Published on Leave a comment on Brightspace Tip #477: Quizzes – Quiz Results Displays

Quiz Results Displays (formerly known as Submission Views) can be created to allow students to go back and review a submitted quiz. Customizing the Quiz Results Displays allows instructors to choose what information the student sees upon completing the quiz, as well as what they can see when they go back to review a quiz. The default Quiz Results Display shows the overall score to the student (when they submit their quiz) and nothing else. To release more information to students (i.e. feedback, their submitted answers, the answers to each question, class averages and statistics, etc.) you need to either edit the default view or set up an additional view.

The Default View is what students see immediately upon submitting their quiz. The Default View typically does not allow students to see answers to a quiz, but does allow them to view their score on auto-graded items. You can adjust the Default View to allow students to see the answers to a quiz, keep in mind the Default View is what students see as soon as they submit their quiz. Thus, auto-publishing the attempt results and/or showing the answers in the Default View while the quiz is still in progress would reveal the score and/or answers to the quiz before ALL students have submitted the quiz.

Evaluation & Feedback accordion with Customize Quiz Results Displays highlighted

Additional Views can be created with a specified release date and time that allows instructors to release information, or answers, after a certain time. For example, an Additional View could be created for after all students have submitted the quiz (i.e., after the quiz is closed) to allow students to view their score and which questions they answered correctly and/or incorrectly, as well as answers to questions. Another Additional View could also be created to allow students to see the class statistics and could be set to release at the end of the semester. If a quiz has multiple attempts, you can also specify a score required on an attempt in order to release the submission view. You may want an Additional View to be available to the students for a short period of time. To make this happen, you would create another Additional View with the date/time you would like the system not to show any questions.

You may decide that you want the Additional View to be available to your students through the end of the semester. In this case, I suggest creating a “Shutdown View” with an end-of-semester date/time. Creating a “Shutdown View” with an end-of-semester date/time is good practice if you are planning to copy a course with quizzes that have Additional Views into another course. This ensures that a quiz with a Shutdown View will force you to update the settings in the course you are copying to. Thus reducing the possibility that you have a Additional View enabled before you want it to be.

Example of a shutdown view with a quiz results display that will not show any questions at the end of the semester

Important Notes:

  • Additional Views DO NOT take effect until the quiz scores have been published.
  • The Limited Duration option allows students to only be able to access the submission view for a short period immediately after completing the quiz. This option SHOULD NOT be used if you want students to review at a future date/time. In this case you should set up an additional view for the date/time you want the view to start AND set up a “Shutdown View”.
  • You should provide students with instructions on how to view a completed test submission.

Published on Leave a comment on Take Control of Your Course Evaluations

It’s only mid-October, but many of us are already thinking ahead to the end of the semester. Students may be anticipating Final Exams and tickets home, but I’m thinking about something a little different—course evaluations.

You might remember the old days of carbon-copy forms, sealed envelopes, and drop boxes in the Old Convent. Thankfully, we’ve moved to Brightspace for evaluations, saving us from those logistical headaches. No more setting aside class time, reading out scripted instructions, or finding that one student willing to trek across campus with a stack of forms. Now, it’s just a matter of reminding students (again and again) to log into Brightspace and click on the evaluation link.

But why am I thinking about this now, in the middle of October? At Xavier, not every course is evaluated every semester. Only first-year faculty have all of their courses evaluated; non-tenured faculty, after their first year, have two randomly selected courses evaluated each semester; tenured faculty only have one randomly selected class evaluated each year. However, faculty can request evaluations for any or all of their courses.

    We recently received a reminder from the Provost that the deadline to request additional evaluations is Monday, October 21. You can submit your request here.

    Why You Should Consider Requesting Evaluations

    Since earning tenure, I’ve requested evaluations for most of my classes. Why? There are several reasons:

    • Consistency: If one class is being evaluated, why not all? Having evaluations for all my courses provides a clearer, more comprehensive picture of my teaching performance.
    • Certainty: What if my best class of the semester isn’t randomly selected? By requesting evaluations, I ensure I capture the most insightful feedback.
    • Depth: The more evaluations I collect, the more data I have to work with. This richer dataset allows me to identify trends, strengths, and areas for improvement over time.

