Re: Acknowledgement Quizzes
Hi Jennifer!
Thank you for the response. So I am technically creating a separate quiz for each unit but this is the easiest process it sounds like. I appreciate you!
Re: File management
Yes, when you choose which components to copy, you will select Course Files and Select individual items to copy. On the next screen, when you select the files to copy, when you select a file in a folder, the folder is automatically also selected. This means the folder / sub-folder structure will be copied to the target course.
Cheers!

Re: Media Library Videos/Audios and Courses Using Them
Thank you so much for pointing out that field in the report, Andrea! I haven't noticed it :)
I will test it out and let you know if I have any more questions!

Re: Media Library Videos/Audios and Courses Using Them
Hello Rim,
In the Media Objects data set, there is the ContentId field that is the unique content identifier.
In the Content Objects data set, there is the Location field that is the location of the content asset. The Content Objects data set also has the OrgUnitId field.
You will have to do some manipulation on the Location field of the Content Objects data set, but you can combine these two data sets to locate all the course org units that are using a media object from the Media Library.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Andrea
Re: Release Notes Updates
Greetings,
Apologies if this has been asked elsewhere, but is there a way for users to subscribe to release notes updates as a newsletter email or RSS feed?
Since the switch to this new D2L Community platform, I've had trouble getting these notifications anymore at all or being able to get just the update posts.
If there's another option that can send update notes to email, that would be amazing. : )
Thank you!

Re: This before That.
Hi Lynda,
In my personal experience with the gradebook, it depends on how you operate. Do you have all your assessable activities already laid out at the beginning of the term AND all the directions for those activities? Then, the order does not really matter too much. When you create an assignment/quiz/discussion a grade item will be created, and then you can organize them as you see fit.
But, if you ONLY have the names and values of all the gradable items right now, setting up the grade book first (with categories to make things organized if you have categories) THEN as you are building the assignments/quizzes/discussions you can link them to the grade items you already setup in advance.
If you DON'T have the names and values of all the gradable items right now, but you DO have the categories of the items, then going through the Setup Wizard is a good place to start, and then having the categories there so when you are building your activities, you will have those buckets to place the grade items in.
You did not mention rubrics, but if you do grade with rubrics (which I highly recommend, because it makes things much easier), I should build those out first before creating your assignments. That way, as you are building the assignment, you can just attach the rubric, versus building the rubric as you are building the assignment.
As far as Competencies, I would have anything that I was going to attach a competency to (quiz score/quiz questions, grade items, rubric) built out first. In fact, I would probably have this mapped out in a spreadsheet outside of Brightspace. Then, when I was ready to start attaching (which I like to set aside time to do all the attaching all at one time,) it would be much quicker to go through it all.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Andrea
