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?

Flag imported questions that don't work?
I'm discovering that many (maybe most) of the thousands of questions I have created in moodle do not import properly into brighspace. By that, I mean they don't work. Most classes of questions, in fact, don't work. And there is no clear, on-by-default way to know that after importing. Brightspace cheerfully tells me it has…

Team-based quizzes?
Can Brightspace do team-based quizzes (as in team-based learning, or TBL)? This would involve having one quiz attempt active, with scores applied to each person in a group. With Blackboard and Moodle I did this by having each team (5-10 students) choose one member as the quiz-taker of record (QTOR, I guess), then The QTOR…

Where can I find the Criterion ID and Levels Ids for a rubric I created?
I have created a rubric with only two levels: Perfect (the photo uploaded in the assignment has content) and Unacceptable (the photo uploaded in the assignment is blank). I used a Holistic rubric because I just wanted to use a single criterion (content or no content) for this type of assignment. This is the code I wrote in…

New variables in arithmetic questions for each new attempt
When using the arithmetic questions in a quiz with multiple attempts, the same variables appeared each time. In the preview, different variables appear, but when completing the test as a student (ie professor status changed to student) the variables remained the same. We are aware that new variables can be generated for…

Competency assessment type
Can competencies be linked to an assessment type other than rubric or numeric? I've experimented with adding some pass/fail grade items to my gradebook; however the competency structure tool only shows numeric and rubric as possible grade types. Can any other grade item types be used?

Access Previous Course Submissions
Is there a way to access previously taken courses (and now ended) submissions? I am looking for a document in my Drive that I cannot find that was submitted Fall 2023 for a course.

Can't delete items from gradebook
I have several items that made their way into a course gradebook unintentionally and I am unable to delete them. I have been able to delete other items successfully from the gradebook in the 'manage grades' page; however, some of the items are greyed out, and can't be selected for delete (image below). The strange thing…

How do I generate/download user content progress report?
I am an instructor. I would like to find out which students have been visiting which pages in my Brightspace course. I can access this information in two ways: For an individual student, I click "Roster" and then select "View progress" from the drop-down menu next to the student's name. I then click "Content" and navigate…

D2L quiz release working for some students, not all
I set up a quiz with the release conditions to visit lecture materials/modules. All students have visited the right materials at this point, but only some students can see the quiz. I've checked the release conditions, checked that students have visited the right content, so I don't understand why D2L isn't showing them…
