Structured Assignment / Template-Based Submission in Brightspace

The idea is similar to an assignment rather than a quiz. We would like learners to open the activity and complete predefined text…
Learners Cannot See Rubrics
We discovered today that students cannot see rubrics attached to discussions or assignments (dropbox).

We've been troubleshooting it for the past 1.5 hours and nothing makes sense or changes this results.…
Analytics Builder - More than one page PDF export
We are using analytics builder to view previous students attendance.

How do I set up a rubric where different criteria have different levels?
What do I do if criterion 1 has 4 levels but criterion 4 only has 3?

Best practices for Google Integration with Brightspace
about 30% of our faculty are using Google Classroom and enjoy the functionality of google assignments. We have integrated google workspace and assignments with Brightspace, and the process works OK, but not great, and I do understand why faculty do not want to move away from google classroom because of google assignments…

Right now, committee members are enrolled in that course page as instructors so that they can review all submissions. However, we are now experiencing an issue for those committee members who ALSO need to be able to submit…

Observed in Person Assignment - Marking it Complete
Hi, I have been trying to find the answer, but I haven't had much luck. It seems like everything I find partially answers my question or only discusses how to set up in-person/on-paper submissions. When using an observed in-person/on-paper submission, can you "override" any of the selected "Marked as Complete" options when…
What's this Yuja Verity checkbox under assignments in content view?
