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

Hi, a question related to announcements. When a new announcement is created in our Brigthspace production environment the start date time differs from the actual time. In our test environment the start date time corresponds with the actual time. I noticed that there's a difference in the Region - ServerTimezone settings. I…

Hi everyone, I am troubleshooting an issue for an instructor who is seeing an error message in the course banner area on the Course Home page. The issue appears to be specific to the instructor’s regular Chrome browser: The error appears in Chrome. The error does not appear in Microsoft Edge. The error does not appear when…

so this question is imputted by clicking the "+" option, then selected equation, and then graphical equation. So it's not a copy paste issue. No student is going to take the time to figure this out. Most of my schools see it correctly, but a couple don't. We've tried changing from 150 to 125 all the way down to 70. All it…

We recently moved to a new standardized course homepage that does not include the Updates widget. One of our instructors relied on that widget to see when students had submitted assignments, quizzes, or discussion posts. Without it, she is wondering whether there is another way for instructors to easily see new submissions…

I am a coordinator of Math , how can I create channel coordination to add my colleague like teams

Hello Brightspace Community: Does anybody have a document or a link to how their faculty sync grades from ATI Nursing exams back to Brightspace? Thanks! Chris

Hi, Whenever I insert an H5P element on a page, a "If this content appears unavailable, open [element name] in a new tab" appears at the bottom, but the spacing seems to be off, so the rows of text overlap a little. Is there a way to fix that?

There should be a way to block specific types of files like HEIC or pages.

We have been asked to audit all of our section offerings to see if an instructor has been enrolled. Is there a quick way to print or access this information

I asked one of my classes to try accessing a quiz to see how a "release condition" works. We discovered that the students couldn't see the quiz until they had completed the reading. "From the students' perspective, they can't see the posted assignment. Therefore, they don't know it's there and cannot see the instructions…

Hello, everyone. This is for anyone using Brightspace with McGraw-Hill's SIMnet program. Previously, users were able to get into SIMnet directly from a link in Brightspace. But since SIMnet was reconfigured recently, that is no longer the case. You can still access assignments in SIMnet through a link in Brightspace, but…

Recently an updated allowed admins to modify the filter for the My Courses widget to display by term. The sort options are either A-Z or Z-A which does not work well for the way our terms are named. Is there a way to manually select the order of how the terms appear (starting with the most recent and going back in time)?…

Hello Brightspace Community, We are using Brightspace Portfolios for the first time this semester and are currently setting up our portfolio workflow. Our intended workflow is: Students submit an assignment in Brightspace. The instructor assesses the assignment. The student adds the assessed assignment to their portfolio.…

Is it possible to set up a separate set of metadata for each Learning Object Repository (LOR)? So for LOR A we want Metadata A to be filled in and for LOR B we want Metadata B (with different fields) to be filled in. You can select a different view and fill it in via 'Edit metadata' during publishing, but if you click…

Is anyone currently using Brightspace Portfolio with the assignment settings "Add Own Assignment to Portfolio" enabled? I'm testing this option and am not seeing any difference in the student submission experience. From the student's perspective, the assignment submission process appears unchanged. If you've used either of…

Hi D2L Community, CMCC already uses Brightspace as our LMS. I recently spoke with CMCC’s Instructional Designer (Natalee S.) to inquire if there were supported ways to make Brightspace Rubrics faster to create/build for instructors and institutions. What I’m trying to do: Create new Brightspace analytic rubrics from an…

I want to create a survey with dropdown boxes instead of, for example, a Likert scale. Is there any way to do that? I have been looking, but not seeing it anywhere.

Because of security concerns I have regarding learners' capabilities in the internal email system, we were wondering if there's a way to do the following: Restrict a role's ability to send emails to non-Brightspace users (e.g., an external email address when said email address isn't attached to a user in Brightspace).…

Is there a way to hide courses from the my home, or segmented course links? For instance, my institution has shells for our yearly trainings, but it is hard to keep track of which still need to be completed and which have been completed. I'd like to hide the ones I'm done with! Anyone have any ideas?

Is it possible to setup a release condition on a module based on a calculated or formula field in a gradebook? I may have a situation where for example an instructor would want 5 small assignments worth 2 points each in one module. I would like learners to earn at least 7 of the 10 points before the next module opens. I…
