When I make the screen larger by zooming in (while using Chrome), I find that it makes the top banner and side menus larger as well -decreasing my overall real estate space. (I'm not sure if…

Hi, In our old LMS (Moodle) it was possible to make a user tour, depending on their role they would see either one thing or another. Is something like that also possible in Brightspace? If so: where can I find that option? Thanks! Marleen

How to force learners to retake a course if they fail the final assessment

"assignment" tool pop-up after student submission = Misleading to students
Hello! When students submit an assignment, the "assignment" tool pops up for them and provides an overview of the assignments completed and which ones are next to complete.

New learner/content experience: Start w/menu in viewer window?

Flagging students with additional needs
I've tried to find a way to flag students with additional needs so that the instructor can see this at a glance in the classlist. I can't find a way to do this and I believe there is not a current tool to enable this. I would add this to the Product Idea Exchange, only the link to it is not working! Does anyone have any…

ReadSpeaker app not available on welcome page
Hi there, Our ReadSpeaker app is not linking to the first slide on each course. Is this because it's html? This has been noted by our user testers and is a huge accessibility issue. Not to mention the additional money that we paid for this add-on. Can this be fixed?
