I don't know of one but it would surely be helpful and keep me from having to check them all and email the instructors to tell them their gradebooks aren't set up correctly. Perhaps you should add this to the PIE.

Hi Marc,

Thank you for reaching out! The Data Hub tool might be helpful for what you’re trying to track. Data Hub allows administrators to access various data collections (data sets) from Brightspace and export them as CSV files for further analysis in third-party tools. You can find more information here: About Data Hub.

In particular, it sounds like the Users dataset contains the information you need. This dataset provides a list of users in your organization and includes a column called SignupDate, which indicates the date a user was created in the system (in UTC). You can learn more about this dataset here: Users Data Sets.

To access this data:

1. Navigate to Data Hub (often found in the organizational Homepage Navbar) and search for the Users dataset.
2. Download either a full dataset (a complete view of historical data) or a differential dataset (containing only changes since the last successful run, retained for two weeks). Differential datasets are smaller, more up-to-date, and faster to download.

Please note that the availability of the Data Hub tool depends on your roles and permissions. If you don’t see it in your Navbar, this may indicate that you do not have the required permissions to access the tool.

Let me know if you have further questions or need assistance!

Best regards,

Hello @Krizzy.S.9720, thank you for the information. This is helpful.

I see! Thanks for getting this feedback to us!

Hello @Inge.S.684

Thank you for reaching out to the Brightspace Community.

Based on your description, I think you are looking to enable the new/old content experience switch dropdown for a role.

Here is the config variable where you need to add value and select a role required.

d2l.Tools.Content.ChooseContentExperience ( Role )

Kind regards,

Ashwin Ravi

Certainly, @Inge.S.684 . Create the Discussion topic with guidance from our Brightspace Guided Training for Instructors course, https://community.desire2learn.com/d2l/le/lessons/14828/lessons/170907. The topic description should probably be the instructions for the assignment. To make the topic gradable, you'll need to make sure you change the "Grade Out Of" value to something other than "Ungraded" as below:

Learners will then post their assignment as a thread, as shown in this Brightspace Tutorials video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nJ7DAlJXgw&list=PLxHabmZzFY6k04NnOD0XJqWwJWcesCN12&index=13

They can choose to paste the text of their work in the discussion box (Brightspace Editor) or attach it as a file. Once posted, everyone else in the class will be able to see it and "reply" (comment).

When you want to evaluate it, you can follow the steps in the Evaluate a Discussion topic in the Brightspace Guided Training for Instructors course: https://community.desire2learn.com/d2l/le/lessons/14828/topics/174009

Learners won't be able to see your evaluations, only you and the individual you evaluate can see this, unless you duplicate it as a reply to the learner's post/submission.

I hope this is helpful. Let me know any questions.
