The Accessibility category serves as a single point of access to three avenues in Brightspace Community leading to the Accessibility Academy, Accessibility Library and Accessibility Discussions. These avenues offer courses and articles about accessibility to enhance accessibility knowledge and a group of accessibility enthusiasts to stay connected with.

Raising this to see if there are new alternative methods I may not be aware of to export Class Progress % or show it in Grades. Context: We would like to track and export the class progress % of students in the course, and would be good if we can see it in the Grade book for ease. Currently, the class progress in the GUI…

I'm new to Brightspace. How can you tell if content is a page, a PPT, a Word file, or a PDF? It seems difficult to tell.

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…

Is there a way to find out which videos across our instance have had auto-captioning applied, or which ones haven't, or both? This would be very helpful for us for improving accessibility and ensuring compliance with our institutional digital accessibility policy. Sarah

Is there a way through the GUI? Or is the only way through the datasets?

Hello, how can I delete an assignment. I am allowing the student to resubmit and not be graded on what she originally submitted. There used to be a way last year under Eval, now I can't find it. Thank you.

When I setup my own grade scheme e.g. Pass/Fail, can I have it show the scores in percentage as well? At the moment, it just gives me the absolute scores. Thank you.

I recently discovered that when the Section Title or Section Text is changed in the Question Library, the updates do not carry over to any Quizzes where that section is used. Similarly, if the text is edited directly within a Quiz, the changes do not sync back to the Question Library. This behaviour is different from how…

I've added content for Welcome windows to a couple of courses. I followed the instructions, adding a module called "Welcome" to the Content (hidden from students), then added a new page to that with the info to be shown in the window. Then when I try it as an Admin, it looks correct. But when I either impersonate a Learner…

Some of our users are experiencing difficulties when accessing their course on a mobile phone or iPad. We are using the New Content Experience in Brightspace. A few issues they’ve reported include: Not seeing the Next and Previous arrows, or only seeing them partially Not seeing the ReadSpeaker (screen reader) bar at the…

I have added Learning Outcomes to a course and have connected different outcomes to different assignments. Each of the assignments has a rubric however I can't attach the rubric (greyed out). I disabled the Competencies tool as directed in order to use the Learning Outcomes tool, however now I am reading that in order to…

I'm using Articulate Rise and publishing the SCORMS as SCORM 2004, 4th Edition using 'Track using course completion as 100%" and reporting as "complete/incomplete". When adding the SCORM to BrightSpace, I select "New SCORM/xAPI Object", opt for it to open in new window, select 'no' for wanting a grade item (we use a…

When offering several sections of a course with TAs and common assessments with a short answer/essay question, is there an easy way to produce a report that shows: the grader, the assigned grade on that item (not the average as is show in the statistics under Manage Quizzes) across all the sections? If not, is there an…

Hello, Our syllabus acknowledgement quiz will be pass/fail and should not be calculated into the final grade. I do not have the "Exclude for Final Grade Calculation" option that is on the right side of the screen. Is there a way to enable this?

Hello everyone. I new to the community. This is my first post. I noticed since the recent update to the Admin Tool, I can't SAVE the "Configure Widget". I need to change the Module Title, but it doesn't change after I save it. -Richard

I know that D2L/Brightspace made the decision to improve the grade book performance by forcing a limit on the number of students displayed per page. However, di anyone consider that I would prefer poorer performance over not seeing all of my students grades all at once? If you wanted to make this the de3fault setting, that…
