Re: Community Feedback🗨️
I'm sure someone else has commented on this previously, but it's extremely frustrating that I, as a Super Admin, cannot SEARCH on the
page.
I have to keep scrolling up and down, expanding areas, guessing what your categories might contain. And, my guesses are usually wrong, so I get nowhere.
I need a search for all Admin documentation, please!
This is my first time using the community site. I’m a student at Remington College Online.
Re: Assignment Type
Allowing students to either submit a file OR a link to Gdocs (or similar) makes a lot of sense. The solution of having them make a file with a link in it is not very polished.
Re: Assignment Type
Agree this would be useful! I never understood why it's an option with a quiz question but not an assignment question.
Assignment Type
I created an assignment with text submission type, but can't change to "submit file" without affecting students who have already submitted and been graded. This is very problematic for me in a continuous online course. I'm scared to delete the assignment, but can't change "assignment type" to what it should have been. My new thought is to make a second assignment where they can upload files and just hide the original text based assignment type. It would really be great to have both options (text and upload files) in the same assignment.
Re: Assignment Type
Hi Bryan,
Thank you for reaching Brightspace Community.
Indeed this is a need by several clients, there is a PIE (D4773) item that you can upvote for on having both submission types file and a text submission type file accepted, and the good news is that it is in the development stage which means that it would be in the near term road map.
Hope this help!
Regards,
Re: I saved an assignment score (with a rubric) as draft, but release conditions are being evaluated...
@MMac4280 Is there any news yet on when this issue will be addressed? Instructors I support are having the same issue with the awards they are setting up that are tied to student performance in assessment - it is preventing them from using rubrics as they are intended, because otherwise the student would get evaluation information about their submission far too early.
Re: d2l competencies and learning outcomes
Hello @ali.h.956
Thank you for asking this question!
I would check to see if whether whoever is building this course may have already imported standards/outcomes from our new Learning Outcomes tool, which overlaps and is being purposefully built to (at some point) replace the Competencies tool. The reason why this is of consideration is that you cannot use both simultaneously within the same course, and so if (Learning Outcome Tool) outcomes have been imported into the course you will not be able to leverage (Competency Tool) outcomes.
I would recommend Comparing Competencies and Learning Outcomes to get a better sense for which tool makes the most sense to be using for your course. If you're certain you want to be using the Competencies tool in this course instead of the Learning Outcomes Tool, then you can make the Competencies link reappear by removing the aligned (Learning Outcomes) Outcomes.
CAUTION: If this is a live course, I would strongly advise against making any changes. Changes of this nature should only be done prior to any learner activity occurring in the course.
TIP: Once you decide if you will be using Learning Outcomes tool or Competencies tool in the course, you can turn off the tool you do not plan to use from the Tools interface (at the course level) from within Course Administration to make it clearer which of the two is intended to be in use within the course.
If you want to explore those concepts in more depth or need further guidance to that end, I recommend your institution reach out to your D2L Account Team, namely your Customer Success Manager.
Finally, if the above does not address your issue and you continue to have technical issues with the Competencies tool (including inability to see the tool), feel free to engage the D2L helpdesk for further troubleshooting.
I hope that helps!
Jeffrey
Re: Release Notes Updates
So is it the documentation that requires additional work or the feature? GA for which phase?
