APIs - Set/Get Release Conditions

Hi all,

In our organization, we make extensive use of the release conditions feature.

As an example, we have a module in a course offering that contains numerous topics, each of which is a weblink that points to a student's Google Drive folder. We manually add restrictions to each of these topics so that only the specific student can see this topic, containing his/her Google Drive folder link.

I searched the API documentation and found this page which talked about how to GET/PUT release conditions:

https://docs.valence.desire2learn.com/res/releaseconditions.html

We have tinkered with the information on this page for a while now, but we cannot get anything to work. We have tried applying the API actions to other Brightspace elements, such as units, surveys, and quizzes, and tried GETting the release conditions on these elements, but nothing works at all.

We already have created a number of automation programs to assist us in other Brightspace tasks (which make use of the D2L API), but this has always been the feature that we wanted to work, as this would considerably speed up our workflow.

It would be greatly appreciated if we can get confirmation that the release conditions API is completely working, or if someone could point us to the right direction.

Thank you.

Teems and Conditions

While following this: https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/4386-set-up-terms-and-conditions , after turning on 'Custom Terms and Conditions' there is no 'Terms and Conditions' option available from the Admin Tools. Has anyone managed to get this to work?

Complex Arithmetic Questions

Trying to write a physics question where the variables change. The abbreviated (after spending several hours trying the actual one) formula and the response from D2L when I test it are:

Original Formula
0.009{q3}((-{q1}*(ABS({x1})/SQRT({x1}^2+{y3}^2))/({x1}^2+{y3}^2)))
Actual Formula
0.00930.0((-35.0*(ABS(6.00)/SQRT(6.00^2+20.0^2))/(6.00^2+20.0^2)))
Solution
Error: Infinity value returned

I tried the exact formula in excel and it returned a finite number. Is there someone who sees what I am doing wrong?

Thanks.

I think I found my error. I used SQRT instead of SQR for square root. Thanks.

Is there a way to restore a previous grade scheme?

Hello! I accidentally changed my "max points" rather than changing the weighting. Now all of my assignments original marks are gone and adjusted. Is there a way to restore an older version of my grade scheme so I may get these marks back?

Re: Link to registration page?

Hi @nichole.gladky3425 ,

This is such a great question!

We have recently launched our beta testing experience to allow single sign on into PIE, Learning Center, and the ASC Homepage. This means that only one set of credentials is necessary to access these spaces😀

We would love for you to register to experience this and provide us feedback in our designated Community discussion.

Learn more about our Single Sign on Solution within our Community article.

Because PIE is available to our clients, signing in with verified credentials is required and a direct link to a PIE item will not work. What we recommend is for someone to register to be a part of our beta test and connect with PIE through the Quick Links widget.

Hoping this was helpful and we appreciate your feedback!

Link to registration page?

Where/what is the most appropriate page to send others to so they can EASILY register and see the PIE idea I created for them? Everytime, I send someone a link to a PIE it brings them to the CA site that looks like it has nothing to do with Brightspace. I can find an adequate registration sign in page that is not confusing.

Re: Is there a way to observe which students are currently taking a quiz?

I see it now, thank you very much!

Re: Is there a way to observe which students are currently taking a quiz?

Hello @Lilly.B.489 ,

To check if the user's attempt is in progress or if users have not started the quiz/attempt. Please go to Quiz> on Dropdown select Grade> Click on "Search Options" > it gives you a view where you can choose view restricted to:

All Users, Users who have not taken an attempt, Users who have completed an attempt, Users with attempts in progress, etc. so either choosing one of the filters or all users will provide you with the list of users based on your search.

The same goes with the second tab in the screenshot "Attempts" where you can filter results based on attempts. Apart from that under the "More actions" dropdown, you can even see the event logs based on Quiz entry, Quiz completion, etc.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks
