Time limit limitation
A Korean instructor contacted me re the new "Auto-submit when time is up" feature in Quizzes. There seems to be a lack of connection between "Time Limit" and "Due Date". This is a problem because these two features need to talk to each other. Here is where we see the issue: e.g. Let's assume that a quiz is added to Course…

Rubric asterick
Received a question from the faculty about the ability to adjust the assigned score in a rubric. When they tried to lower a value to represent 80% for a category, the interface responded with a blue, shaded area and an asterisk after the total score for the rubric criteria. Why does the area change to blue and put the…

Correct calendar synching
I copied a course from my first 8-weeks to my second 8-weeks section. While I did change the due dates of assignments in the publisher website and the dates followed through in the LMS modules, the calendar still shows the incorrect due dates for assignments. How do I get D2L to only reflect the publisher dates and or…

Cannot search "Discussions" + confining "tag" limitation
I am on the "Discussions" page: I can filter but why can't I search? Also, why am I not allowed to create my own tags? Apparently I can only use D2L-defined tags. As far as I can tell, clicking on "Show popular tags" doesn't really show only the "popular" tags; it shows ALL available tags…which are pretty limited and…

Students are accessing content before the start date via Calendar widget. How to stop this?
It seems my students are able to access content before the Start Date by clicking on the upcoming event in the Calendar widget. Is there a way to prevent this from happening and keep all content hidden until the respective Start Dates without manually unhiding the content each week? I was hoping by using the Start Date…

Alert going to the wrong person.
Hello, we have had 2 times now where an alert for student work submission goes to a different teacher who has no connection to the class in question. We have gone through the settings and can't find any possible link. It is not consistent, only twice so far, and with different classes and teachers. Has anyone else had…

Has anyone had issues with pictures loading sideways in the Profile Widget on the course homepage?
We are seeing sporadic cases of pictures that appear normal outside of D2L, being rotated 90 degrees when uploaded to the profile widget. Strange.

What am I doing here? Seriously.
I am new to the community. As an adult learner I am looking at every available resource to me and I am curious as to what do you come to the community most for? Technical issues, help with your classes or encouragement and/or moral support. Please be patient with me, I appreciate any and all advice or information you can…

Synchronous quizzes
Hello, there is an article which states that Synchronous quizzes are available as of Sept 2023. Can someone tell me where I need to look to find this setting. I am not able to see it in Brightspace. Thanks

Progress marker
Does anyone know how to turn on the progress marker I have highlighted in this screenshot?

Make course content selectively downloadable
Is there a way to make course content selectively downloadable? We want to upload some slides for our students to download, but we don't want to make everything downloadable.

Some of my assignments say they are overdue even though I have long turned in the assignment.
Is it me or brightspace?
