Re: How do I reliably add Sections to Groups for Lab Courses to manage due dates?
Hi, Jef!
- You may create the sections in your course offering, let´s say: Section A and Section B
- Create one Assignment (same assignment for Section A and Section B)
- Define Special Access and Release conditions to allow all Section A students to upload their work on Monday and Section B students on Friday.
I hope this helps you!
Re: How do I set due dates on discussion boards
Has the discussion due date been removed altogether in the new content experience? I've got content copied from a previous semester with due dates on discussion content, and the only way I can find to edit/remove the due dates is to temporarily switch back to the old content experience. Is this a bug or just really bad, but intentional, UX?
Re: Firefox and Submissions

Re: How can I submit my student's work in a dropbox without having to borrow his identity?
To submit an assignment to a dropbox for a user, you have to use the impersonation, then submit the file to the assignment.
Here is a previous similar discussion:
Re: Imposing a file size limit
Is there a reason why instructors cannot set this on a per-assignment level?
Assignments that require video submissions and assignments that require PDFs have different requirements. Asking administrators to do this seems overly complicated and like a waste of everybody's time.
Unable to preview SCORM contents in LOR
We published some SCORM 1.2 files directly to LOR. The preview link shows an error message "Unable to acquire LMS API…"
The SCORM file works fine in the course though.
Re: Has anyone used Brightspace datasets to identify group enrolments?
@Mary.C.485 The GroupID that you can get from D2L is actually an OrgUnitID because groups are included in the Organizational Units data set. The Type field will be Group instead of Semester, Department, Course Offering, etc. Groups are descendants of other org units, so you can join Organizational Unit Descendants and Organizational Units to get a list of groups within each course. Then you can join User Enrollments to get the UserIDs of everyone enrolled in those groups.
Adding an Assignment to Portfolio
Is it possible to add a Brightspace assignment to the portfolio? One of our instructors has an assignment where students have added text and attached a number of photos. She would like to push the entire assignment to the portfolio however we can not see a way to do this.
Thanks!
Issues with Powerpoint view in New Content Experience
I have many faculty members who like to upload Powerpoint decks into the Content area. I already receive complaints that Powerpoint files turn into a PDF, but am now receiving complaints that the PDF is showing with text overlaid and out of place. Typically, I would direct faculty members to change to the "View as Page" mode, but the bottom of the PDF viewer is hidden - I can scroll the PDF itself, but am unable to scroll the page down to see the bottom of that viewer box where the "View as Page" option resides. Anyone experiencing something similar? Any work arounds?
