As someone who grades large classes 60+ with more than one person grading it is helpful of the following grading features were available:

• To select more than one student ( not based on a group, or section) but based on manual selection of the student, similar to excels filter option.
• Ability to select one problem to filter for quizzes and exams ( while also maintaining the student, section or group filter) so that I can quickly get in the grove of grading ( whatever students, group or section) and one problem over and over without having to scroll to that problem each time for each student. The unevaluated feature is not super helpful for this specific issue.

Thank-you!

In the NCE students are frequently missing critical instructor directions placed in the submodule description area. When a student clicks the caret next to a submodule name, it expands the nested list view in the sidebar but does not actually navigate to the submodule’s description area. Because students view the caret as the primary way to open things, they assume they have fully opened the module and completely miss the description text rendered at the top of the main landing page.

Clicking the caret should automatically load the submodule's description area in the main frame. This would ensure students actually see the instructions, objectives, and contexts written by instructors without needing to know the exact quirk of clicking the submodule name rather than the caret.

1. Make “Untitled” placeholder text when creating a quiz.

When creating a new quiz, the title field is automatically populated with “Untitled.” Because “Untitled” is actual text rather than placeholder text, the user must first select or delete it before entering the quiz title.

An experienced user can simply double-click “Untitled” and type over it, so the inconvenience is admittedly small. But not every user knows that double-clicking selects the text. Some will click at the end of “Untitled,” delete the characters, and then type the desired title.

Why require any of this? If “Untitled” were placeholder text, the user could simply click in the field and begin typing. This would appear to require only a minor interface change, would save an unnecessary action every time a quiz is created, and would conform to familiar contemporary interface conventions. Having users manually replace default text in a basic text-entry field feels unnecessarily antiquated in 2026.

2. Automatically enable “Can Exceed” when a quiz contains bonus questions.

Brightspace allows individual quiz questions to be designated as Bonus. However, if those bonus questions cause a student's quiz score to exceed the maximum possible score, the associated grade item must also have “Can Exceed” enabled for the extra points to be reflected properly in Grades.

This creates an unnecessary disconnect between Quizzes and Grades. If I have explicitly designated questions on a quiz as Bonus, I have already told Brightspace that students may earn points beyond the ordinary maximum. I should not then have to navigate to Grades, edit the associated grade item, and separately tell Brightspace to permit exactly what I just configured the quiz to do.

Rather than making “Can Exceed” the default for every grade item, I suggest that Brightspace automatically enable it for the associated grade item whenever a quiz contains one or more questions designated as Bonus. At minimum, Brightspace could prompt the instructor: “This quiz contains bonus questions. Enable ‘Can Exceed’ for the associated grade item?”

Neither change would revolutionize Brightspace. That is precisely the point. Small, obvious reductions in unnecessary clicks and keystrokes, repeated across the many routine tasks instructors perform, could substantially improve the overall user experience.

I am curious whether there is any data available about h5p content items. I have looked into the documentation and content objects datasets, but I could not find anything. Does anyone have experience on this?

Thanks!

We are integrating an LTI 1.3 tool with D2L and have encountered an issue with Deep Linking.

For LTI 1.3 Deep Linking launched from "Insert Stuff", our Deep Linking request always contains "accept_multiple: false". Is this expected behavior, or is there a tenant or feature configuration that enables multiple item selection?

If we select and return more than one content item from our tool during the Deep Linking flow, D2L fails to load the content after returning to the LMS. A single item works fine.

Could you please let know if these are known issues with D2L or if there are any recommended configurations or workarounds?

Yours truly,

Chelsey

Can we, for instance, by using a custom CSS, define other features than the four that can be defined in the four features available in the interface/default CSS?
