Remove Modules containing Links to All Course Assignments/Quizzes/Exams/etc.
Blackboard did not have a way for students to view a list of all the assignments, quizzes, exams, etc. in a course. This led many faculty to create folders in the Blackboard course menu containing all of these. However, Brightspace already provides this functionality from the Navbar’s Assessments menu.
One takeaway from our Spring 2020 pilot of Brightspace was that failing to remove these manually created Assignment modules after a course was converted from Blackboard regularly generated confusion for students. Therefore, we recommend moving Assignment, Quiz, Exam, etc. links in the Content tool into a weekly or other consecutive sequence of modules with other relevant course content they belong with.
For assignments which are assigned one week, but not due until several weeks later, it is perfectly safe to add the assignment to multiple modules through use of the Existing Activities button because the Content tool does not create copies; it creates links to the corresponding assignment, quiz, or exam in its respective tool.
