Re: Is there a way to hide the "Post to Course Homepage" option?
Hi April👋,
I hope you’re doing well! Thank you for reaching out to Brightspace Community with your question about hiding the “Post to Course Homepage” option.
If your organization is not using the Activity Feed widget in a particular org unit, you can disable this option by setting the following configuration variable to OFF at the org unit level:
- d2l.Tools.ActivityFeed.ShowWidget
When this variable is turned off for an org unit, the Activity Feed widget will no longer appear, and the “Post to Course Homepage” option will be removed.
Please note that access to edit configuration variables depends on your role permissions. If you do not have access to make this change, you will need to contact your organization’s Brightspace administrator to request the update.
For more details, you can share this resource with your administrator. Let me know if you have any other questions—I’m happy to help!🙌

Re: Sketch email to join D2L Champions
Hey Jane,
It is legitimate :) This email is for the D2L Champion's program, sent to users who have requested to join after being approved by the Champion's team. You will be asked to set up an account for the Champion's program (different from your D2L Login). Please feel free to connect with me if you need any assistance setting up your account.
Cheers,
Coco

Instructor grade comment viewed?
Is there a way to know if a student viewed the instructor's comment for a submitted grade?

Is it possible to get rid of this pop up window that comes up every time I've been away?

Re: feedback comments not saving fully
Thanks for posting the screen shots. My issue is the same as the one depicted in them.

Re: feedback comments not saving fully
To add to what Soowook.K.3615 says:
I have been having the same issue with comments on assignments not saving all semester. (I was hoping the issue would be addressed soon, but it is still ongoing). It happens quite frequently: if I don't save my comments separately, they disappear shortly after being entered as comment bubbles around half of the time. When the comments are entered a second time, they usually then save. The issue is not associated with changing tabs. I agree with the above assessment that the issue appears to be with the server.
I would very much appreciate someone from the Brightspace team looking into the issue, as it is significantly undermining my ability to use Brightspace for grading.
Thanks!
A Brightspace instructor

Media Library - for images to use across courses
Does anyone use Media library to store images that can be used across courses?
We have just been having a play with this.
But when we go to "Insert Stuff" "Media Library" then insert the image into our content. The content editor isn't recognising as an image so we can't then add alt text or mark as decorative.
Is there a way to still use media library but insert as an image?

Re: Why is there a difference between how instructors and students insert images and audio files?
After experimenting with this at length, I have two things to say. One, it is possible to embed images in both File Submission and Text Submission assignment types without having to enable permissions for students to upload to the File Manager. But two, it is not at all straightforward. In my opinion, the workflows required to make this happen reveal serious limitations, inconsistencies, and gaps in the underlying architecture of the Assignments tool.
I started to write a more comprehensive response, but it got too complicated. If someone from the development team is interested in what I found, they're welcome to get in touch.
