Navigating Away and Back to Content - Not Holding Previous Location
I have a faculty member who noticed in NCE that when they navigate away from Content (say, over to grades) and then select Content again, it no longer goes back to where they were in the Content. "In the new version of D2L, whenever I open Content, it takes me back to the beginning of the table of contents. In the old…

Configure metadata in separate LOR's
Is it possible to set up a separate set of metadata for each Learning Object Repository (LOR)? So for LOR A we want Metadata A to be filled in and for LOR B we want Metadata B (with different fields) to be filled in. You can select a different view and fill it in via 'Edit metadata' during publishing, but if you click…

Portfolio and Assignments
Is anyone currently using Brightspace Portfolio with the assignment settings "Add Own Assignment to Portfolio" enabled? I'm testing this option and am not seeing any difference in the student submission experience. From the student's perspective, the assignment submission process appears unchanged.

Any way to create questions with dropdown boxes in quizzes and surveys?
I want to create a survey with dropdown boxes instead of, for example, a Likert scale. Is there any way to do that? I have been looking, but not seeing it anywhere.

Bulk-create Brightspace analytic rubrics by importing CSV/Excel/Word (instead of manual copy/paste)
Hi D2L Community, CMCC already uses Brightspace as our LMS. I recently spoke with CMCC’s Instructional Designer (Natalee S.) to inquire if there were supported ways to make Brightspace Rubrics faster to create/build for instructors and institutions. What I’m trying to do: Create new Brightspace analytic rubrics from an…

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…

Is it possible for me to respond privately to a student's Discussion post without approving the post
I use Discussions for students to post answers to reading questions. I moderate the posts and approve them after they're due. The goal is for students to be able to refer to their classmates answers to study for tests. But I'd like to be able to privately respond to students' answers. I can't do that on approved or…

Suggestions for Product Idea Exchange (bad linked rn)
Is there a way to hide courses from the my home, or segmented course links? For instance, my institution has shells for our yearly trainings, but it is hard to keep track of which still need to be completed and which have been completed. I'd like to hide the ones I'm done with! Anyone have any ideas?

Release Condition with Calculated or Formula Grade Item
Is it possible to setup a release condition on a module based on a calculated or formula field in a gradebook? I may have a situation where for example an instructor would want 5 small assignments worth 2 points each in one module. I would like learners to earn at least 7 of the 10 points before the next module opens. I…

Is there a way to view the quiz question scores of a class at a glance?
Let's say I have a class of 20 who attempted a quiz with 5 questions. Is there any way in Brightspace to see a table or something that shows me, at a glance, the scores each student obtained for each question? Basically something like Grades/Gradebook but for a quiz and its questions. Thank you.

Naming of Sections from SIS
We are brand new to D2L. We have painfully discovered that our section naming from our SIS is not helpful to faculty when sending emails from the Message Alerts tool. Same experience when trying to publish Kaltura to a course. I would like to know what others are doing with their sections. Thanks, Tonya

Is an achievement scale required before instructors can create and align course outcomes?
We are beginning to test the Learning Outcomes (Standards) tool and have not yet created an organization-level achievement scale. Does an achievement scale need to be in place before instructors can create, import, and align outcomes in their courses, or is it only required once they begin assessing student achievement? I…

Quizzes not showing in Content until available date even though they aren't hidden
On the Quizzes page, future quizzes are listed for the students and they can click on them and see the description. However, when adding them into Content using Add Existing, the quiz does not show for students until the 'Available on' date. How can we enable future quizzes to be shown in Content for the students?

Copying a course with an Edpuzzle Assignment
Hi Community, When a course is copied with an EdPuzzle assignment, it seems like each assignment has to be deleted and recreated, as the old link is pointing to a different class. Besides deleting all the old asssignments and recreating everything, is there a better method that I should be using? thanks! Chris

Importing H5P elements to a new course
I cannot find documentation or instructions on this site or H5P's site for how to import into a new course. Does this mean the item is made and has to be uploaded from the Insert Stuff>H5P>upload option? If someone could explain, I'd really appreciate it!
