Attendance register questions
I use the D2L/Brightspace attendance register feature for my in-person courses.

When I use the "Insert Stuff"…

How to have a weblink in one module and reference it from other modules?

Media Library - for images to use across courses
Does anyone use Media library to store images that can be used across courses? We have just been having a play with this. But when we go to "Insert Stuff" "Media Library" then insert the image into our content. The content editor isn't recognising as an image so we can't then add alt text or mark as decorative. Is there a…

arithmetic questions: need to accept either a positive or a negative answer
Hey all, In creating an arithmetic question, I somehow need to explain to Brightspace that if the answer is, say 123, then I want either a positive (123) or a negative (-123) answers to be accepted as correct. How do I do that? For context, you might be wondering how it makes sense to accept both the negative and the…
