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

I'm new to using Brightspace VLE. We are using the New Content Experience in Brightspace. I have seen documentation that refers to a bookmarking feature where students can bookmark content to return to. However, I cannot see this in the course Content. There is 'Bookmarks' option on the 'Content Browser' homepage widget,…

My students can't see the rubric feedback. They can view the plain rubric in the assignment area, but when the rubric is filled out and their grade is published, the only thing they can see in the grades section is the overall grade, overall feedback, and a link to their file submission. With a lot of putzing around, my…

Can you determine whether a student has viewed a specific quiz attempt? I can see login timestamps, but they aren't granular enough to show what the student interacted with during that time. I have a faculty member trying to determine whether a student has viewed missed questions before deciding to offer a remediation…

In the New Content Experience, when you select "Add Existing" a page opens that looks like the below. I'm wondering if there is any way to change which tools appear as the "top 3" on this page. We have very few faculty members who use Niche Academy and Perusall, but many who use our other external learning tools. It would…

The due dates and end dates in the NCE are not too straight forward. In the NCE, after the due date the NCE makes the content not visible. You need an end date to keep the content visible. Why is this? When will this be fixed?

Hello, We are transitioning from Sakai to Bright Space. We host a few "project sites" on Sakai that remain open, where students can contribute. Is this possible with Bright Space? Or- could I potentially use a classroom site that all of our students could access and interact with, that does not close at the end of the…

My course is going to be transitioning to the New Content Experience. I have a Sandbox course and have used it to test the functionality on different devices. For Surveys, Discussions, Quizzes, and Project Assignments - to access the content it is showing up in the middle of the screen saying "Open Discussion" or "Open…

Is there a way to review all the student grades for an assignment BEFORE publishing? It is important to review all grades in one place before students have access, and I can't find a way to do that. If not, I will need to start grading in another program and then import into Brightspace, which I would prefer not to do. 

Hello, Is it possible to create a range of points using the analytic rubric? I have an instructor who wants the ability to click certain level, but assign points as they see fit within a certain category. Here's a segment of a rubric they're currently using. Proficiency 20 – 16 Effective 15 - 11 Developing 10 – 6 Not Met 5…

Most instructors look to create rubric on a flexible scale rather than by set points or percentage. Most major LMS's have this integration already embedded in the system. I would love to see this going into development as it is a vital component on course design, rubric design, and giving choice to instructors and course…

Hello, I need a report for an org unit that lists its intelligent agents and the release conditions attached to each one. I understand that the Intelligent Agent Objects data set connects to the Release Condition Objects data set, but it isn't clear to me how they're joined. How can I identify the agent ID and its…

I think I just deleted EVERYTHING in my course!!!!! they are in the last day!!!! How can I bring it back?

Hi, Just making a first post here so I can gain access to this site. My main interest is accessing the Product Idea Exchange to discuss updating the arithmetic style questions in the D2L/Brightspace Question Editor/Quizzes. I use quizzes extensively in a number of courses and have some feedback on this particular question…

If an IA is set to run only once yet I change their email address and username, will it send again? I want a welcome message to run once but their email address and username which is their email address need to be changed?

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

I would like to see what users have answered to each question, so I can make a leaderboard. In one question they answer the name for the leaderboard. The page https://docs.valence.desire2learn.com/res/quiz.html shows various ways of getting the number correct they have, but I can't see how to get the actual answers, or to…