    Course evaluations offer valuable insights into our teaching. The more data we gather, the richer the story we can tell about our teaching journey. While I’m no data expert, even basic visualizations help me make sense of patterns. For instance, this chart compares my positive and negative responses over the years.

    A horizontal bar chart displaying various evaluation categories related to a program or service, rated from Poor to Excellent.
    Fall 2007 to Spring 2022. This chart offers a comparison between positive (Excellent or Good) responses and negative (Fair or Poor) responses.

    In addition to quantitative data, tools like ChatGPT can help summarize qualitative feedback. For example, I recently used it to analyze student comments on my strengths as a teacher. One recurring theme? Supportiveness and understanding. Students often appreciate how I listen to their concerns and adapt based on feedback.

    What you do with the data is up to you, but one thing is clear: You can’t benefit from feedback you don’t collect. Whether you’re in your second year or your 18th or your 42nd, consider requesting evaluations for one or more of your classes this semester. The insights you gain might surprise you.

    four pronoun badges

    Wednesday, October 16th, is International Pronouns Day. International Pronouns Day is celebrated on the third Wednesday of October and seeks to make respecting, sharing, and educating about personal pronouns commonplace. Referring to people by the pronouns they determine for themselves is basic to human dignity. Being referred to by the wrong pronouns particularly affects transgender and gender nonconforming people. For more information about International Pronouns Day visit pronounsday.org.

    ICYMI, read Bart’s “Yes, you should totally tell your students your pronouns” blog post.

    Did you know, users have the option to indicate their pronouns in their Brightspace user profiles? Brightspace user profiles are visible to anyone who shares a course with a particular user, including students, instructors, administrators, etc.

    Celebrate International Pronouns Day by entering your pronouns into Brightspace and invite your students to do the same.

    If you are looking for a good pronoun primer on inclusive teaching, check out this Gender Diversity and Pronouns resource from the University of Michigan.

    Also, check out name.pn if you or your students are looking for an easy way to share how you would like people to use your name. You can create a URL that links to information to help users get your preferred pronouns, title, and the pronunciation of your name correct.

    Follow these steps to do it.

    To enter your pronouns:

    1. From your Personal Menu click on Account Settings.
    2. Check the Allow others to see my pronouns box.
    3. Click on the Use different pronouns radio button and enter your pronouns.
    4. Click on Save and Close.

    Published on Leave a comment on Brightspace Tip #475: Quick Eval

    Do you want to see the coursework that needs to be graded all on one page in Brightspace? The Quick Eval tool can help.

    Quick Eval is a tool that allows evaluators to see a list of unevaluated learner submissions from all their courses. Submissions from Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes are displayed in one location to improve efficiency when locating work that requires evaluation and providing feedback to learners.

    The Submissions tab of the Quick Eval page.
    The Submissions tab of the Quick Eval page.

    Evaluators can sort, filter, and search submissions to prioritize their evaluation work. Sorting can be done using the first or last name of the learner, Activity Name, Course Name, and Submission date. Filtering can be done using one or more of the following categories: Activity Name, Course Name, and Submission Date. Clicking on a user’s name opens an evaluation screen directly from the Quick Eval list where the evaluator can complete their assessment. The search function in Quick Eval allows evaluators to locate submissions for evaluation by searching for a specific user, assignment, quiz, discussion topic, or course.

    The Activities tab of the the Quick Eval page.
    The Activities tab of the the Quick Eval page.

    When learner submissions are evaluated and published, they no longer show up in the Quick Eval list. An empty Quick Eval list gives educators confidence that no learner submissions are pending evaluation.

    Quick Eval Widget

    Did you know that Quick Eval can be added to your course homepage as a widget? The Quick Eval widget displays a list of up to six activities with submissions to evaluate. The activities are sorted by due date, with the earliest date first. The icon indicator in the widget shows the type of activity (assignment, discussion, or quiz), and the number of unevaluated submissions for each activity.

    Activities dismissed in the Quick Eval tool are not displayed by the Quick Eval widget.

    Follow these steps to do it.

    To access the Quick Eval page:

    1. On the NavBar, click Course Admin, then click Quick Eval.
    2. Click Submissions on the View By toggle.
    3. All ungraded submissions will be displayed. You can sort submissions by first and last name, activity name, course, or submission date. You can also filter results.
    4. Click the learner's name to evaluate the submission.
    5. As you complete and publish evaluations they will no longer appear in Quick Eval.

