Re: Who clicked "Like"?
Hi @Mike.B.559,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback — we really appreciate you sharing your perspective!
We're excited to let you know that based on your suggestion, we’ve now enabled a new hover feature for reactions in the Community Corner. When you hover over a reaction (like a "Like"), you’ll see a pop-up with the names of the members who reacted to the post.
We hope this small enhancement helps build more connections within the Community and makes it easier to see who shares similar ideas and interests. Thanks again for helping us make the Community even better!

Re: How can we change the name that is displayed on the tab title?
Thank you for your questions. The name displayed for your org can be updated in Org Unit Editor. At the top level org (usually OUID 6606), administrators should have permission to change the properties by selecting the "Edit Properties" button and the "Name" text field should open to edit the text.
For more on Org Unit Editor, please see:
Please let us know if this was useful! Cheers.

Re: how do i print a quiz
HI @rudy.k.545
Printing a quiz in Brightspace is getting a whole lot easier!
Administrators can use a free tool called the Quiz Printer Widget for Brightspace Quizzes to print quizzes and answer keys
Coming August 2025 we're releasing a feature "Print a Quiz to be Taken Offline" right in Brightspace that will offer Instructors a way to print a quiz that may include any "native Brightspace question type, shuffling, question pools, and multiple versions as well as an answer key"

Re: Accessibility report animation
HI @Mary.B.5383
We appreciate your participation here and want to make sure that the tools you use to create learning experiences best support you, and the learners in your classroom.
We've connected with your account team here at D2L to share your feedback with this tool in particular. The Brightspace Accessibility Checker does not use these features. The speedometer and emoji are created by another organization's integration that has been added to your school's Brightspace instance.
There are other kinds of tools that can be used including the Brightspace Accessibility Checker or combined with it to help Educators evaluate the overall accessibility of the material being added to their courses. We've asked your Account Team to share back with your school some more information about some of those tools.
Sharing back with your school's Brightspace Administrators is another way you can share your feedback about the current experience and possible alternates. I'll send you some of those contact details in a direct message.
Your posts here remind us that creating accessible content, and using accessibility tools doesn't mean one thing universally. While there are some great principles of UDL that help us broadly, deep concepts specific to the needs of learners who may use assistive devices like a Screen Reader or Screen Magnification may encourage specific learning design choices to provide the best experience for users of specific assistive devices interacting with different forms of learning material.
There are many voices in our Communities and in this Community in particular. As long as we're working to support one another and lift each other up all are very welcome here.
