Posted on Thursday, June 20th, 2019

This month updates to Brightspace include a few minor changes:

Quizzes: Arithmetic and significant figures questions now round up from .5

Arithmetic and Significant Figures questions in quizzes now round up from .5 by default. Previously these types of questions were rounded down from .5. Note: Past quiz attempt scores are not affected by this change.

Discussions: Save feedback in draft state when associated with rubrics

This feature provides instructors the option to save feedback as a draft on discussions associated with rubrics before publishing it to learners. Now, when instructors add feedback for discussions with rubrics, the Save Draft and Publish buttons display. This feature extends existing Save Draft and Publish options available in other assessment tools to discussions that are only associated with a rubric.

Quick Eval: Improvements to Quick Eval list

A Draft icon now displays in Quick Eval for discussion posts that have feedback in draft status. Learn more about Quick Eval here.

Issue: Upload files/Insert Stuff dialog opens in a new un-clickable tab

When Google Chrome 75.0.3770.90 is used when uploading files to Brightspace (using Upload files or Insert Stuff), an un-clickable tab opens. The solution is to update your Chrome browser. Click here for instructions.
