Class emails
Why are class emails automatically "NO REPLY?" Apparently, our institute is losing this functionality in moving to Brightspace from Blackboard and it will be sorely missed by all at this training session.

Archiving Discussion Board Threads
Greetings, I have a few users on campus that have a single course shell that they use on a rotating basis. An example would be a student orientation course. Is there a way to Archive the discussion responses and threads, so that the prompt can be reused and the student responses cleared? I though about copying a discussion…

Link quiz questions
My paper tests often have several questions that are based on the same hypothetical conditions. Is it possible in a Brightspace quiz to link questions so they will always appear together and based on the same conditions? And, if possible, can the questions be of different types?

Error message when uploading zip file to Question Library
When uploading a zip file of quiz questions, I received the error message, "The upload didn't complete because your network connection was disrupted. When you're ready, try again." I consulted with the IT department to rule out any network issues, and they knew of none. Does anyone have any advice/guidance?

Roles & Permissions Issues
I've been troubleshooting an issue for the past week regarding facilitators' roles and permissions settings. I've enrolled several facilitators into a course and none of them are able to view any assignments. The instructor and I have double checked assignment settings (hidden vs. visible) and found no issues on that…

Link multiple grades to 1 assignment
We are developing assignments for integrated testing. This means that different educators look at the same product from different perspectives (e.g. a pedagogue and a didactician) (often at different parts of it, but the cohesion is important) and also each assess the product on the basis of their own/other criteria and…

Re-structuring semesters in Brightspace
We're looking into streamlining some of the non-IPSIS fed semesters/courses that staff and students are enrolled on. These include Student Hub spaces with institutional support pages and Staff module design resources. What's the impact on moving support modules built in a different semester, say, 'Spaces' and move that to…

Is it possible to use an award earned in one course as a release condition in a different course?
We would like to award a badge in the last course in a program that is conditionally released based on achievements in previous courses throughout the program. To do this, we could potentially set up badges in the previous courses and then award the final badge based on these previously earned badges, but we're not having…

Announcement Notifications
Our institution has an email notification for Announcements set, but an instructor has reported that not all students receive an email notification when he posts an Announcement. I assume that is because of the students' settings, but need confirmation unless there is something I should be doing on the Admin side.

Panopto Videos Won't Play on iPads
We have integrated Panopto via the External Learning Tools into D2L. Our students that use iPads have recently been unable to view any Panopto videos linked in content. Tried multiple browsers with the same results. Only a black box appears. This is happening only on iPads. Have you heard of this issue? Any solutions?

How do you set up Brightspace for rolling intake?
One of the programs at our organization is changing from a cohort based model to a rolling (continuous) intake model. Each program participant has up to 5 years to complete program. I was wondering how to best set up for such a design and also know what tools should we leverage in Brightspace? We were intially thinking to…

Accordian troubleshooting
I'm using v3 of the html templates and sometimes when I insert a single accordian, the bottom line of the text box disappears when the accordian is collapsed. And then on other pages, the text box is visable. I'm inserting the accordian below a horizontal line and right above the page footer on all pages. Any ideas why…

Course sizes [report]
Hello, we are just in the process of migrating from Blackboard to Brightspace and we are trying to locate/identify a report that would allow us to see all course offerings by content size (i.e. course is 1.2Gb, Course B is 900MB, etc…). Anyone know of, or have any suggestions? I looked at the old community site and there…

Limit number of assignments or quizzes
Hello, I am an instructor who provides students with a list of assignments and quizzes; over the semester, they need to pick three to complete. They can choose any combination of three, but there are no do-overs. The first three assignments and/or exams they complete are the ones that count. How do I prevent them from…

ePortfolio: Is there a way to share items to a group after they are shared with me?
Hello, I have a rather specific question. I am working with an instructor at my institution, and she posed the above question to me. After playing around with the portfolio and group sharing as well as doing a bunch of research online, I still cannot determine if this is possible or not. For a bit more context the…

Student view of survey responses
Hi everyone, Our students would like to review their survey responses after submitting their survey. I am thinking this is probably a permissions selection. Does anyone know which permission for the Student role on Surveys would allow this view? Thanks in advance, Linda
