Re: Accessing Class Progress after the end of semester
Thank you, @Aasim.Y.704,
Our institution is also requesting for the progress view be available after a course has ended. It's imperative for us to be able to view progress of our past users for certification purposes. We are encountering a number of customer service issues on our end because we have no way of verifying what content items they did or did not complete after the course ended. Thank you for providing the PIE item number. We have gone in and voted for this idea to pushed forward with production.
Thanks again!
Re: Export existing quiz as CSV?
If you just need the questions in a spreadsheet, you can download from Statistics or Reports within the quiz.
Re: How is a department added to a course offering?
Problem solved. Looks like it is an ancestor rather than a direct parent:
GET /d2l/api/lp/(version)/orgstructure/6626/ancestors/
[{'Code': 'KU',
'Identifier': '6606',
'Name': 'Top Level Organization',
'Type': {'Code': 'Organization', 'Id': 1, 'Name': 'Organization'}},
{'Code': 'ct_user_sandboxes_cb',
'Identifier': '6641',
'Name': 'User Sandboxes Container',
'Type': {'Code': 'Course Template', 'Id': 2, 'Name': 'Course Template'}},
{'Code': 'dept_Brightspace_Training_d2l',
'Identifier': '6650',
'Name': 'Brightspace Learning Area*',
'Type': {'Code': 'Program', 'Id': 101, 'Name': 'Program'}},
{'Code': 'SB_SEM',
'Identifier': '6655',
'Name': 'Sandboxes',
'Type': {'Code': 'Semester', 'Id': 5, 'Name': 'Semester'}}]
Another minor strange thing is that Department is actually Program. In one place Brightspace uses the term "department", in another "program". Do you know why this is? Seems confusing.
Thanks.
Re: Known Issues List Updates
A new version of the Known Issues List is now available. The most recently added known issues are flagged as *New*.
Assignment Type
I created an assignment with text submission type, but can't change to "submit file" without affecting students who have already submitted and been graded. This is very problematic for me in a continuous online course. I'm scared to delete the assignment, but can't change "assignment type" to what it should have been. My new thought is to make a second assignment where they can upload files and just hide the original text based assignment type. It would really be great to have both options (text and upload files) in the same assignment.
Question library
I have an instructor who wants to print out her question library. Is there a way to do that without it being 200 pages long?
