How do YOU prefer to keep INFORMED?
As Brightspace gets updated every single month, and new features and improvements are installed, it is important for us to have an efficient way to deliver the news to you, in a format that really works for you. Please help us help you keep updated with the latest news on Brightspace improvements by taking this short survey.
Improvements introduced by the September Release
- Assignments/Discussions – Grades entered in Assignments/Discussions and Grade Book are now synchronized – When you will enter a grade for an assignment submission/discussion in the standard or spreadsheet view of Grade Book, the grade will now appear with the submission in Assignments and Discussions tool. Previously, grades entered in the Assignment/Discussion tools were passed on to Grade Book; however, grades for assignment submissions/discussions entered in Grade Book were not passed to the Assignments and Discussions tools. This change ensures data consistency between Assignments/Discussions and Grade Book.
- Activities View added to the QuickEval Tool: Activities view displays indicators to show the progress on submissions, progress on evaluations, and progress on publishing feedback to learners. It also includes links to the evaluation page, submission page, and a publish all action.
- Release condition for topic completion : The Completed content topic is a new release condition that is met when a user completes a content topic.
