September 2025 Learning Hub Updates

Data Hub – Brightspace Data Sets improvements

This release enhances Data Hub offerings by adding columns in existing Brightspace Data Sets (BDS):

  • Grade Results – new column: IsDeleted (bit, non-nullable)

To ensure improved consistency in our data sets, we have changed the way data is represented in the bit and datetime2 columns as follows:

  • Bit columns now only have values TRUE, FALSE, or NULL.
  • DateTime2 columns now have trailing zeros removed (for example: 2023-10-14T17:21:59.015Z).

Impacted Data Sets:

  • Grade Objects Log
  • Grade Results

Refer to the Enhancing Consistency: Upcoming Updates to Brightspace Data Sets blog post for more information.

Manager Dashboard and Learning Groups – Hide user email addresses

This feature enhances data privacy by allowing administrators to hide user email addresses in Manager Dashboard and Learning Groups. Previously, email addresses and the ability to generate reports were visible to all users with permissions for Manager Dashboard and Learning Groups.

Administrators can assign permissions to manage email visibility by configuring the following settings:

  • Manager Dashboard > See Email Addresses
  • Learning Groups > See Email Addresses

Additionally, administrators can assign the permission to generate reports:

  • Manager Dashboard > Can Generate Reports
This is the paper note and pencil icon used for notes. Note: If a user cannot view email addresses, they cannot search for users by email. The Completion Report in Manager Dashboard will continue to display email addresses, even if email visibility is restricted for other parts of the interface.
