Nesting Categories in Gradebook?
Wondering if someone can help with this very specific issue: I created a Category in my Gradebook for "Assignments" because I only want to count their best 10 submissions towards their final grade. One of my Assignments has two parts - Group and Individual. Each part is associated with a different External Learning Tool…
To Update Grade Formula
Hello, I have three quizzes, and the current grade formula calculates the final grade as the average of Q1, Q2, and Q3. However, if a student has only attempted one quiz, the formula calculates the final grade by assuming the scores of Q2 and Q3 to 0, which is not desired. How can I update the formula so that the final…
Video and audio Ipad
I want to use my IPad, although I get this message with I try use video or audio when grading an assignment: “In-browser webcam recording is not supported by this web browser. Consider recording with an app and upload your file instead.” Although, the video and audio function does work when I’m using my MacBook. I’ve tried…
Student Grading
I have a particular instance where a faculty member wants to allow one of her student workers to be able to grade a certain set of assignments. She doesn't want them to access the entire gradebook but only be able to grade these assignments. Is that possible? I understand that I may need to create a Student Grader role but…
Camtasia Quiz - SCORM package - Short answer
I am exploring using Camtasia as a video quiz option and i am trying to determine how I would be able to grade a short answer question attached to the quiz. I have successfully been able to do a quiz with watch percentage and with multiple choice, t/f, and fill in the blank. I am not seeing how to grade a short answer…
Student gradebook not updating
I haven't changed any of the settings from last semester's course master. But somehow there is no updating of the student final marks after four assignments in the current semester. What do I need to change?
Bug - Gradebook giving incorrect grades for Quizzes?
Something has gone weird with my gradebook in which multiple students are receiving the same incorrect grade regardless of result. My quizzes are set to be 20 questions worth 100 points total, and Brightspace is giving 10% to all attempts regardless of how the student actually did (I included examples where three students…
Changing grade of quiz after students have completed quiz
Hi everyone, If I have a quiz that was marked out of 10 and completed by students, but the mark is meant to be out of five, can I adjust this in grade centre or will it erase the students' marks? How do I adjust? Thank you 😀
Fetching grades for withdrawn students
We have an instructor who is auditing the grades for an exam that students take to see if the score is a predictor of persistence. He'd also like to know what (if any) grade students who have withdrawn from the course received. I know it can be done one at a time via Classlist > Enrollment statistics, but this is somewhat…

Outcomes Evaluation
We have an issue where our outcomes data does not automatically populate based on the entered grade. In the screenshot shown, you will see the student received 100%, but the met/not met outcome criteria is not automatically marked. Instructors have to go into the assignment evaluation tool and manually mark each scale for…
This before That.
Anyone game to share their tips on things that work better in BrightSpace if you do 'em in the right order? I'm thinking gradebook here. And maybe competencies. Other examples welcome.
Managing 2 different quizzes, 2 different awards within one course
Hi We have two different groups of learners doing segmented content within the same course. We're using Sections for the first time and think we have the segments and release conditions for the different content, quizzes and awards under control, with the exception described below. In the Gradebook, both quizzes display…
How can you adjust previous results on a quiz when quiz is updated?
We had to adjust the marking in a quiz because it was not set up correctly and was being scored out of 1 (numeric value here for satisfactory), but the quiz really needed to be graded out of 20 and a grading schema applied. Luckily there are only three student attempts so far, and future ones should be correct. But how do…
How to reorder gradebook items
I want to change the way my gradebook is set up. Currently everything is organized by categories, like Assigned Work (which contains the majority of the items), Weekly Tests, Extra Credit. But I want the items to appear instead in the order students complete them each week, like the first assignment in Week 1, the second…
Score of quiz verus weighting of assignment
Hello everyone! I have a question about scoring and grade book items. Say in my subject I have an assessment item called 'Quizzes' and it is worth 10% of the overall grade for the subject. In Brightspace, this is broken down to 6 separate quizzes. Each quiz is marked out of 10 points. So, I know that instead of one grade…
Grade Center: Combining Point-Based Grading with Category Weighting in Brightspace
I'm struggling to set up a specific grading structure in Brightspace's grade center. Here's what I'm trying to achieve: I have 4 categories (or semester units) in my course. Each category contains 4 assignments. I want to grade each assignment using points, with each category totaling 100 points. After calculating the…
Grade Centre
I need some help tiding up my grade center. At the moment every student (of which I have 573 of them), shows every co hort against there name. I am Wondering how i can tidy this up so I only have the columns for the three assessment items, so it is less messy and less likely to Casuse an input error while trying to scroll…
I have 6 tests each graded out of 20 but overall all 6 tests only equal 25% of the aggregate of 100%
How can I set up my gradebook so I can include all 6 items (quizzes) worth 20 marks each under an assessment category called online quizzes (which only equates to 25% of the total grade). Thank you in advance
