Removing evaluator when there is only 1
I have a course which has one Faculty member in the classlist, everyone else is a student. This Faculty member is listed as the Evaluator of the 2 Turnitin assignments. It seems unnecessary to have them listed as the Evaluator, since they already have permission to grade the assignment. When we try to remove the evaluator…

How can I change the layout of the Content page?
Hello, On the Content page, I would like to use the space on the right of the screen currently occupied by an empty column so that Content is wider, and less scrolling is required in a Course.

May I use Brightspace as my LMS for my own web application?
Hello community. I'm trying to build an educative course for my university and I don't want to place it on Brightspace, I want to make it as external tool. There's a way I could use Brightspace as a bridge between Educaplay/Kahoot to my web application so I can save the results and update them on my own database? Thank you!

Is there a limit to the # of tiles that can be displayed in the Visual Table of Contents widget?
I thought for sure I used to be able to display 16 tiles (one for each week, all on the same page) in the Visual Table of Contents widget. Now it seems to be limited to 12, unless you select "View All," and then they display in giant size with a squashed image. Am I just imagining this?

HTML Template (Version 5)
I have just reviewed version 5, and I am noticing that the "elements" pages do not seem to appear in version 5. I am assuming this is because Bootstrap and JQuery are no longer included. So, I would just like to confirm with the community that this version no longer allows laypersons like me to embed accordions, tabs, etc.…

Is there any way to assign "any" vs "all" of associated activities with competencies?
I use competencies to track course completion and issue course completion certificates. I associate competencies and learning outcomes with course activities; however, this is difficult with differentiated learning paths because if I associated multiple activities the competency requires all of them to be completed. I've…

Is there a way to search a Brightspace course for a specific word?
We're moving to Brightspace from Blackbord. After a Blackboard course has been exported/imported into Brightspace, is there way to search the Brightspace course for a specific word (like "Blackboard") so that we can easily locate and change all references to Blackboard to Brightspace?
