#brightspace is still a massively overpriced, barely-functional, heavily-enshittified prototype of the principal-agent problem, in case anyone was wondering.

#Brightspace is a series of missed opportunities and profit-based shortcuts masquerading as an #LMS. Its gradebook has significant, inexplicable (in light of 20 years of web development) shortcomings. Naturally, many people want to just use #Excel.
Well... good luck.

Here is how I imagine LMS contracts might work if faculty made the decisions, not admins who haven't had to teach their own classes in 15 years:
Each campus would get licenses for 3 #LMS platforms. #Faculty would choose which they wanted to use. Each company would get paid based on how many faculty used their shit.
Companies would hate this and try to refuse. If they did that, the campus would say kthxbye and fill the spot with an LMS with less rigid ideas.
Fuck every LMS I've ever worked with, to varying extents (of fuckery). Software like this sold to schools seems to me to have often gone through extreme peak #enshittification

Just a quick #brightspace #hatepost:
1. In at least a couple of multiple-select dialogs, choices down the page FUCKING RESET all choices previously made up-page. With no flag, no warning, etc.
e.g., for accommodation overrides for students on a quiz, you choose dates, extra time, other conditions, etc. Then at the bottom of the page (actually a 20-line window within a page, so what you already did scrolls up and out of sight) you choose the subset of students this applies to.
And as soon as you do, everything else you have done resets to default values--that is, Very Wrong Values, without any indication this has happened. There you are, looking at the "save" button, unaware that brightspace just fundamentally fucked something up that will take back-and-forth emails, frustration, and crying/angry students to notice or fix.
While I'm at it...
2. Half the "enter URL" fields when adding links to external content are pre-populated (hard version) with "https://" and the other half aren't. If you get into the wrong habit when creating your content, you get broken links.
3. Half the "insert an image" fields for content (e.g., for quiz questions, handouts, etc.) accept drag-drop from a desktop file manager. The other half don't, requiring a sequence of 3-5 button hunts and clicks, then (in a subset of these) searching through your computer's filesystem.
Is it so wrong to want my job not to be made harder because a billion-dollar company can't be bothered to do basic shit?
