Create - Set up your Brightspace course

Need detailed instructions please for copying existing course into new semester place

I want to ask if there is a way to create multiple case scenarios in Brightspace. For example, if there are 8 case scenarios and each scenario includes 8 questions, can Brightspace randomly select just one scenario out of the six? Also, where should the case scenario text be placed within Brightspace?

I've copied text from word to my Brightspace module space. I changed the font and size to match that I've written direct, but the lines are very close together, where Brightspace text is more spaced out, There doesn't seem to be a line spacing option in the paragraph section of the bar at the top - how do I increase line…

I would like to view an actual course so I can see what it looks like and how it functions.

Hello D2L Community, We usually upload our content pages to the Learning Repository (LOR) to be able to manage content pages across multiple course offerings. When we are making new iterations of the course, we often copy the content from the past to edit. Is it possible to copy WITHOUT copying the metadata? We often need…

Created learning modules by uploaded videos created in Microsoft Teams using the Media Library and "optimize for streaming." While the videos play and can be paused users can’t fast-forward, which is a problem for learners who only need to review specific sections of the video. Additionally, videos created as a new unit…

I use the D2L/Brightspace attendance register feature for my in-person courses. Is there any way to set up the attendance register so it has a "freeze panes" feature similar to the gradebook spreadsheet? For example, a semester-long course would have many attendance days. If I want to check the attendance totals at the end…

Hi everyone! We're new to Brightspace and getting our feet wet in developing courses and adding content. I would like to add a video within a page in my course, so that I can embed it between paragraph language (rather than have a standalone video page like I currently do - screenshot below). When I use the "Insert Stuff"…

I had the following unfortunate experience today. I wanted to better understand how to import and export grades. So I tried to use my sandbox course to create a dummy grade list. To get a grade list I need students in my course. I discovered that I can only add people who actually exist in my organization. I did not want…

If a student is exempted from submitting an assignment (including bulk exemptions), why does the assignment condition still recognize the exempt status yet prevent the student from progressing to the next activity? Currently, students must upload a blank or “dummy” submission in order for the system to allow them to move…

Kia ora, we are setting up a course in Brightspace and want to hide certain events in the calendar (it is getting quite cluttered). However, when using the Manage Dates tool, the option to hide these events in the calendar is greyed out: Is there a way to fix this? It is worth noting that elsewhere in the Manage Dates tool…

Hi . As system admin, I would like to limit the number of tiles displayed in the Visual Table of Content. Currently the vaule is 12, which takes up quite a lot of screen space. I cannot see any where in the documentation that it is possible to set a custom value. Does anyone know otherwise?

I have selected content from one course that I would like to regulary export into 7 other courses on a weekly basis and I would love to save the time of going into each course and copying and importing one by one.

Dear Brightspace Community, We are the new adaptors of the D2L Brightspace LMS. We will be creating our courses soon but we would like to know if there are any templates for the courses in the system that we could use initially. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Rakesh

Hi all, Is there anyway to re-order how awards are presented (that isnt alphabetical!). Basically I have a Bronze, Silver and Gold award, but they are listed as Bronze then Gold then Silver. Thanks in advance!

In Classic Experience— I have some assignments that are already linked to the Grade Book. I've noticed that if I edit the title of the Assignment, the title isn't automatically updated in the Grade Book. I have to edit the title in the Grade Book as an additional step. Is this correct? To try to get around this I tried…

My biggest challenge is organizing course pages so students know what to expect and can easily find information. Are there any helpful videos or tutorials that address this?

Hello! I am a new Brightspace user. In my previous LMS, I had a resources folder with many links to various youtube videos, websites, and other 3rd party resources. Then, under the module for a given Week, I would add a Course Link to the items in the Resources folder that were relevant to that week. This worked awesome -…

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…
