Displaying a Text Grade to Students
Hi, I was assisting an instructor who created a Text item in her Grade Book and entered letter grades for her students. This was just a standalone column not associated with a scheme. From the students' perspective, they could see the title of the text item in their grades but they couldn't see the letter grade entered by…

How are institutions highlighting assignments for students?
We've recently had a couple of instructors ask about making assignments more prominent for students in Brightspace. Most of our instructors currently provide assignment descriptions and instructions within their course content, but some have asked whether it's possible to provide a direct "Assignments" link in the course…

Is There a Way to Tie Quiz Access to In-Person Attendance?
I'm wondering if anyone has implemented a workflow in Brightspace where attendance in an in-person class determines access to an associated quiz. For example: • Student attends Monday's class → they can access and complete Monday's quiz later from home. • Student misses Monday's class → they cannot access Monday's quiz. If…

Turn off suggestions that I use AI
Please give me the option to turn off the relentless demand that I use AI in at least one of the digital spaces I occupy. I don't welcome any AI help inside Brightspace itself. I'm sure other people have a use for it, but I don't.

Keep percentage grades from rounding up
We don't want to display any decimal points with our percentage grades, but if we don't set it to at least 1 percent it rounds up. Even if I set the managing view to 1 decimal and the student view to 0 decimals, it still rounds up in the students point of view. Is there a way to keep it from rounding up?

Discussion word count
Currently when a user posts a discussion thread reply, if the original thread is included in the reply, the word count counts all words in the reply as well as the words from the original thread. Some of us have a word-count requirement for replies. How can we get it that the word count feature only counts the words in the…

View options: display full discussion posts and replies all at once
In a discussion topic, the option for Reading View is useful because you can see and scroll through the text of the original posts, but you cannot see the text or authors on any of the replies without opening the post individually. The option Grid View is useful for threading and seeing all the posts with replies and…

How to change quiz question score after attempts?
Hi D2L Community, Is there a way to change the quiz question point value after a student attempt has been made? e.g. I have a question which was scored as 1 pt, but it's supposed to be 3 points. Is the only way to adjust the Grade Item score (via Grades) & "to update all attempts" (via quiz)? I've referred to this thread…

Dropped grades
I have set up my Gradebook so as to drop the lowest grade in certain categories. I know how to do it but I always get questions from students when they see Dropped! I know the program assumes that the next assignment could potentially be dropped, but I wish there were a way that students wouldn't see that. I talked to a…

Is D2L accessible for Faculty in Spain

Can you confirm if access, for the Fanshawe College D2L instance, is available when abroad in Spain. Are there any limitation to consider when…

Insights: How to find how many Instructors and how many students are using Brightspace
How do i find out how many Instructors and Learners have used the system during a period. I do get the number of access; but it doesn't translate for me the unique faculty access. I want to tell administration that for example: out of 500 faculty that were synced in for this semester; 230 were actively using the system; or…
