I have received reports from several users who are trying to customize their homepages but not all widgets are available to them. This includes both Custom and System Widgets. I have replicated the issue, in some courses I have access to more widgets than others and I have not yet found a consistent pattern as to why. Some…

Hi, I am looking for an option that allows students to send me a message as an instructor. Actually, I am only interested in reporting absences. I use discussions for a Q+A where they can ask questions, but that is visible to everyone.

Hello, Does anyone know if it's possible on notification emails for Quizzes to include the grade also in the email so I don't have to look it up in the LMS every time?

Is there a way to remove a competency from a hierarchy built in Competencies tool?

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…

Hi, I need a contact person in Australia, having trouble adding h5p into Brightspace. The option in "insert files" is not there. Can someone please provide me with a contact phone or email ? Thanks

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…

Hello, Brightspace Community! We're excited to share an important development in our ongoing efforts to enhance the user experience in Brightspace. Localization at D2L has been hard at work, and they've just released an informative article that will help our clients report translation errors or missing translations in…

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…

I am on the "Discussions" page: https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/discussions 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…

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…

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…

We are seeing sporadic cases of pictures that appear normal outside of D2L, being rotated 90 degrees when uploaded to the profile widget. Strange.

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…

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
