Discussions

The Discussion Board in Brightspace is used to build peer-to-peer discussion assignments. Discussions may not be used in unfacilitated rolling-enrollment courses.

Gradebook Progress Checks

Plus courses include a progress check after each unit. The Progress Check should include all graded assessments up to the Progress Check. Ex. Progress Check Unit 2 includes all graded assessments from Getting Started, Unit 1, and Unit 2.

Adding CourseArc LTI Links

For clarity and organizational purposes, CourseArc LTI links that are linked in Brightspace should be named Lesson X.X: Title of the Lesson. This should be the name in both External Learning Tools in Brightspace and in the unit folders.

PLS Gradebook Setup

Ensure the gradebook items are in the same order as they appear within the course content and that their names make it easy for a learner to find the item in the course. Complete the Setup Wizard so that grades are successfully reported to the PLP and adjust the final Calculated Grade so that course completion triggers in accordance with the course completion criteria.
