I have created several interactive presentations using Active Presenter. I uploaded them as SCORM packages to Brightspace. 80% of the time, it works perfect: student completes the tutorial, grade shows up in gradebook. The other 20% of the time students are completing the tutorial, but it is not showing up in the…

I want my students to be able to open their past quizzes and view the following: all questions their responses wrong answers WITHOUT displaying the correct answers I have tried setting it up numerous ways with no success. I can either allow them to see all questions and their responses, all questions with correct answers,…

Why is grading so cumbersome and slow in D2L? Why do I have to click on the submitted document, then wait for it to appear, provide my feedback, and then click "publish", wait for it to publish, then click the arrow button to go to the next student? That's 3 clicks and waiting 3 times that greatly slows down my ability to…

My students are receiving this message: "There is a problem with the LockDown Browser setting for this exam. The instructor needs to use the LockDown Browser 'dashboard' to enable the settings for this exam," but I do not have a fix it button. It appears to be working fine on my end. Any suggestions?

I have been able to copy my Formula Grade Items successfully with course copy, but this semester it didn't come over. Doing a select course copy to an empty course works, but the active course does not work. Why? and how do I fix?

Good day, I received the following campus query a few days ago: "When editing the Note annotation, the edits do not always reflect. The reproducibility of the error occurs frequently and includes the spellcheck (does not always pull through the correction). This has caused student & lecturer dissatisfaction and frustration…

If an instructor using a seating chart associated with an event on the course calendar, is there a way to export the results of total participation, cold calls, and attendance for students?

I am using this variable ON in the new content experience: d2l.Tools.Content.LessonsRenderActivitiesInline - let's say this is a master shell. Not every master shell will have this on. Is there a way for this variable to be automatically on for any shell I copy the master shell into without manually turning it on? More…

We currently have the widget page locked down as the course homepage and faculty are clamoring the the ability to edit/add/move widget. Is there a way to limit the system widget option they have to add? Can we turn off the ability to create custom widgets?

For one of my courses, we utilize discussion boards, and we are expected to format using APA7 guidelines. I am unable to indent, as when I press tab, it takes me to the next button instead of the usual expected indentation. I am also unable to create the hanging indent that is required in the references section. I have…

I would like to have sub-modules hidden until the start date/time and automatically made visible to students at the start date/time. Currently, the module is visible to them but they cannot click the links to their homework until the start date/time. This tends to create confusion or questions, so I would like modules to…

This discussion has been merged.

I spoke with an instructor last week about the fact that after the last wave update, her students could not read published feedback on the student grade screen. For example, the instructor entered feedback on this test, published it, and it's now not showing. This means individual students can't see their feedback. It…

When I signed up for BrightSpace, it welcomed me and then went immediately to an unauthorized access page. Does anyone know how to get this issue fixed? Thank you Jen

Is there a way to collapse the 'Feedback' boxes on the new exam view? There used to be an option, but that was apparently removed in the new exam view. I do not need feedback boxes for every single multiple-choice question, and having to scroll through has made the new exam view quite cumbersome. Thank you.

I am wondering if anyone knows a way to filter/view assignments by student? I am new to D2L and working on their mid term evaluation. I want to pull examples from their prior assignments to give specific feedback. I am currently opening several windows to view the other assignments and then putting feedback into their…

The guidance for release conditions at About Release Conditions - Brightspace states: Note: Once a learner meets a release condition, the condition is cleared for that learner and cannot be reset. For example, if you attach a release condition to a discussion topic requiring learners to achieve more than 60% on a quiz…

How would you answer this instructor's question: " I am wondering about how to set a point value (total) for a grade category but then allow for points past that “max” to count for bonus. For Example – the Class Participation Category has 38 in-class quizzes which are 2 points each (for a total of 76 points); however, we…
