Median for aggregating grades
Is there any easy way to use the median rather than the mean/average as the aggregation for a group of grades? Median is not even one of the functions available if you add a formula item to the gradebook, so I cannot add a formula or calculated column to use. I just want to get to the point I can say here are X number of…

Opening file submissions
When grading assignments, is there a way to have the assignment submission automatically open when moving between student submissions vs. clicking the file to open each time. For this course in particular students have to submit in .pdf format, so when trying to grade submissions for numerous students at a time, I find you…

Is a late deduction option for quizzes or assignments being developed?
I am aware that late assignments completed after a due date but before an end date are flagged. However, will an automatic deduction function be developed in the future for late quizzes or assignments? Has this been considered? This function is available in Canvas and publisher products such as Pearson Mastering.

Changing value of question in a quiz after writing
I've done all the logical things to make this happen, and it seems like such a simple issue is unfixable at present. One of my quizzes has a question valued at 5 points but it should have been 30. It appears it's impossible to correct this for anyone who has written the quiz. It boggles my mind that something so simple is…

Intelligent Agents - Feedback
Hello, I would like to implement a feature where an email is sent to the corresponding user when feedback is posted regarding his/her submission. I know there is a condition for this ("Receives feedback for submission folder: …"), but I would like to know if there is a way in which the message can contain the feedback…

Dynamic Quizzes?
Hi everyone, We have an instructor who would like to see some dynamic quizzing functionality in Brightspace D2L.

How does one change the grade type (numberic vs. dropdown selections) on an assignment?
I have already created assignments and created grade items for them. I would like to change the assignment grading from numeric to be able to select from a drop down menu based on a grading scheme that I have already created. How do I do this?

Has there been a change to GRADES weights?
I have set up my GRADES to drop ungraded items. Recently I noticed a change as all of my students grades were suddenly either very low or too high. I discovered that I had graded one item from the next grade category. This category is worth 20% of the overall course mark. The one item that I graded was worth 1.5% of that…

Rubric Overall Score
Is there a way to remove/hide the "Overall Score" section from a Rubric? It seems redundant given that students can already see their total score, and the Gradebook already translates that score to a letter grade, or P/NP as applicable, for each assessment. Or alternatively, is there a way to put an equation in that'll…

Keep students in LDB between quiz attempts
Is there a way to keep a student in the LDB during a quiz with multiple attempts? In a quiz of this structure, students can access their computer, their notes and the web during the exam time. Perhaps there is a strategy we are not aware of.

Anonymous participation in a survey
Hi D2L Community, I am setting up a survey in my course. I would like to make it an anonymous survey, but I would also like to offer a prize to the respondents. I am aware that anonymous surveys can be set up on Brightspace. However, I am not sure if survey responses are anonymous, will I be able to know who has responded…

Formula grade items - weighted?
I'm trying to create a gradebook item that gives the maximum of two other grades, and this new grade should be worth 30% of the course grade. So far, I am suspecting that formula items can't be given weights in BS's weighted grading system, and this seems to result in this item being completely ignored in my course grades…

Delayed feedback
I'd like to be able to delay showing correct/incorrect responses to a question until the learner has attempted a quiz/question a set number of times. This would let me give them feedback after they've given honest effort without immediately showing the answer. Does anyone know how to do this?
