Re: Connecting an assignment with no value to the gradebook
@Caroline.Silver1518 Pass/Fail is a grade item, but it can't be associated with an assignment so you would have to manually enter the data into the grade book. If you didn't mind doing this manually, you could alternatively set up a Done/Not Done scheme and just use Selectbox as the grade item so that you can use any words that you'd like instead of Pass/Fail.

Re: Connecting an assignment with no value to the gradebook
@Caroline.Silver1518 Only Numeric grade items can be associated with assignments, and it does require points since the grade book can't divide by 0. You could just set it at 1 point and then exclude it from the final grade calculation, and tell students that 1 means done and 0 means not done (if you are not also hiding the grade item from the students). Or you can create a Scheme with just two levels of Done and Not Done set to 100% and 0% respectively and apply that to the grade item so that only the words appear in the grade book instead of points. You may need to change viewing options on the grade item to uncheck Points grade for the student view.
Re: Is there a way of exporting the classlist?
@Lindsey.Payne7677 Hi Lindsey, if you just mean exporting the list of students as a CSV or Excel file, you can do that using the grade book export and uncheck all of the grade items.
Re: I saved an assignment score (with a rubric) as draft, but release conditions are being evaluated...
Hi @Jennifer.Wagner3830 - The Outcomes Demonstrations data set does not contain a status of the evaluation, but the assignments data set should have that information. In the assignments data sets you should be able to identify which evaluations are draft vs. which ones are published and filter the Outcomes Demonstrations based upon that status.
Best Regards,
Mike
Re: Community Feedback🗨️
You're reading our minds! We were just chatting about this on the Community Team and are connecting with some new team members here at D2L to make some updates in those groups and then make them public again. Definitely working on it- and hope to make that change soon!
I'd like to take a closer look at the My Discussions error- may I trouble you to either:
- send me: a screen shot of the number shown in the quicklinks and the message you see on the page with a time stamp (when did you notice this) or
- May I have your permission to collect that information on your behalf?
Re: Community Feedback🗨️
Over in the Community Groups, Higher Education, Teaching & Learning, and Developers are all listed as Secret Groups even though they were open/public groups on the old site.
When I click the My Discussions link in the right side bar, the page tells me "No discussions were found." even though there was a number next to the link.
Re: Home Page Set up With New Content Experience
@Ellen.Whybrow9239 Looks like your institution has the New Content Experience (also called Lessons) turned on, but not the Learner Experience within it. There is a config variable to enable it: d2l.Tools.Content.NewLearnerExperience
