Re changing gradebook weights after some have been graded
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…

Is there a way to enable TurnItIn on discussion posts?
Hello! I am hoping to find a way to enable TurnItIn for discussion posts in my courses. If this is possible, could someone provide the steps to doing so? I have super admin role, so permissions are not a concern.

Gradebook - How do I?
Is there a way in the gradebook to set up an item where the students only receive the points for a specific quiz, if they receive a 98% or higher? Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

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…

Use Self-Assessment for Certificate/Awards

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.
-
Cycle through assignments to grade
I'm frustrated in being unable to simply look at an assignment and read and grade all submissions by cycling through them. For example, I choose one, read and grade, click next ungraded, read and grade, etc. The only way to do this is to either go to (1) quick eval where I have to see the assignment, grade, click back,…

Why is 'select evaluators' not available in my assignment?
By all accounts I should be able to select evaluators for an assignment, but it's light blue and cannot be clicked. I have 7 evaluators to choose from (Instructors & TAs for a merged course of multiple sections). The settings for this assignment are as such: Available and unlimited file submission and all are kept. Any one…

Textbox not allowing edits in grading tool.
When I am grading assignments in D2L if I add a textbox to make an annotation I cannot go back in and edit that textbox. It looks like it changes, but as soon as I click out of the textbox it reverts to the old information.

Formulas and activities that do not count in the final grade
I have a series of 6 quizzes in a course. The quiz scores themselves do not count into the course's final grade. However, if students earn over 70% per quiz on all six quizzes, they get a single excellence point in a numeric grade item (filled manually). I have a formula-grade item set up to count this. When I manually add…

Can auto-save (to draft) be an option for evaluations?
On several occasions, due to accidental keystrokes, session timeouts, OS crashes, and multi-tasking forgetfulness, I have lost progress because I failed to frequently click Save Draft in the process of reviewing/annotating feedback on student submissions. Other apps of this nature auto save things to prevent loss of…

Grade item different points value to MCQ
Hi there, just looking for some clarity on the following: Am I right in thinking that if I have a quiz out of 20 points and the associated grade item is out ofo 5 points that Brightspace will proportionally scale the MCQ results to the grade item? So for example: If a student gets 18 / 20 on the quiz — > Brightspace will…
