Issues with brightspace grade export
Frank M. reported the following on MM:

- The column name in the export does not end with “Points Grade”, and therefore Brightspace rejects the file. For example, when the Grade Item is named “Endterm exam”, the column name should be “Endterm exam Points Grade” (or “Endterm exam Points Grade ”).
- The WebLab UI uses the term “Brightspace Title”, but it is unclear what this refers to. I propose “Brightspace Grade Item”.
- The filename contains “brighspace” instead of “brightspace”.
- Given that the grade item probably contains capital letters, having the words ‘grades’ and ‘brightspace’ in lowercase looks a bit ugly: grades-for-Endterm exam 2025-2026-brighspace.csv
- The column name ends with “”, but the import works fine without it. (I’m not sure what happens if the actual configuration of the grade item is different. If it does some validation, I guess there’s a reason to keep it. But otherwise I’d simplify it.)
