https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/3653-create-faq-questions-and-categories I'm using the above feature and I want to be able to create some common FAQs that can be used across multiple courses. But I can only see how to add these to each course individually which is a lot of effort and very time consuming,…

Kia ora, We're setting up a template course that we can easily use to base other lessons on. We have cleaned this template of all assignments, quizes etc, but for some reason the Calendar widget still displays quizzes as upcoming events: When you go into the Calendar tool, it does not show any upcoming Events or Tasks: Is…

Hello, Under the classlist tab, we currently see the "Last Accessed" date but we are wondering if its possible to see the "Enrollment Date" into that course. Thanks!

Hi there, I am interested in downloading an entire discussion thread from D2L, including names, who said what, and when. I need this in a single file, either in a doc or pdf format. My goal is to analyze the patterns using content analysis techniques. However, I'm having trouble figuring out how to do this on D2L. Could…

I want to send an email to the entire classlist, but I want the body of the email to begin with "Dear Student," but with the word "Student" replaced by the first name of each student receiving the message. I tried using "Dear {FirstName}," but the email was received saying just that: Dear FirstName.

Will Brightspace automatically send all students registered for my class the welcome announcement? Do I need to recreate it for multiple notifications? And will Brightspace populate the class address book automatically with registered students' email addresses?

I thought spellcheck was always on but I am working with an academic who cannot turn spellcheck on for announcements and discussions (or HTML pages for that matter). THe browser spell check is turned on too. It means every time he wants to type an announcement, he must first type it in word and then copy and paste over.…

My Blackboard Learn course has about 70 announcements that are now unavailable for students to view because their end dates were in the past. I keep them that way, and each semester I activate them at various times by setting new start dates. When my Blackboard course gets exported and then imported to Brightspace, will…

Does anyone use full email in Brightspace? We're a charity and work with young people in schools. We'd like to use full email in Brightspace to contact them as they have access to the platform, but we would prefer that they just use their school emails rather than have a Brightspace email as well. Can we use existing…

I need to send the zoom link to the class but the feature to send an email to them all is no longer available. I can only IM them

Dear community, I am trying to figure out how to confirm the date a student was added to my course Brightspace. I do not admit students manually, when someone is on the waiting list and there is a free spot, students get automatically added. The question here is how to check when they first got added, and not when their…

I noticed the SMS option went away in interface after 7/24 since it is no longer support. Is there a new video out there that reflects this change in UI under notification settings? A newer version of this video below showing current notification page without SMS option.

Hello, As a superadmin, how do I enable the check box that allows the announcement author to select whether their name is displayed? I have tried Thanks, Courtney

I wanted to do a global announcement that would post in courses. I have tried using release conditions under classlist for users enrolled in an org unit at the school level but no success. Do I need it for each course offered or is there an easier way.

Wish to review an exam/Quiz with student to see the questions answered incorrectly.

How can I get messages about my grades and updates in the class on my phone?

Hi, When I restrict an announcement in a course for students only and/or for a section only, everybody (all sections, all teachers) will see it. What could be the problem?

How can I export groups into an excel spreadsheet? I have tried everything I can think of. They are participating in assessable discussions, and I want to provide markers with student names for each group so they can note which students have contributed.

We send a fortnightly reminder to users in a particular course, who have not yet completed that course. Is there a way users can opt out of receiving this reminder? Thanks in anticipation.
