Re: Brightspace Community?
Hi @John.T.67
I'm copying this thread from a different discussion here:
We're so glad to have you here in the Community and are so pumped to share more about it with you!
Shoutout to @Susan.W.104 for your thoughts and suggestions in this thread too! 🌟
The community can be used to
- ask questions about how to use Brightspace for teaching or for learning
- Find documentation for your teaching and learning context ex. how do you create a quiz for a University class vs. how do you take a quiz for a university class
- Connect in Communities of Practice- ex find out more about what accessibility challenges and new solutions arise when learning online through our Accessibility Interest Group
- Access free Events / Webinars/ and Training Sessions
- Access the free Learning Center to connect to courses and teaching tools available to you when logged into Community.
If our Community was a physical space, we'd take you on a tour- since it's digital, we've made this Digital Tour resource which describes some of these destinations in greater detail and helps to show you around a bit.
You've already made your first post and introduced yourself- we hope you won't be a stranger and will continue to share more ideas and questions with us.
You're also very welcome to meet the Community Team at our upcoming Event ConvosWithCommunity: Back to School Edition we'll be sharing more resources and the whole team will be there to answer questions
Let me know if you have additional thoughts/questions!

Re: How do translated courses work in Brightspace?
Thanks for the clarification.
On our side, we're testing out:
- Export the course as a Brightspace package
- Run the xml files through our translation memory
- Create a new course for the translated content
- See what happens…
I'll provide an update here if it works out!
Re: How do I program extra time for a student in a quiz?
Gradebook - manual override
Ex: A student cheats and I enter a zero in D2L gradebook for the assignment; however, due to the synching from the publisher - my zero disappears and the student grade returns.
We could perform a Manual grade in our prior LMS.

Awards not getting assigned
Hello quick question, the Instructors and myself currently can't assign awards to our students. I am thinking it might be something with conditions? Or something that we haven't turned on as in our Org. Any help you can provide would be great!
Re: Which Community Update are you most looking forward to?
I'll be excited when I'm no longer arbitrarily assigned a weird conglomeration of part of my name and random numbers!
