Exceeding Points on an Assignment
Hi. I manage several sections of a course, each of which has it's own Brightspace page, though the pages are identical. We have an assignment that is graded with a rubric where students can get up to 5.5 points (there are 0.5 points built in as extra credit). The assignment itself is set up as 5 points total. In the grade book, the item is set up as 5 points with the can exceed option enabled. The final calculated grade is also set up as "can exceed". The grades on the assignment were published for two sections. When I viewed the grade book for each section, I noticed that scores were out of 5- students earning 5.5 points did not get the extra points. I was able to successfully fix the settings for one section (by retracting the results and then doing something that I can't seem to replicate) but I am unable to fix the results for the other section. How can I resolve this?
Attendance in Gradebooks
Is there a way to include attendance grades into a gradebook and to also be included in the final grading?
Re: Creating a T Chart in a Quiz
Hi Kara,
Thank you for reaching out with your question.
Currently, there is no direct way to insert a T Chart in a quiz to be filled out by students as none of the quiz question types support this functionality.
Please see this article for more details on the question types that are available.
I hope this helps!

learning groups table in brightspace
I would like to know if I can access data that tells me which users are in which learning groups.
Links in Word files behaviors
Hello,
I have a word document that contains some links and when I upload it to Brightspace, it gets converted into a PDF file. When looking at the document as a PDF, some of the links the document contains work and some don't… I looked at how the links are setup in Word and can't find any differences or reason why one work and the others don't.
Any thoughts?

Hi Timothy
We currently have an open defect for the NOTE tool in annotations under Case 02206336, which our development team is working to resolve. I am attaching the Known Issues list, where you can find this defect along with the observed behavior and reproduction steps. This will help you verify whether the issue you are experiencing is related.
If the reported issue is different, I would suggest raising a support case with us so that one of our agents can take a closer look.
Best Regards,

Exporting rubric, editing xml, reimporting and overwriting rubric
Hello, is there a definitive means of overwriting a rubric upon import?
The process I'm using is:
- exporting the existing rubric as a brightspace package
- updating the xml within the rubrics_d2l.xml file
- repacking as a zip file with the other related resources from the initial export
- Import Components > Advanced Options > overwrite
The issue that I'm running into is that the updated rubric imports properly, it just will not overwrite the existing rubric. It creates a second version of the rubric, with the same exact rubric that I'd intended to overwrite.
Lockdown Browser Error
My students are receiving this message: "There is a problem with the LockDown Browser setting for this exam. The instructor needs to use the LockDown Browser 'dashboard' to enable the settings for this exam," but I do not have a fix it button. It appears to be working fine on my end. Any suggestions?
