Our course offerings all have corresponding course sections as children. We use IPSIS to enroll from the SIS. Our script enrolls both faculty and students to the course section of the parent course offering. We don't explicitly enroll anyone to the course offering, itself. However, I have found that any time a Faculty role…

Can you link this interactive to the grade book so students can get a score for answering the questions?

Hello Brightspace Community, I am conducting a retrospective learning analytics study and would appreciate clarification on which Brightspace Data Sets (BDS) can be exported for research use. I am only interested in de-identified, historical data (no live course access or content). Specifically, I would like to confirm the…

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…

We're exploring the use of replace strings in Brightspace certificates. Apart from the replace strings here Create a Custom Certificate that uses Replace Strings - Brightspace, are there other replace strings we can use for Awards?

I am manually grading written answers for final exams for four classes. I classified the exams as Quizzes. When I was grading the exams for one class, Brightspace entered every grade as a 100 even though I deducted points from many students' answers. The other three classes are working properly. Please advise how I should…

Hello Brightspace Community, We are currently analyzing the Grades Report, and we are trying to break down the unique number of grades received overall by Majors, Years of Study etc. Wondering if there are any tips or templates for pivot tables in Excel. Thanks in advance!!

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

For just one student in my class, the "drop lowest grade" option is not dropping the lowest grade (it is dropping a 75 when there is also a 0), I have many students where it is working fine, so I'm not seeing where it is my error. I have another student whose grades are very similar (2nd lowest grade is on same assignment…

I need to create a CSV from a D2L course classlist. How do I do that

Hi everyone, This is the process I use to set up a new course offering based on a template. I'm having problems with the occasional documents where the permissions don't seem to be consistent across all users, and I can't work out where to change them either in the template or the offering. Hope this makes sense: Settings…

When viewing a student's Final Calculated Grade breakdown, the individual grade item contributions (shown as "X / Y% of final grade") add up to a different total than the Final Calculated Grade displayed at the top. For the gradebook I am working on, the displayed Final Calculated Grade is one percentage point lower than…

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
