Brightspace Frequently Asked Questions
Check out our newly updated Brightspace FAQs! This list runs through the most common questions the Brightspace Support Team gets throughout the year. If you have any questions not listed here, be sure to contact our Support team for assistance.
Support Schedule
The Vanderbilt University Brightspace Instructional Technologists are available for support between 8 AM and 4 PM Monday through Friday. Any emails received after 4 PM will be addressed when our team returns to normal support at 8 AM the following business day. While we’re out, we encourage you to utilize our On-Demand Resources to answer any questions that arise.
If you have turned on peer review for your video assignment, you will be able to view the peer review that your students leave for each other. They can leave both video and text feedback for each other. The feedback is only visible between the student who submitted the assignment and their peer reviewer; it is not visible to all of their classmates.
Go to the submission that you want to see peer review on. You will see a page that shows the student submission and any feedback that has been left for that submission. You can leave feedback as well on this page. If at any point you reset the submission, however, peer review that has been left will automatically be erased.
You can also see peer review by each student. For example, if you click on Vandy Stu2 in this screenshot here, you can see a summary of the peer review they left on other students’ submissions.
Please note that students are unable to see whether or not individuals have already been peer reviewed. If needed or desired, you as the instructor can also edit or delete students’ peer feedback.
