Account Settings Options
Font Settings: Here you can increase or decrease the size of the font used in the system. This size is only for your account and will not impact other users. You can also enable the OpenDyslexic font to improve readability. If you check this option then you will be able to preview what this will look like in the sentence directly below the font settings. If any changes have been made to these settings, you will need to click Save and Close or Save.
Dialog Settings: You should change modal dialogs to pop-ups if a) you primarily view the website on a small device, b) you primarily view the website with style sheets disabled, or c) you use an assistive technology (such as a screen reader, screen magnifier or voice software) that benefit from simpler page designs.
HTML Editor Settings: Turning off the rich text editor removes it from any area where you enter text in Brightspace and provides you with the ability to view the source and enter html in the system instead.
Reading Content: Some tools automatically mark content as read as you scroll it into view. If you use an assistive technology such as a screen reader then you may wish to disable this feature by checking the box below.
Video Settings: This setting ensures assistive technologies can detect videos. As a consequence, videos will overlap menus. It does not influence the accessibility of specific players.
Time Zone: You can modify how the system shows you time and dates by modifying these settings.
Discussion Settings Tab
Display Settings: Selecting this option will pin the Discussions List pane in the View Topic and View Thread pages.
Default View: Grid View will display the discussion posts in the traditional Grid View, with post subjects displaying in a grid. Reading View will display the discussion posts in Reading View, where the entire text of a post displays for all posts.
Reply Settings: Selecting this option includes the original post by default when composing a reply.
Subscription Settings: If checked, you will not need to manually subscribe to a discussion thread. By default this is unchecked and you will have to subscribe manually if you want to be notified of a update to a thread.
Grid View Settings: Additional settings that can be configured when you've chosen the Grid View.
Email Settings: The Email tab allows you to customize your email experience. You can also setup a email signature here that will appear on all your emails sent from within Brightspace.
