For example, if you attach a release condition to a discussion topic requiring learners to achieve more than 60% on a quiz…

How long does D2L retain statistical data?
We are exploring the reports in the Data Hub in greater detail and were wondering how far back does the data go in time? Back in our old Blackboard Original system, we could only get data as far back as 180 days from the present day so it wasn't all that helpful for assessing long-term trends. Data Hub and Analytics…

Gradebook: How do I specify "blank" or "no grade" as the result of a formula?
I'm using the "formula" style of gradebook template, because none of the others offer the flexibility I need. Getting Brightspace to handle blank grades reasonably with this system has not worked out so far. The "don't include blanks in averages" setting does not appear to apply to formulas, which tend to throw an error if…

How are you applying late penalties for late assignment submission?
Hi everyone, Given that an automatic late penalty is not a feature in Brightspace (and not gaining much traction in PIE), I am curious how other institutions/organisations are currently applying deductions for late submission penalties, please? Mostly, our academics are calculating this manually, but this is time-consuming…

Creator+ practice questions in elements
Hi everyone - I'm working with a faculty member who wants to put the Creator+ practice questions inside a carousel so students can flip through them. I'm not seeing a way to do this in the carousel element setup itself - the text options don't seem to include an option to put in Creator+ practice questions, or to include…

Arithmetic Questions, Precision, and Tolerance
I have an Arithmetic Question with Answer Precision set to 0 with enforce precision set to False, and with Tolerance for units set to 0.75. The correct answer is -44.423. My expectation is that any answer + or - 0.75 from that is within the tolerance. Which gives us the range from -43.673 to -45.173. Furthermore, since the…

How can a Course Home module be force-applied across an organization's Brightspace environment?
My institution is working to create a consistent Brightspace experience for learners.

To try and get all Brightspace courses on the same page, faculty were given a…