    Published on Leave a comment on Brightspace Tip #474: ‘Observed in Person’ Assignments

    The 'Observed in Person' assignment submission type is for situations where a learner needs to present something or demonstrate something and an instructor needs to confirm that it was completed. This submission type allows instructors to create assignments for a wide variety of activities and provide evaluation and feedback for these assignments in Brightspace.

    assignment submission types

    The ‘Observed in Person’ submission type is meant for scoring and evaluation of a learning activity such as demonstration, presentation, lab test, etc.

    There are four submission types to choose from when creating an Assignment in Brightspace. The submission types are:

    • File submission: learners upload and submit a file to the assignment.
    • Text submission: learners post text, image, or a link to their work in a text box within the assignment.
    • On paper submission: learners submit a physical copy of their assignment directly to their instructor. No file upload is required to complete the assignment.
    • Observed in person: allows instructors to observe learners as they perform tasks, such as in-class presentations, and evaluate the observation. No file upload is required to complete the assignment.

    There are three options to mark an ‘Observed in Person’ assignment as completed:

    • Automatically on due date – Brightspace marks the assignment as completed on a pre-set date.
    • Automatically on evaluation – Brightspace automatically marks the assignment as complete when the instructor evaluates the assignment using any of the assessment methods in Brightspace.
    • Manually by Learner – The student will mark the assignment as complete.

    The assignment can be assessed using text/audio/video feedback, Brightspace interactive rubric, or by assigning a grade.

    Published on Leave a comment on Brightspace Tip #473: September Continuous Delivery Updates

    the word update written on a chalk board

    D2L (the company that owns Brightspace) uses Continuous Delivery to update our Brightspace system. The Continuous Delivery model gives us regular monthly updates allowing for incremental and easily integrated changes with no downtime required for our Brightspace system.

    Our Continuous Delivery update occurs on the 4th Thursday of each month. D2L provides release notes to help users stay up-to-date with the changes.

    Here are some of the updates in the September 2024/20.24.9 release that were added to our system this month:

    1) Assignments – Update to assignment annotations PSPDFKit

    With this release, the software that powers annotations (PSPDFKit) in the Assignments tool is updated from version 20.24.03 to 20.24.04. As part of this update, the unsupported PSPDFKit Bookmarks tool is disabled and the Bookmarks option in annotations is removed to avoid confusion. This update also fixes defects and prevents further defects related to PSPDFKit being out of date.

    Previously, instructors could click Bookmarks and add bookmarks to the document. However, added bookmarks were not saved after refreshing the page.

    bookmarks before the update
    Before this update, instructors could click Bookmarks to add bookmarks to pages of a PDF. However, these bookmarks were not saved.

    toolbar showing bookmarks are removed after the update
    After this update, Bookmarks is removed.

    2) Quizzes – Attach rubrics to written response questions

    For Brightspace implementations that use the new quiz evaluation experience, it is now possible for instructors to attach a rubric to written response (long answer) questions on a quiz.

    click Add Rubric to attach a new or existing rubric to written response question
    When creating new or editing existing written response questions, instructors can now click Add Rubric to attach a new or existing rubric.

    Subsequently, within the quiz, instructors can use the rubric to grade the written response quiz questions. The rubric appears below the learner's answer or the instructor can click Pop Out to open the learner response in a separate dialog, enabling the instructor to view the rubric and the written response in separate windows.

    The link for the Pop Out window to view the response submission
    The instructor can click Pop Out to view the response submission in a separate window, or open the rubric below the submission in the same window.

    The rubric appears in the quiz window for the written response question.
    The rubric appears in the quiz window for the written response question.

    Learners can now see the rubric for written response quiz questions while they are taking the quiz. After the quiz is complete and graded, the learner can review the rubric in the graded quiz for any feedback the instructor provides during the evaluation.

    NOTE: The rubric is visible to learners provided the rubric visibility option is set to make visible to students.

    3) Quizzes – Optimize productivity with an improved quiz evaluation experience

    Grading workflows are now optimized in the quiz evaluation experience to improve instructor productivity. The new quiz evaluation experience can now be turned on in the quiz page you are grading.

    the down arrow that expands the new quiz evaluation experience dialog box is highlighted
    Instructors can click the down arrow on the top right of the page to expand the dialog used to turn on or turn off the new quiz evaluation experience.

