I wrote a post on a new thread, saved it to draft. How can I find it now?

I am working on building a SQL query to extract student outcomes when an outcome is based on a Rubric Criteria. My process is to pull information and verify it back to a single student for the unique assessment/rubric/criteria. For example, within an OrgUnit, Suzie Student completes Discussion 1, which is graded by a…

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…

Hello everyone, The quiz section for this gradebook should be weighted at 3 with a max points of 30. The syllabus quiz is pass/fail and should not be 100 points. I am able to changes the syllabus to pass/fail but the system will not allow me to put the max points to 0. How can I make the Quizzes section worth only 30…

I’m working with a faculty member who set their gradebook to drop ungraded items and also selected the option to Assign a grade of “0” to unsubmitted work whose due date has passed. However, the system is not assigning zeros. The faculty member did copy the gradebook from a colleague’s course, and I know that sometimes…

We have a request from a dpt for the integration of the Nolej io third-party application into our Brightspace instance. We have not been able to access ISO or SOC2 for this tool and have questions as they have stated they have not done any integrations with Brightspace - only Moodle. Thank you! Terra

Hi I'm trying to create custom html templates by editing the existing package of html templates available through D2L. Could someone tell me where to find the list of templates? thanks, Kate

We are experiencing an unusual issue in a course: one specific assignment is appearing as “overdue” for all students in the Content area, even though they submitted it on time. No other assignments are affected. I impersonated eight different students, and the problem is consistent—only this assignment shows as overdue…

We interface VoiceThread with D2L Brightspace. We then set up VoiceThread assignments in D2L and when student log into D2L and go to the assignment, they are able to listen and make comments. What just started happening, is that some people can do the comments in the VoiceThread assignment, while others have to click on…

Hi everyone, Can you track attendees' IP addresses and their login and logout timestamps in Virtual Classroom? I know you can find users' login logs and IP addresses on the User page. However, what I'm looking for is more like a meeting report after an online class. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

hello I created a new account instead of just reseting my password from school please help I go to SNHU

Hi, can we put a quiz question back into a quiz , rather put in back into the question pool it got removed after attempts on it were made in the quiz, would that allow the students who were initially evaluated on that question be able to see the graded rubric? the grades have been published, is it because the question is…

"Treat ungraded item as zero" should not mean "place a zero in gradebook". Having a bunch of zeros show up freaked my students out. How about 3 items instead of 2? Currently: 1) Drop ungraded items; 2) Treat ungraded items as zero Maybe future: 1) Drop ungraded items; 2) Mark ungraded items with a zero; 3) Calculate…

Hi! Would anyone be able to recommend an app that we can upload a script and it makes a training video? We've already looked at Synthesia and Speechify, but we're hoping to find another option. Thanks in advance for everyone's ideas!

Hello, Trying to figure out how to generate a report that provides information on Course Name, Course Code, Course Template Code and Semester Code for a specific Org Unit. Thank you for your help. Ameeta

Hello all, I need to create a pop up that generates when students access brightspace for an administrative survey in December. This will be system wide, so all classes that are currently active. I would like the pop up to have the survey right there for students to fill out instead of having to navigate away from the page.…

In quizzes, has anyone else experienced an issue where the correct answer changes in certain mathematical/significant figures questions? There seems to be no rhyme or reason and in the auto grading function, some students' responses will be marked correct and others will be marked incorrect even though all had the same…
