These avenues offer courses and articles about accessibility to enhance accessibility knowledge and a group of accessibility enthusiasts to stay connected with.

We have courses going back to 2015 and would like to be able to archive the majority of them. I know about the archive feature in the Courses tool, however, you are limited to 50 at a time. I've tried to archive a semester via the Org Unit Editor, but it requires that all the courses within that semester be archived first,…

Hi all, We're exploring ways to streamline course merges in Brightspace and are curious if anyone has successfully implemented a faculty self-service merge process that: Allows instructors to self-serve merges Enforces a controlled naming convention for merged courses Does not interfere with enrollment or grade pushback…

I need to obtain a list of all courses and their Brightspace id numbers but I cannot seem to find a way to do this.

When I upload a bunch of documents to a unit in Brightspace, the items all default to invisible to students. After the documents have been uploaded, I have to select each document one at a time and click the visibility toggle button for each uploaded file. Is is possible to automatically make items visible when they…

When I upload a batch of pdf documents, all of them are invisible to students (as can be seen in the attached screenshot). Is there a way to make them all visible at once rather than having to select each document one at a time and click the visibility button?

Hi All! We have a support team, and we'd like to allow them to create Sandbox courses only. Has anyone found a way to limit them to just creating courses in a specific Sandbox Department or Semester?

Hello, I am trying to isolate the max score for rubric at the rubric criteria level. I initially grabbed the max 'value' from the 'RubricCriteriaLevels' dataset (grouped by criterionID), but when I joined that to RubricAssessmentCriteria, I found that some assessed criteria did not exist in the RubricCriteriaLevels table…

Is there a way to move files and/or rename folders in Manage Files without breaking links on content pages?

I am an admin in the D2L system. We have a sandbox course configured for Discover for self-enrollments for professors and admins. It is active and marked for Discover. However, going to the Self Registration tab for the course offerings there, it isn't displayed at all. On the Discover page, it is not displayed under New…

If I have a quiz written on my office computer in msWord format, how do I upload the entire set of questions in the file into a quiz?

Background: I am assisting with creating a Brightspace for a summer research internship program. The course requirements are more of a completion mark than a grade. Students who complete the course activities receive a cocurricular record credit (extra-curricular activities that wouldn't appear on an academic transcript).…

How do I "Throw out" a questions and adjust scores for all students?

Hello, I'm trying to find if there's a way to make changes to a course shell offline. If I export a brightspace package, is there a platform, program, or method to make changes to the course without internet access or the ability to log into D2L and making the changes directly? For example, could I manage dates or…

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows what might be causing this. *I'm not able to see it myself this time* but at least a couple of instructors have said that when they open the Tools menu, the drop-down box is "shaking." I remember seeing pages shake or flicker a couple of years ago, but that went away when I reloaded them.…

Hi there, I am assisting with creating a Brigthspace page for a summer research program. Undergraduate students are required to complete 4 professional development sessions synchronously or asynchronously. It is a "choose your own adventure" pass/fail completion mark. The asynchronous sessions are hosted in VoiceThreads. I…

I have a lecturer who has tried exporting a lesson in one course to then reimport as a SCORM into another course on Brightspace. We've been having challenges with ensuring the content is exported and re-imported accurately. We did notice that H5P links in the SCORM always break while exporting and don't display correctly…

I have a professor that is looking for a way to automate the taking of attendance data, without manually entering it for each student (class is about 50) Thanks, Len

Working in a professional setting I'm keen for people to reflect on learning materials. I don't want to push them to a discussion as their reflection may feel vulnerable and it's not something I want to mark as a quiz or assessment. What are my options?

One of our instructors let me know that when using the new feature that let's you set an initial due date for discussion posts it marks all the posts after that due date as late, including the follow up response posts. We were under the impression that the initial due date was so that professors could make students post…

Just recently, I found I am unable to scroll in my Brightspace gradebooks. I'm sure I clicked on something. Thanks Cheryl
