Hello everyone, I'm an admin, and I've recently noticed an issue with the calendar. For one of the quizzes, the due and end dates do not appear on the personal calendar when viewing by day. However, they do appear in these places: On the course home page On the calendar when viewing by week or month The quiz settings do…

I just read a query from about a year ago (2024) titled “Due date for graded Discussion topic?” and I’m experiencing the same issue. In my courses, I have multiple discussion topics. In the older content experience, I could go to the Restrictions tab and check a box to have the end date display on the D2L Calendar.…

We currently do not use the Activity Feed widget for our course homepages. For our courses that use the New Content Experience, is there a way to hide the "Post to Course Homepage" option as an administrator? Without the Activity Feed widget, this option is not needed and we would like to make it unavailable to instructors.

Hello, all. I'm eager to hear from anyone else who has both: the Brightspace Course Connector for Microsoft Teams users with mixed case email addresses (e.g. First.Last@example.edu) If you do have both, will Course Connector still create teams for course instructors who have mixed-case email addresses? Will the test tools…

Is there a way to know if a student viewed the instructor's comment for a submitted grade?

These two datasets appear to contain the same information with just a few minor differences.

As we are preparing to sunset Blackboard Learn 9.1 at the end of the spring '26 semester, we have migrated a number of courses to Brightspace. One of our instructors is seeking a method to export her quiz questions to a CSV file. She intends to use Python to clean up the list of questions to delete old and duplicate…

My school is starting to use the Competency tool to track student competency of various learning objectives. We made the tool visible to the learn on the nav menu of their courses so that they can see which objectives they have met from any of the courses in their program. In the student view, it says "Competency results…

I'm trying to create a user access report that shows the date and time spent in courses. It would basically look something like this: StudentID | StudentName | CourseName | Date Accessed | StartTime | EndTime | Total Time Getting this is a bit difficult because I cannot find a dataset that contain this info nor ones that…

Hi everyone, My higher education institution is looking for ways to assess student participation, a way that's connected to the gradebook in order for participation to count towards 10% of a student's final grade. What are some ways faculty do this? I'd like to avoid creating a "participation rubric" as it would be tedious…

I attend WCC and use LMS Lamaku. I would like to learn about how the LMS Lamaku is integrated into your system.

Are students still able to see and access assignments that are past due for completion. I have a student that has had technical issues and I am now giving her an extension on assignments that she missed. She is claiming she cannot see them. Thanks@

Within the past 2 weeks, 2 instructors have said they are experiencing problems with D2L Brightspace email, not seeing messages sent to them within the system.

Good afternoon ... Our institute recently switched from Moodle to Brightspace, and I spent some time today setting up the attendance portion of Brightspace for my shop class, and I found that there was no where to add a note for a specific student regarding their absence. For example, in the scheme - rather than just using…

I have a discussion Topic in which the students are asked to reply to threads anonymously. In the stats, we are unable to see the number of replies from each student. We are able to identify the student by useing the "author" link on the reply. How can I get stats on how many replies each student completes?

students are not able to see the final calculated grade. Grades show as released. Grades show as not hidden. Not sure what else to change.

For those of you who moved from Classic Content to New Content, what was the change like? How great are the changes between environments? What was the most difficult part of the change?

How do students submit their homework?
