Any linked resource in a course / learning experience must be fully accessible to learners if it is required for the learner to use the content to complete the course.
The Discussion Board in Brightspace is used to build peer-to-peer discussion assignments. Discussions may not be used in unfacilitated rolling-enrollment courses.
SLS Plus Courses hosted in Brightspace should be created using the MSTR Course Template. The Brightspace MSTR course template has been certified through Quality Matters Template Review.
Before a course can be submitted for recertification, the course alignment document must be reviewed and updated to the latest template, the course contents must be reviewed to ensure it complies with QM standards, and the QM Worksheet must be filled out correctly.
All images must have an attribution unless they are Michigan Virtual’s original. In order to comply with this standard, all attributions need the title, author, source, and license.
Plus courses will include a unit checklist that provides all graded assessment names, points, and aligned objectives.
Each checklist will be titled “Unit X Checklist.” Within the checklist, the category will be titled “Unit X Assignments.” Within each category, the items will be called “X.1 X: Title.” The number of points and the objectives the assignment aligns with will be included in each item description.
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.
Auto-graded test questions should be written at the appropriate readability level for the target audience and assess the approved lesson/assessment objectives.
