The Drawing tool during inline evaluations has started making rectangles and won't stop
I've already used the inline evaluation tool to mark up several of my students' assignments. But now the Drawing Tool makes vector rectangles and nothing else. When I place a point to draw, it is the origin of a rectangle. The highlighter tool still works as intended (freeform lines/drawing). Even when I go back to old…

Glitch in the comment tool?
Hi. I frequently use the comment "bubble" in D2L when providing feedback on students' papers. For the past couple of months, I've noticed that when I click on the bubble in the toolbar (see below), locate it on the document I'm evaluating, and immediately start to type, the cursor jumps back to the start position while I'm…

Can I change the maximum points of a gradebook item after submissions have been graded? Currently for one assignment, the maximum points is set to 100, but I actually need it to be 15(%). How can I do this? Thank you!

leaving quizzes open so students can see their submission
I should not have to leave a quiz open (visible) for students to see the questions and answers on their submission. Their answers should be in their grades entirely separate from their access to quiz attempts.

text submission locked
Teachers are finding that sometimes they accidently set an assignment to "text submission" vs "file submission" and once they have had a submission, they can no longer change that option. Which in my experience to change that one setting means I need to copy the assignment, delete the old one and manually update any marks…

Link to multiple separate grade items
Is there a way to have an assignment link to multiple separate grade items? For example, I'd like to be able to assess an assignment using a rubric that has multiple criteria groups, such as Thinking and Application, and then have those go in as two different grade items.

Review a student's self-assessment
As an instructor I want to view a student's self-assessment. This seems not possible. Why is that? Or am I missing something? Basically I want to create a course or lessen 'check in' to see how my students feel about themselves regarding their course progress with the help of different kind of question (types). A quiz…

Print submitted quiz attempt to PDF?
One of our faculty needs to print a submitted quiz attempt for an in-person review with a student. Brightspace doesn't offer an in-house option for exporting this to a usable format and the browser Print to PDF function results in parts of some questions/answer selections being covered by the navigation interface at the…

Where are the new question types?
While I was interested to read about the "Release of the New Quiz Evaluation Experience", I was disappointed to see no related plans to improve the range of question types available on the platform or the workflows required to create them. In fact, with the removal of support for Ordering and Matching, the update now…

Can I preview a quiz as student to confirm that it's available and working?
Students are emailing me telling me they cannot see the quiz. I review the quiz and notice that it's hidden. That makes sense, because I was working on this quiz and forgot to unhie it. But now I want to make sure that it's actually available and working for the students. How do I do that? When I preview as student there…

Downloading marked rubrics and inline comments + marking PowerPoint presentations
I have a few questions with this query. I have an academic who didn't know about setting up groups for group assignments. So only one student in a group is submitting. This means the other students in the group will not see any feedback or the marked rubric. We do have a solution but to make it less cumbersome, I told her…

Brightspace activity evaluation pages not loading properly in new tabs
For the sake of speed and efficiency while grading, I would like to be able to open multiple "Activity Evaluation" pages in separate tabs. When I try to do this, however, the pages do not load properly. Here is an example what an improperly loaded page looks like: The problem seems to occur only when the page is not…

How do I create a quiz with 8 out of 10 questions to choose from?
I have an academic who has 10 long answer questions and students only need to choose 8. One option is creating an assignment but there is a strict time limit. Another option is a quiz but not sure if bonus questions is the only option? It is tricky because it is a final exam tied to the gradebook so possible marks need to…

Unable to Automatically Regrade Arithmetic Question
I believe I already know the answer but it helps to receive confirmation. The following is hypothetical but based almost completely on what just happened in my course. Let's say I created a quiz with an arithmetic question. Students are given the weekend to complete it. Halfway through the weekend I discover that there is…

How can I change the submission receipt email template?
I would like to modify the submission receipt email template. Is it possible to make changes to it? Additionally, is there a way to bulk add or edit assignment email notifications? If a course has 50 assignments, it takes a lot of time to edit each one individually to add or remove notifications.
