Using Release Conditions for Quizzes and Other Assignments
I asked one of my classes to try accessing a quiz to see how a "release condition" works. We discovered that the students couldn't see the quiz until they had completed the reading. "From the students' perspective, they can't see the posted assignment. Therefore, they don't know it's there and cannot see the instructions…

Connecting Brightspace and SIMnet
Hello, everyone. This is for anyone using Brightspace with McGraw-Hill's SIMnet program. Previously, users were able to get into SIMnet directly from a link in Brightspace. But since SIMnet was reconfigured recently, that is no longer the case. You can still access assignments in SIMnet through a link in Brightspace, but…

Filters for My Courses Widget
Recently an updated allowed admins to modify the filter for the My Courses widget to display by term. The sort options are either A-Z or Z-A which does not work well for the way our terms are named. Is there a way to manually select the order of how the terms appear (starting with the most recent and going back in time)?…

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.

Portfolio and Assignments
Is anyone currently using Brightspace Portfolio with the assignment settings "Add Own Assignment to Portfolio" enabled?

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…

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

I would like learners to earn at least 7 of the 10 points before the next module opens. I…

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 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.

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…
