How long you’re on specific materials, what course materials you open etc It seems to be just local to our course site I haven’t explored fully though because i don’t really care what my students are doing in other tabs etc. A lot of people in class discords are going on about brightspace logging when you switch tabs I know that it is technically possible to see when this happens, but do they actually log it From a brief search on the googs, i can't find anything supporting this
Has anyone actually been caught cheating in this way? Course admin here…no, unless this is some new feature i haven’t figured out We can get a quiz report that shows all activity on each question with time stamps (like you picked a at 5:55:26 then b at 5:56:22 and finally settled on a at 5:58:56) but not what you are doing in your browser We can see if you are accessing course materials during the quizzes (like if you accessed lecture 1 at. Brightspace is a bit more difficult to pick up and use, and is highly dependent on the instruction staff configuring it properly, but if both of those things are satisfied then brightspace is much more useful than blackboard ever could be. It does seem a bit draconian, and perhaps a privacy issue (if d2l actually provides that information, i do not know)
Just take the exam as instructed without opening other windows It couldn't possibly be worth the risk of getting a zero to have another tab open to browse reddit while taking your exam I have significant experience using and supporting d2l (often branded as brightspace) as both an adjunct instructor and as an instructional designer I also have a fair bit of experience with canvas, a small bit of experience with moodle, but only a passing familiarity with blackboard, other than hearing that most instructors dislike it. Brightspace sucks i’ve taught on different platforms and by far canvas has been the most user friendly I haven’t used blackboard in a long time so i don’t know if it got better
But i’ve recently had to work on brightspace for this new school i teach at and it is just so annoying There is little intuitive functionality and navigation. Trueis anyone’s brightspace not working Both the website and app are not working properly for me I have tried on multiple devices over multiple days and the site is not loading at all In brightspace, select your class, then click your profile icon on the top right corner
It will show you every discussion post and reply you’ve written for that class.
