Is there a way to bulk deactivate courses by semester? I know it's possible to do this via IPSIS and the course offerings .csv file but we have courses going back to 2015 that were added manually. It was only in the last year or so we started using IPSIS. You can obviously delete courses manually in bulk but not deactivate…

I have gone through the process of creating a new quiz and have imported a pool from the library, but I don't see where I can select how many questions to display from the pool set. I would like each student to have a different set of about 60 questions out of a 100-question pool.

I have a student that seems to be moving quickly through the course content and interactive videos. which made me curious why he's been able to finish things so quickly.

In a quiz's settings, under Timing & Display, you can disable Email, Instant Messages, and Alerts with Brightspace.

Is Online learning better than physically learning?

I am having trouble with viewing my grades for a class in bright space. At the start of the semester, it worked fine, now 4 weeks in, I can no longer view feedback or grades for one of my classes. Anyone has any idea how to correct this?

I'm administering a quiz using Respondus, and I'd like to provide students an Excel attachment which they will then modify and upload back into their quiz.

For example. Between Modules 1 and 2, and again…
