Hi D2L Community,

We're troubleshooting SCORM file management & data reporting in Brightspace and are looking for some insights into your practices.

Currently, we copy entire course sites, including SCORM files, each semester. We've recently learned that this process causes SCORM data records to accumulate within the same dataset over time. As a result, the out-of-the-box SCORM Report can no longer display the data due to the sheer volume.

To help us improve our processes, we're curious about the following:

• When setting up new course sites, do you copy content (including SCORM files) from a previous semester's course, or do you re-upload SCORM files individually for each new course site?
• Do you rely on the out-of-the-box SCORM Report in Brightspace, or do you create custom dashboards using extracted data to track learner completion?

Thanks for your input!

Hi Yi,

One possibility is to enable the HTML editor for the written response, allowing students to insert their calculations using the graphical equation tool.

However, depending on the length of the calculation, this approach might not be feasible.

Hi @Andy.F.437,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your experience, it’s great to hear you’ve been exploring Google Tag Manager with some support from SNHU!

While GA and Tag Manager are definitely popular tools for user engagement tracking in Brightspace, you're not alone in wondering about alternative approaches. I’d recommend checking out our Data and Analytics Group here in the Community. It’s a great space to connect with other practitioners who are diving deep into learning analytics, reporting, and tools. You might even find others who’ve tried different methods or are further along in their implementation journeys.

Let us know if you need help getting connected in the group and thanks again for contributing to the conversation!

One of our Instructional Designers would really like to know more about how users are interacting with the content and materials in her courses. The current tools we have, like Insights and Content reports, are very high-level and do not get to the in-page level tracking. Has anyone tried doing much more active/granular user interaction reporting with a 3rd party tool or Google Analytics/Tag Manager?

Hi,

I want to create course names and then map those courses in the semester being offered. For example, a course Design Methods is offered in Fall 2025 with 6 sections while it was offered with four section in Fall 2024. Can I get a reference document helping me to navigate creation of courses, semesters, mapping courses depending on the semester being offered and creating section under that semester.
