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

Are there any plans to update the Accommodations feature so that other coursework besides quizzes can be modified for students? For example, could there be an option that a student gets extra days for an assignment or discussion? We have had several faculty request this, and it would be a big time saver for them.…

Hi all, My team wants to create different paths that students can take within a single course based on their area of interest. For instance we have a School Supervisor course. The base content covers basic principles of supervision then each module splits into 2 paths: supervisors of teachers and supervisors of…

Hi, A question related to the Language Management tool. Is it possible to turn the 'submission id' into a link in the template of the 'Notification email - Assignment submission complete'? So that lecturers will be able to open the specific assignment directly from the notification email? Hope to hear from you. Thanks in…

Has anyone experienced a delay when an instructor released grades? I have run into the issue twice this semester. I know one instructor was experiencing latency issues, and the other instructor was on her personal laptop (I'm thinking maybe it needed an OS update, a browser update, or maybe they were using Edge. If anyone…

Can I upload a students paper for originality as an instructor?

Quick Eval Activities is not showing an assignment that students have submitted. Although the assignment appears under submissions. I looked into the 3 dots on Quick Eval for dismissed activities, but there were only two activities that are listed (not the activity listed on the submission page). Currently I am using the…

We are troubleshooting a gradebook issue tied to a third-party LTI (FlatWorld) after multiple course copies/imports due to issues with course material/book, and I’m hoping to confirm the best cleanup approach without impacting existing student grades. Situation: • The original LTI links worked correctly in a previous term.…

I cannot find videos that will show me how to modify documents. When my course was moved to Brightspace, several handouts became PDFs and I can't seem to be able to replace them with new content. Where are videos?
