If a grade category in a points based gradebook is set up to drop the lowest score in that category, should Calculated grade items be included in the items that will be dropped? If not, is there a way to set up a category so it will automatically drop Calculated grade items?
If we need to add points to the final exam weight for students who were excused from a term test, besides manually adjusting grade for these students, is there a feature in bs to do this for us? can we request it? thanks Charmaine
I set up a calculated grade item (average of individual grade items). I see it in grades area but when I attempted to use it as criteria for an intelligence agent, it is not listed.
Hi everyone, wondering if you can help... I'm setting up a course which has multiple formula grades. Is it possible to use the formula grade as a release condition? I can't seem to use the condition 'Grade Value on a Grade Item' as it doesn't show me the option of the formula grade. In the past I have used a formula in…
I’m migrating courses from Blackboard to D2L Brightspace. The courses include quizzes, assignments, and historical student records. What is the best way to transfer and preserve historical quiz attempts and answers, assignment submissions, grades, and instructor feedback when migrating from Blackboard to D2L Brightspace?…
I have a particular student who has one item flagged as Overdue under "Work to Do". This is a discussion with an end date which lapsed a month ago. The discussion was completed and the teacher provided feedback. As the LMS Admin, I impersonated the student, the teacher and had a look at the discussion and widget settings…
I use specifications grading, which is always hard to express using an LMS because it operates like a checklist. There are no points or percentages. It was suggested to me that perhaps the "formula grading system" would be a good option for specs grading in Brightspace. However, I am having trouble finding any training…
I want to share individualized feedback with students on an exam they wrote in class. Each AI-generated feedback file includes the student's scanned exam. How can I mass-upload these student-specific feedback files? It is easy for me to include an org identifier in the file name of these PDF files.
My university recently switched to Brightspace, and one feature I really miss is being able to view all of my course grades in one place. Currently, I have to navigate into each course and open the Grades section just to see how I am doing. This becomes frustrating and time-consuming when managing multiple courses. I would…
Because one of the courses I teach is highly participatory, the course policy is that a student's final grade is deducted by 6.667% for each unexecused absence beyond 3. For example, if a student has earned a 95% in the class, but has 4 unexcused abscences, their final grade would be a 88.333%. I cannot figure out a way to…
