Brightspace Editor

This release updates the Accessibility Checker icon in Brightspace Editor to improve user recognition and understanding.  

LTI

Instructors can now control when LTI tools write grades to the grade book without deleting grade book columns. They can use the UI to independently remove grade associations from specific LTI content topics while editing them, preventing grade contributions from LTI tools.   

New Content Experience

Instructors can now add topic descriptions in the New Content Experience (Lessons) to set expectations and provide context for learners. These descriptions appear directly on the activity page to guide learners. Additionally, they are visible in the Search bar, enabling learners to find the correct topic more easily.

Instructors can edit topic descriptions from the activity page using the (...) Options menu and select Edit.

The following topic types support descriptions:

  • LTI links
  • Web links, including Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and Capture.
  • Files, including media files but excluding HTML files.
  • SCORM, including imported content and content from the Learning Object Repository (LOR).
  • LOR items, such as URLs and files.

Quizzes

Quiz statistics now include filters for Sections or Groups, allowing instructors to analyze specific sections and groups effectively. The new filter improves analytics for courses with large class sizes and multiple instructors.
