column been here all along? Is there any documentation on how it should be functioning? I assumed it was tied to the completion tracking in Course Contents, but checking a discussion as complete as a student (tracking set to Required Manual) did not cause any change to this column in grades.…

Is there a way to trace who locked an account? If so, how can I do that?
Is there a way to trace who locked, disabled, or enabled an account? How can I find out who made these changes? Also, are there situations where the system might automatically lock, disable, or enable an account? If so, under what circumstances does that happen?

Download/export list of students with special access
Do you know how a coordinator can download a list of students who have been given special access. I have one coordinator with multiple cohorts and markers, and she has been trying to do the right thing entering special access for all students - even 7 day extensions. She also has a few with much longer extensions. Until…

Are there administrative data features where I can pull course stats?
I am wanting to gather data on the use of Brightspace at my university—we have online and in-person programs, so some instructors are hardly using Brightspace. I want to change that!! I am hoping to be able to view course data that could tell me which current semester courses have content in them and which course shells…

Evaluating an assignment (6 points) - asked for 'overall grade' (4% weighting)
I had set an assignment to be weighted as 4%, marked out of 6 points. However, when I go to do the actual evaluation I'm only presented with the 'overall grade' showing a mark out of 4. How do I get the 'points' to show up instead of (or at least in addition to) the weighting mark?

Marking All Posts in Forum as Read
With project group forums especially it would be very convenient to be able to mark all posts as read. This is much more work if you have to go into each topic. Since I have many groups posting in their own topics - the number of active posts in the home page is useless as there will always be group posts I don't care…

Widget banners
I am wondering how to sync the visual TOC widgets in my course with the course name widget at the top of the course. I'd like them to all be the same photo. I remember being able to do this in the past, but now it's a mess and everything looks different. Thoughts?
