I use competencies to track course completion and issue course completion certificates. I associate competencies and learning outcomes with course activities; however, this is difficult with differentiated learning paths because if I associated multiple activities the competency requires all of them to be completed. I've…

All of our course home pages have two widgets on them: "Recommend this course" - it's a graphic with a <a href> mailto URL. It prepopulates an email with the course name and Discovery URL so that coworkers can automatically email the course link to their colleagues. "Need help?" - It's a graphic with a <a href> mailto URL.…

I've been manually updating the template path for various courses, but we're ready to finally switch the default path. I went to add the Organization and cascade the change down, but it's not available as an option.

Hi, We recently created a new enterprise org unit within our Brightspace set up to serve enterprise clients. On a consultation call, we were told that we can create and manage separate homepages for each of these enterprise org units, while keeping our main Administration dept's homepage separate. We've tried to make these…

Hello, I'm testing BSpc for a clent who needs a custom template. I have requested and tried to locate it in the free trial environment, but it is either not possible or not available. I know I can approximate the template by uploading a page, replicating it and updating the content, but I want to create a more enjoyable…

GET {{BrightspaceDomain}}/d2l/api/le/{{leversion}}/1234/grades/courseCompletion/ GET {{BrightspaceDomain}}/d2l/api/le/1.75/grades/courseCompletion/12345/ Each time I run the GETs above, I get a 200 status, but it doesn't return any details: {"PagingInfo":…

When creating custom quiz display results, do the grade fields use "greater than or equal to" or "greater than" type logic? Our exams let users have 3 attempts at them. All attempts give slightly different views depending on their grade. I'm never sure how granular I need to be when setting up the Min/Max grades. For…

Hi, In our old LMS (Moodle) it was possible to make a user tour, depending on their role they would see either one thing or another. Is something like that also possible in Brightspace? If so: where can I find that option? Thanks! Marleen

Can someone help clarify this article for me? In Best practices for using Grade book Mastery View - Brightspace it states, "Automatic suggestions for the outcomes that are explicitly aligned (directly aligned to the assessment activities or Brightspace Portfolio artifacts) are not currently generated and must be manually…

We have several courses where learners are given 3 opportunities to retake a summative assessment. We'd like to make it possible for learners to retake the course if they fail the 3 assessment attempts, without having to manually reset progress. Is it possible to do this automatically?

In new learner experience, after you click on a module to view the content, it opens in a full viewer window. Along the left upper corner, you can select the 3 lines to open a table of contents. I'm wondering if there's potentially a config variable or another way to start with the left table of contents open on the…

I'm trying to create an application form for one of our courses in the LMS. This form will be copied and used in many upcoming courses for our program. It's important that we include this pdf for registrants to review and "agree" to as part of the registration process. My team has been using a different program for…

Hi, My company just implemented Brightspace as our Corporate LMS and I'm wondering if any of the Corporate customers have the following issue - and/or how they resolved it. Love the Manager Dashboard, but when our employees become former employees, we make them inactive in Brightspace. Despite this, they still remain as a…

I'm exploring how VoIP technology can enhance communication tools within educational platforms like Brightspace. Has anyone implemented VoIP solutions to improve engagement or streamline communication within their institution? What are your thoughts on wholesale VoIP providers, and how can they play a role in supporting…

Hi, We recently implemented Brightspace as our Corporate LMS. Our Managers LOVE the dashboard but it would be much more helpful if they could sort their employees by Worker Type (a field in the User Attributes). We have corporate employees and contracted employees. For the managers that have a lot of both, it would make it…

We have been experiencing an issue following the most recent update to Pulse for iOS, and I wanted to check if this is due to a setting that we have not enabled or if it is a wider issue with the platform. When a learner opens a Lesson in Pulse iOS, it is opening the Lesson via and new window in whatever the default…

Looking for information on how Brightspace Quizzes tool on how Brightspace is analyzing the statistics for quiz questions. My department is good with the statistics for multiple choice questions, but wanted to know about the analysis for the statistics for questions types such as Multi-Select, Matching, etc. Any help would…

I have an exam that, when I look at the Quiz Statistics, it shows 4 No Responses. However, when I manually look at the attempts on this question, there are: 3 first attempts 2 learners selected true 1 learner left the question empty with "Not saved" So where are the other 3 "no response" attempts? We DO have some extra…

I've read the documentation that tells me a form template I create can be added to the content of my course by selecting "Add existing" then selecting "Form" - however, I don't see form listed anywhere as an option. Has anyone else used forms in their course and know what I'm missing? It also says forms can be uploaded to…
