New Content Experience: Video Embeds
My institution is currently experimenting with the New Content Experience. A concern is the lack of support for video embeds (bar YouTube) when creating a new weblink. Will there ever be an option to insert an embed code instead of only a URL? Being to create video topics and audio topics is a very welcome feature of the classic content experience.
If there is a way to embed videos other than into html pages, I'd appreciate any guidance.
Thanks,
Rodrigo
Brightspace API "Invalid Parameters"
In the weeds: I am able to hit other Brightspace APIs (including successfully authenticating) using Postman, but I am getting "400" errors when trying to import a course zip file using Brightspace's course-import API endpoint.
I'm hitting the endpoint here: https://docs.valence.desire2learn.com/res/course.html#post--d2l-api-le-(version)-import-(orgUnitId)-imports-
I configured Postman to use the "simple file upload" approach specified in the docs (earlier link as well as https://docs.valence.desire2learn.com/basic/fileupload.html#simple-uploads).
This is the response I'm getting:
{
"type": http://docs.valence.desire2learn.com/res/apiprop.html#invalid-parameters,
"title": "Invalid Parameters",
"status": 400,
"detail": "Request has missing or invalid parameters."
}
Are there any examples of how to properly make these calls?
Re: How to identify who submitted work in a group assignment
Thanks for sharing your inquiry in the Brightspace Community.
I'm sorry if I misunderstood your question, but once you access a group assignment, there should be a column that discloses who submitted a file:
Please let me know if that answers your question or whether I can still help.
Re: student system pushed out of exam- can I find her submission still?
Hi @philip.s.831 ,
Responses to the exam should be saved as a user progresses through each question. When their connection failed their attempt should have been left in progress as they would have been unable to submit.
You can search for the user's attempt when grading the exam and submit on their behalf in order to mark it.
Auditor Widget - Last Accessed functionality
When using the auditor widget there is a table that displays
"Last Name, First Name" and "Last Accessed"
To me I assume this means that date and time that person listed in last name, first name last accessed the course. As this is what the heading would seem to imply as I have navigated to audit my learners from a course.
Yet large numbers of people are showing as "Never accessed" I know these people have accessed the course, so I click on one of their names to double check, and can see yes they have accessed.
Then when I go back to auditor widget "last accessed" has been updated to Todays date and time, this doesn't align with the heading, and causes queries from our end users as to what this table is actually showing them.
Can we make these headings easier to understand in config or add help text? Can D2L change this functionality if its not something we can configure to make it clearer ie.
"Last Date audited learner" "Last login date"/"Last course access date"
Getting an error when trying to download User Attribute Values or User Attribute Definitions
Trying to download these two data sets but I end up with this error. What could be causing it?
Answer ranges for quiz answers in Brightspace
Does anyone know if we can utilize point ranges in Brightspace quiz answers (e.g., any answer from 0-0.3 is marked as correct)?
Thank you for any help you can provide!
