Request for Assistance: Filing a Ticket on New D2L Website
I am writing to inquire about the location of the link for filing a ticket on your website. I am familiar with the process on the old D2L website, but I am having difficulty navigating the new site. Could you please provide me with the link or guide me through the process of finding it? Thank you for your assistance.
PowerPoint slides overlaying on top of each other when uploaded
Has anyone else had PowerPoint decks show every slide at once when uploaded as a file into Brightspace? If we turn it into a PDF it does not do this but we are hosting the files for instructors to download and then use when teaching the course. The deck is fine before and after it is uploaded and downloaded.
Instructor was deleted from a course
The instructor was added to a course via an uploaded file. Last night the instructor was deleted from the course. What is the best to get him added back to the course?
User.UserData.LastAccessedDate relecting user creation date?
Hi all, Has anyone else noticed that /d2l/api/lp/(version)/users/(userId) always returns a value for LastAccessedDate, even if the user has never logged in?

In testing using the…
Instructor experience documentation for Merged Courses?
Our institution is using the course merge tool. I'm unable to find documentation about using merged courses from the instructor or student perspective. What changes take place to D2L functionality after a course merge? I would assume one could do things like have a release condition to have activities or announcements…
seeking some guidance on using ETL to generate data on completed rubrics
I am new to using Domo in the Insights Report Builder, so am hoping someone can provide some practical tips here. I have attempted to create several dataflows to generate what I need, but am finding that I am not making much progress. I need to generate a report that will show rubrics results for 5 specific courses. So…
