Is there a way to manage which External Learning tools appear within the "Add Existing" page?
In the New Content Experience, when you select "Add Existing" a page opens that looks like the below. I'm wondering if there is any way to change which tools appear as the "top 3" on this page. We have very few faculty members who use Niche Academy and Perusall, but many who use our other external learning tools. It would…

Clicks to get to grading
Anyone know the fastest/easiest way to get to the grading in your course?

Non-Graded (Auditing) Student Options
Hello - I am a systems administrator for an online university. I have been looking for a way to allow some students to audit a course while others are taking it for a grade. In these cases, the student would enroll to access the content, but would not engage or be graded. Currently, our rubric is set up so that a student…

Unit header
Hello everyone! I'm trying to find out if there is a way to be able to amend the 'unit' title? ideally we want the title to be in a coloured banner but changing the font colour would also be an option. Using this to illustrate as an example; the 'Programme Overview' would be in a blue banner. I've tried copying source HTML…

Why is the Accessibility checker not ignoring an element?
Hello, I have a professor who created a packaged OER textbook and shares it via the HTML pages on Brightspace. The issue is that when he is using the Accessibility Checker, it flags the figure caption for not having enough contrast since it's light gray. Here's the code he's using: <figure><img…

Discover Tool - What do you call it?
Hello, Out of curiosity what do other organisations call the "discover" tool on the nav bars. We are using this for optional modules that our users can self enroll onto, any mandatory courses we enroll them. Calling it "Discover" seems misleading and to me sounds like a search to find either all your courses you have, or…

Best Practices for SCORM File Management During Course Copying?
Hi D2L Community, We're troubleshooting SCORM file management & data reporting in Brightspace and are looking for some insights into your practices. Currently, we copy entire course sites, including SCORM files, each semester. We've recently learned that this process causes SCORM data records to accumulate within the same…

Embed SCORM in an HTML page
Hi all I may be missing something obvious - is there a way to embed a SCORM package within a page with the new SCORM upload method? I want to add some context rather than have it as a standalone item. With the old method of uploading SCORM there were workarounds to use an iframe tag to embed the index.html file, but the…

View assignment mark history?
I am looking for a way to see a detailed mark history log for an assignment for a specific student. I want to know when and by who an assignment was marked, with all the details of each revision (mark, feedback, rubric). And also by who and when the mark was published. So far I have found the Submission Log (very useful!)…

How to understand the setting up in a matching question
I am attempting to create a matching question in a test. I do not understand all of the windows for the setup. Do you have a thorough discussion of how to set up a matching question with eight components? Or do I need to create matching questions with just one image?

Start dates and calendar events
We have an educator who is setting start dates for making lecture content available to cut down on manual work (making things visible later on). However, this is now creating calendar events that are likely to confuse students. They may think the lecture is on that date, when it is just content being released. We would…

Accessibility report animation
I am typing a description for a module. As I type, the 'accessibility monitor' animates, like a speedometer. it is distracting. How can i turn this off? Also, a frowny face emoji consistently shows up next to a document I have scanned in as a resource for students. This is distracting (and, kind-of rude, towards me). How…

Progress tracker
Hi everyone, We’re using the Creator+ package, and we’ve built our content using HTML and Brightspace — not SCORM. I was wondering if there’s a way for learners to automatically start from the exact page they left off when they click on a module. Right now, they can see the progress bar and track their progress in more…

Survey Questions - Mandatory vs Optional?
I've manually created a survey in D2L for my students (I am not using the question library). However, I can’t find the setting to make one of my survey questions non-mandatory (ie optional) for my students… Any ideas, folks? Thanks in advance! James
