@Melissa.H.804,

When using IPSIS, all Course Offerings should have a Section associated with it. The purpose to doing so is to separate out the course (as created from your Student Information System (SIS)) from the enrollments. Now that might seem counterintuitive, "Why not just put all the enrollments into the Course Offering directly?" Merging/crosslisting courses is exactly why. There's some images on the Crosslisting Management Interface page that helps illustrate what happens when you crosslist courses together and how the Sections matter.

Within a Course Offering in Brightspace, there is obviously so much more you can do than just house enrollments. Adding in Sections allows us to more easily move enrollments around below the courses. Also then when you crosslist courses together, then the Course Offering will give you filtering options when in tools like Classlist, Grades, etc. to show which students/learners belong to which Section. There's some additional data privacy benefits to using Sections as well, for example, an Instructor could have access to see all students across all Sections that are crosslisted in 1 Course Offering, but the students would only see those who are in the same Section in tools like Classlist, Discussions, etc. Additionally, Sections can act as a group-like tool that you can then make release conditions and others based upon, so if you wanted to create an Announcement, but only have it for the students of a particular Section, you then have a way to identify them easily within the Course Offering.

Hopefully all that background is helpful.

Now onto your note regarding the duplicate Sections. This is perfectly normal. As is illustrated in the Crosslisting Management Interface page, each Course Offering would have a Section. Sections themselves aren't that easily moved around, so instead a duplicate Section will be created that will be a child org unit of the new Course Offering. The original Section then remains just in case you ever want to un-crosslist the courses together, so the enrollments would flow back into the original Section and the duplicate would then be deleted.

Hope that helps!

Hello @Darren.S.643
Thank you for reaching out to D2L through the Brightspace Community.

We have a Defect Logged for the Single Profile Widget not working for Firefox as expected under the Defect number: 02004431.

According to the defect, the issue with images not displaying within the Single Profile Widget in Firefox is related to the browser's settings. Specifically, when "Enhanced Tracking Protection" is enabled in Firefox, it actively blocks cookies, leading to the images not being displayed. However, in other browsers where cookies are not blocked, the images appear correctly.

The current workaround for the issue is to either disable "Enhanced Tracking Protection" for Firefox. I've attached documentation from Firefox on how to do this: [  https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/third-party-cookies-firefox-tracking-protection ]. Alternatively, you can use any other browser to access the site.

Hope this helps.

Hi @Zuzanna.G.8744, thank you for reaching out to the Brightspace Community.

I’ve reviewed the issue, and it appears the documentation needs to be updated. The dataset named LTI Links includes information about deleted LTI links. Our LTI team will revise the documentation to ensure it reflects accurate information.

Regarding the LTI links that aren’t appearing in the dataset, could you provide more details so I can assist you further? Are they still missing from the data set?

Thanks,

Daiana Arantes