    The dialog indicates if the experience is on or off and provides buttons to turn it on or off.

    After instructors have opted into the new experience, they can scroll between users and select the quiz attempt they want to evaluate for the user.

    right and left arrows to move between user attempts
    In the new quiz evaluation experience, instructors can use the right and left arrows to select the learner and then select the quiz attempt they want to evaluate from the drop-down list.

    In the main assessment area there are now two panels, which is consistent with other updated experiences in Brightspace. The following question types are supported in the new quiz evaluation experience:

    • Multiple choice
    • Written response
    • True or false
    • Short answer
    • Fill in the blank
    • Multi-select
    • Question pools

    All other types of questions (matching, arithmetic, significant figures, and multi-short answer) are not currently supported.

    If users attempt to use an unsupported question type, an alert message appears:

    unsupported questions message with prompt to switch back to Classic quiz evaluation experience
    The message indicates that the question type is not supported and provides a link to switch to the Classic quiz evaluation experience.

    On the left panel, evaluators can filter by Pending evaluation or Retaken questions only, and can view attempt details, quiz questions, and answers. From this area, evaluators can leave feedback for specific quiz sections.

    filter drop down that shows pending evaluation or retaken questions only
    The Filters drop-down enables evaluators to see questions that are Pending evaluation, or Retaken questions only.

    On the right panel, evaluators can enter or review the grade and feedback for the quiz attempt, or use other quiz management options, such as Edit Quiz, Preview Quiz, Reset Evaluation, and Quizzes Event Log, in the Evaluation Options menu.

    quiz management options (three dots on right panel)
    Instructors can update the Attempt Grade, add Attempt Feedback, or use the Evaluation Options menu to Edit Quiz, Preview Quiz, Reset Evaluation, or view the Quizzes Event Log.

    This feature implements the following PIE item:

    • D10157 (Add the ability to attach a rubric to Written Response Questions for grading)

    More information about the New Quiz Evaluation Experience can be found in the Brightspace Community.

    up close view of keyboard keys

    When you met with a student, have you ever wanted to go over their grades with them but you were unable to do so because the Grade Book displays all of the other students' grades? This isn't a problem in Brightspace. You can use the Grade Book search to temporarily hide the grades of all the other students and only show the grades for a single student.

    Follow these steps to do it.

    To display one row in the Grade Book:

    1. On the NavBar, click Grades.
    2. On the Enter Grades page, enter the first and last name of the desired student in the Search For field and then click on search icon.
    3. When done, you should only see the selected student.

    Note: If you have more than one student with the same name, you can enter the 900 # of the desired student in the Search For field. Ultimately, your search results should yield the row with the desired student's record.

    Manage Grades tab with Search For field identified

    To display all rows in the Grade Book:

    Copyright, Copyleft [23:35]

    So many pretty pictures on the internet, all just a click away! When is it OK to use those images in your presentations and projects? What, you mean there are rules?

    Thanks to those of you who attended our workshop, "Copyright, Copyleft," earlier this semester. We gave a quick rundown on digital media and intellectual property rights. We talked about common pitfalls to be avoided and showed how to find images you can use with impunity.

    In case you missed the session, or if you were there and want a refresher, we have an excellent video for you. You can find the workshop recording and other resources in support of the workshop on the CAT Base wiki.

    Any questions? Just ask. We love a good question.

    Course Analytics: Insights to Empower Your Teaching and Improve Student Learning [49:59]

    Thanks to those of you who attended last week's "Course Analytics: Insights to Empower Your Teaching and Improve Student Learning" workshop. The workshop, the nineteenth in our #LEX Advanced series, helps you to build on the skills you learned in the #LearnEverywhereXULA course and is designed for faculty who are interested in using Brightspace Course Analytics to empower their teaching and improve student learning.

    In case you missed last week’s training session or if you attended the training session and want to recap what was covered, a copy of the workshop recording and resources referenced in the workshop are available. You can find the workshop recording and other resources in support of the workshop on the CAT+FD wiki.

