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.

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…

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.

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…

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.

How do I get "Height=100%" working on an embed code in the Instructions field for Assignments?
Specifically, in the Instructions field for Assignments. It gives me a tiny height viewport, but the "Width" tag appears to work. If I manually set the height, to say, 1500px, it works fine, but I'd like it to do it automatically, in case the content changes later. Code Example:
