When using the Upload/Create>Video or Audio option in Content to insert a video from YouTube, is there a way to add our own caption file (SRT or VTT)? I know this can be done when uploading a file. YouTube has removed the Community Captioning feature which we used in the past to add correctede captions to videos that our…

I'm having an issue embedding Spotify podcasts onto our lessons for users to listen to. The embedded code has been added and shows up from an administrator perspective. However when logging in as a learner, it shows that the media is from another wesbite and has been blocked, but it does not give the option to allow this…

In particular, I have used voice-to-text software for many years. My college just switched from Blackboard to D2L Brightspace last…

Averaging, radio button, not checked, Averaging" and so on. It reads each option twice. Once when it announces the radio…

I want to ensure that my images are accessible for all my students and those who use a screen reader. How do I do this?

When a course author wishes to structure a portion of a D2L page with headings, what is the correct level to use as the first heading? I assume that in the iframe of a Daylight content page, the html page used should have an h1 as the first text element. But what about: * A home page widget? * An announcement in the…

Hi, We’ve apparently updated D2L at the UA over the summer and I have a few questions/concerns about the new visuals. 1) Is there a way to have better color contrast and visual separation on the pages? The Apple Store-esque white is cute, but it makes parsing information visually MUCH harder than in the past. This is…
