How long after the end date can a student access a class? Once end date has passed, what can a student see if they can access a class?

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

how do I block a student once they have dropped.

Alternatively, I could set it up such that a PDF is available for download only after the user completed a quiz or something.

You have an Attendance feature, however it doesn't appear to have any function: it can't be used as a Release Condition for a Quiz, for example. This would be ideal for our purposes, allowing Attendance to control access to quizzes.

After creating a course in D2L LMS and paired the content with external tool, when I try to view it as a student launching the LTI 1.3 I receive the following error. timestamp 1765531328920 status 400 error "Bad Request" exception "java.lang.NullPointerException" message 'Cannot invoke "String.toLowerCase()" because…

Hi there, Our college uses Turn it In as an AI detection tool and am wondering if there is a way to enable Turn it In on student's discussion posts? Is this something that needs to be done in the back end of our LMS? Any ideas would be appreciated! Thank you, Melanie

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.

New to me this semester, my name is now listed as a user when grading quizzes. Furthermore, when I advance throughout the quiz attempts and reach my name, I can no longer advance to the next student. Does anyone know what setting changed for me and how I can take my name off the list of users when grading quizzes and…

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…

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

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.

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.

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…
