Can't view attachments to surveys

Restrictions - Sections - Display configurations
Hello D2L community, We created a course but now we want to know how to more effectively restrict our audience to access certain content. We need to grade each user individually, but we have different modules inside the course (3) with scorm objects from which we take grades for quizzes. However, we also have a guide…

When I go to classlist, select the arrow and choose for students' names to be listed in alphabetical order from either last or first, only a few names are listed in order and the rest are not. Is this an issue that's been reported before? Is there a way for me to resolve this on my end?

Virtual Classroom Attendance

I do not see a menu bar at the top of for instance pdf or office files when added as content pages
Hi, I noticed that recently (I can't quite remember when) I don't see a menu bar anymore when vieuwing pdf or Office files in Brightspace. There used to be a menu bar at the top, as shown in the following image. But now I don't see it anymore. Is this feature or a bug? Perhaps a Brightspace update removed that menu bar.…

Adding a note and notification to an updated file
Hello, Is it possible to add a note to an updated file so that students can see a brief description of what was updated? I'm guessing this can be done with the new Description box feature in NCE, but can it be done in a way so that students receive a notification when a new version of a file is updated? Thanks, Yildiz

Has anyone hosted live events with their students (i.e trivia quizzes for socialisation purposes)?
I'm exploring the idea of hosting live events on our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) to enhance social interaction and engagement rather than focusing solely on assessing course content knowledge. I’m curious if others have experience with this or are implementing something similar. What platform or video conferencing…

Trying to determine cumulative grade
I have been reading the posts about final grades and viewed the video, but I think I may be missing something. I want the cumulative grade "so far" to appear BUT the grades I'm seeing seems to be calculated on the work done so far, divided by the points of the assignments completed. For example: Why isn't the denominator…

Survey - Reports Generation and Editing
Hello D2L community, We have recently opened a new module in our D2L course shell, and as a part of this learning journey, we have set up surveys.

Assignment submission receipt email
Hi everyone, I’ve noticed that Brightspace sends an automatic email to learners every time they submit an assignment, even though I didn’t add an email address in the Notification Email field when setting up the assignments. I would like to stop this automatic submission receipt email but still want learners to receive…

Regarding Shuffling Questions and Sections
From the documentation I read, when creating quizzes with Sections, the main Shuffle Questions setting under the "Timing & Display" should not affect questions within a Section however when I previewed, the questions within/under the section were also shuffled as well as the section title. Perhaps I'm not associating the…

MIDI files
We have a robust Music Industry Careers, Management, etc. department at my institution and they have asked about how to upload MIDI files into Brightspace. I don't see it as a supported file type anywhere and was curious about what others may be doing to support these types of courses.