    Additionally, if you did not get the opportunity to earn a digital badge for participating in the workshop, it's not too late to earn that badge. We have a corresponding “Course Analytics” module in the #LearnEverywhereXULA (#LEX) course that you can complete to earn a digital badge for this topic. The badge will count towards your #LEX Advanced certification.

    Published on Leave a comment on Brightspace Tip #471: Assignments – Date Availability, Visibility, And Access Options

    Updates to the Assignment tool give instructors greater control over the behavior of availability dates for their learners. As a result, instructors can:

    • Stop late submissions.
    • Let learners view assignment information and submissions after it ends.
    • Schedule the visibility of an assignment.
    • Allow learners to view an assignment while preventing them from attempting it.
    • Post the start and end of an assignment to the Calendar.

    The Assignment list page for both instructors and learners now contain all activity dates and date settings, including:

    • Access restricted
    • Submission restricted
    • Hidden

    The Availability Date Defaults page, the Assignment page with activity dates and date settings.
    The Availability Date Defaults page, the Assignment page with activity dates and date settings

    The availability date settings will let instructors setup assignments to achieve a few different workflows for students:

    • To stop late submissions, set an end date that is submission-restricted. Learners will be able to see the assignment information after the end date, but will not be able to submit.
    • To let learners access their submissions after the assignment has ended, set an end date that is submission-restricted.
    • To prevent learners from attempting an assignment but still allow them to view details like instructions and attachments, set a start date that is submission-restricted.
    • To schedule the visibility of an assignment you want students to see at a specific time, set a start date that is hidden to completely hide it from students; or set a start date that is access-restricted to let students see the name and dates of the assignment but no other details.
    • To show the start and end of an assignment in the Calendar, include start and end availability dates on the assignment and select Add availability dates to Calendar.

    Instructors can choose the default settings for availability dates for any new assignment. The settings are available on the Availability Date Defaults page, which can be found under Course Admin.

    The Availability Dates Defaults page displaying the different options for Start and End Dates in Assignments and Discussions.

    Important: Making a change on the Availability Date Defaults page will not affect the availability dates of any previously-created assignment or discussion, but it will affect the date properties of special access dates.

    New Properties of Availability Dates for Assignments

    The availability dates for Assignments have new properties as described below. These new properties align and behave the same way as the same properties available to Discussions topics and forums.

    The Availability Start and End Dates will each have a set of three options. Instructors will be able to select one option for each date. By choosing an option, you are deciding whether learners can see the assignment and access it. The options are:

    1. Visible with access-restricted (before start/after end)
      • The assignment will be visible to learners before the Start Date or after the End Date, but they cannot click or open it.
      • This behavior is consistent with how Classic Content, Assignments, and User Progress treat assignments outside of availability dates currently.
      • With this setting, learners can see the name, dates, and restrictions. Learners cannot see the assignment description or attachments.
    2. Visible with submission-restricted (before start/after end)
      • The assignment will be visible to learners before the Start Date or after the End Date and they can click or open it, but they cannot submit or mark it as complete.
      • With this setting, learners can see all details about the assignment including description, attachments, and rubrics, but they cannot upload files, enter comments, or mark the assignment as complete (for observed in person/on paper submission).
    3. Hidden (before start/after end)
      • The assignment is hidden to learners until the start date is reached or after the end date passes.
      • Learners will not see the assignment anywhere across Brightspace, including corresponding Calendar events and Notifications.

    The Assignment List page contains all activity dates and date settings. The hover tooltip includes the information about start and end dates with settings to explain how the assignment appears to learners before and after these dates.

    The special access screens for Assignments remains unchanged when the new dates feature is enabled. However, special access dates inherit the date properties as follows:

    • When the parent assignment has an availability date set, its date property is inherited by the corresponding special access date. For example, if the assignment is hidden before a start date, then the special access start date is also treated as hidden.
    • When the parent assignment does not have an availability date, the special access date inherits its date property from the course default. For example, if the assignment does not have an end date, then a special access end date is set for a learner. This also occurs if the course default for assignment end dates is submission-restricted, making the special access end date be treated as submission-restricted.

    Note: Whenever the availability date settings are changed from the Availability Date Defaults page, those changes will immediately impact the date properties of special access dates.

    See the New Assignments Date Feature - Updated Date Availability, Visibility, and Access Options knowledge article for an in-depth look at all the feature and capability changes with this redesign.
