- Click + IP Range to identify which IP-addresses are permitted. This is particularly useful for when you want students to partake in quizzes on campus or at a special location.
- Note: the Brightspace server can only view external facing IP addresses that your institution is using, so don't use any internal ones.
- To get the right IPs to use, log into a computer from where you want students to take a quiz and view your Login History to see the IP address.
