Replace Strings allow instructors to personalize course content and communication in Brightspace by incorporating the student’s name, for example, into announcements, content, or intelligent agent templates. Essentially, anywhere you find the HTML Editor*. The use of replace strings can help the instructor build better relationships with students, increase engagement levels, and improve the overall learning experience.
Replace strings are particularly useful within the following:
- – Announcements
- – Content descriptions (modules, topics, etc.)
- – Intelligent Agent templates
- – Grades when adding bulk feedback
In your HTML Editor, use the curly bracket {} to enclose the string of text.
Here is an example of an announcement using the {FirstName} replace string and the {OrgUnitName} replace string.
