Hello Community,

We are fairly new users to Brightspace. A couple instructors who are early adopters have some questions regarding the functionality of the Calendar tool. Rather that trying to rearticulate their comments, I'm going to provide the words below. I would appreciate any guidance that you can provide with this.

Instructor 1:
We have the ability to add calendars to our course calendar, but only if they already exist. Is there a way to construct our own calendar and add it to the course calendar? Or is there a way to use Course Schedule without assigning availability restrictions for every module?

Instructor 2:
The biggest thing is being able to customize, including creating our own calendars to add to the course calendar, as well as custom categories to filter the calendar events. As an example to help clarify, I would be envisioning an application where course content (modules) is one calendar and course assignments would be another. Filtering can accomplish that (with more clicks), but I think having the ability to create our own calendars would give instructors more flexibility to fully utilize the calendar/scheduling tools.

Can you please advise?

Thank you,

We are trying to enable a Dept Contact in a course to enroll a facilitator but the latest security patch seems to present an obstacle that we can't overcome. The Course URL is

https://community.d2l.arizona.edu/d2l/lms/classlist/classlist.d2l?ou=1316589

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I am attempting to use this endpoint:

https://(our brightspace sandbox).brightspace.com/d2l/api/lp/1.9/enrollments/users/(test user ID that exists and has valid enrollments)/orgUnits

Purpose - Create a Custom Widget that will allow students to see any Inactive Courses they are enrolled in by parsing JSON responses to pull the Course Name and its active/inactive flag.

I am getting results, which means this endpoint is working.

Like someone else from a post I saw previously, I have loaded my OAuth2.0 client ID and client secret into my JS file (saved on Brightspace). I know this is not ideal from a security endpoint, but I wanted to see if I can get the data first before handling security issues.

Are widgets just unable to use APIs to display information like Enrollment Data?

Dear Community,

We are fairly new to Brightspace, an instructor has some questions about the Completion Tracking feature within Content Settings. The instructor would like to set her account's default to Not Required. Is it possible for that preference to be set by an individual without making the change for the entire institution? Secondly, she would like to know if there's a way in which students can change their individual setting to Required or in some comparable way if they would like to check items as completed.

I would appreciate your advice on this.

Thank you,

Anyone else out here using Lumi? We are just moving to D2L and have gotten Lumi Pro (not Creator). It is set to be available for specific roles right now as we get the hang of it. The issue I'm having is that the button doesn't always show up when I create a new assignment, quiz or discussion. Has anyone had that experience or ideas to "fix" it?

Thanks!
