Course naming with IPSIS & ILP
We are in the process of moving from Banner Real Time to IPSIS and have found what appears to be the biggest hurdle so far. The naming convention for course offerings and sections has changed.

Is there any way to change the "Closed" in the "My courses" widget?
Did anyone manage to change the "Closed" displayed when a course end dates is reached? Our students get confused when they see CLOSED and they even don't think of clicking on the course to try accessing it. Thank you!

Question about adding "impersonate" to an existing role
I need to change the role for an user that has "learner" role at the Org level, but "CCOL sss" role at the school level *mostly with read only permissions, but a cascading role).

Activities progress not updated in Content section
Hello all, I got a case in a specific course. We have 360 contents. All students' progress were updated on the "Class Progress" menu (for example completed 278 out of 360 contents), but in the "content" section, it says that they need to complete 360 contents more and they haven't completed any topics. This case only…

How do you share homework with your students?
I would like some input from you guys on how you share homework with your students, i.e. "Read chapter 1-5 before the lecture on May 5th". Right now, most of our teachers put it in the description for the lecture event in the calendar, but the default calendar view will hide the description, plus it is hard for the…

Why can't we specify due dates for graded discussion topics?
I'm new to Brightspace. I've searched the articles and discussions, but see nothing about what seems like a very natural and obvious issue: Why aren't due dates able to be specified for graded discussion topics? Restricting availability doesn't allow students to post late--neither does locking. I would like to set a due…

Using Replacement Strings in rubrics
Has anybody had success using Replacement Strings in rubrics? I want to address the student in the feedback section for the criterion, however, the {FirstName} string defaults to my name. For example, Abbie Student should see: "Hi, Abbie. Good job." Instead, Abbie Student sees: "Hi, Adam. Good job." Any ideas?

Is there any way to remove the comments section which is displayed when students submit assignments?
We'd simply like our students to add a file to upload. Many have been gotten confused and posted the text of their essays in the comments section, which means we can't grade them using the annotation tools available for files.

Dynamic link for quizzes?
Is there a way to create a dynamic link to a quiz in the LOR? I wasn't able to find documentation on retrieving quizzes from the LOR, and I was wondering how it works. I went into Manage Quizzes and added a quiz from the LOR to my course, but is that quiz now static or do updates/replacements reflect in my course as well?

Proper documentation for CSV file format for questions, please.
I've found the generic document available from within the import function of BS itself. I've also found identical copies of that elsewhere on the internet (re-posted by other educational institutions using BS). But I need some serious documentation so that I can import a large quantity of existing questions and generate…

In short - I want users to see correct…

Turnitin is removing support for TLS 1.1 on Dec 31. Are we good?
Turnitin includes Brightspace in the premium partner list, and customers of premium partners are not supposed to worry. But after my experience this summer, I worry. Our hosted learning environment is showing support for both TLS 1.1 and 1.2 on the SSL server test. Are we good, or is the continued TLS 1.1 support a problem…

New course checklist for instructors?
I seem to remember there being a new course checklist you could enable so that instructors were prompted with like 5 things to do in a new course to make it ready. I can't seem to find any references to it in the config variable browser. Did this feature go away?
