Course Completion
Hello out there - once a student completes a course, is there a way to make it invisible or inactive ONLY for that one student? We would like to keep the student's data, marks, comments, etc. but not have the course show up on their dashboard. Other than unpinning a course, is there a way to do this without actually…

Configuring API - How to find Admin Tools
My main goal is to use this API within my research project with my professor, so we can alter how our auto grading system for computer science assignments is done. I am trying to get student submissions from students who are registered in computer science courses, and from there use those files to grade them with an…

Support for ETag and If-None-Match headers
This is more of a feature request than a question, I hope this is the right place to submit it. If the Brightspace REST API supported Etag and If-None-Match headers, it could allow for more efficient communication for both the client and the server The headers are described in these links:…

Grammarly Integration in D2L
For some reason my credentials no longer work to view the PIE, so I figured I'd ask here. Is there any way we could integrate Grammarly into D2L like Turn It In?

Is it possible to make multi-part arithmetic quiz questions?
This is a huge need - it creates a great deal of frustration in my class when students have to re-calculate something they have already done with new numbers to answer the next part of a multi-part question. Also it would be great if arithmetic question set up included a math editor! Thank you!

Course Files API - Delete file
When I use the Course Files API to view a file, it works as expected. For example, GET d2l/api/lp/1.44/xxxx/managefiles/file?path=/path/to/file.txt (org id and file name omitted) works completely fine and as expected. Based on the documentation, it would appear that the only thing that should change is instead of using the…

Course Files API - Public Files management
I was wondering if it's possible to use the Course Files API to interact with Public Files (such as those available under /shared)? I have a use-case that would benefit from being able to programmatically delete/create/update files in that area, and my initial testing suggests that the Course Files API doesn't see files…

Can we upgrade the profile picture?
I wanted to put this in the PIE, but I've been getting errors. I'm putting it here. The D2L profile picture was likely set up when space was very limited. However, now, the tiny profile picture needs to be fixed. 1) Instructors can't use it to help learn student's names; the image needs to be bigger. 2) Students asked to…

Bypass redirect when doing OAUTH2 login
I have an application that authenticates to D2L using OAUTH2. Our D2L instance is configured to redirect to a single-sign-on page that authenticates against Active Directory. The account my application uses is local to D2L though, it does not exist in Active Directory. If I do an interactive login I can access this account…

Chegg
I work for a college. Screenshots of our homework and quizzes from D2L appear in Chegg. There is a lengthy process to track the students for checking through IP. I wondered if D2L has the technology to create a repeated watermark on a screen that will appear in a screen capture. This would be an easier way to track this…
