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

I'm using the "formula" style of gradebook template, because none of the others offer the flexibility I need. Getting Brightspace to handle blank grades reasonably with this system has not worked out so far. The "don't include blanks in averages" setting does not appear to apply to formulas, which tend to throw an error if…

Hi, At THUAS we are using surveys more and more. However, I would like to be able to display the answers the students gave but ONLY their own responses after they submitted their responses. I cannot find this option in Reports. How do I accomplish this? Kind regards, Jordi van Selm The Hague University of Applied Sciences…

For the first two discussion topics in my course students who enrolled late need special access. Are there work arounds for allowing individual students access after the end date for the rest of the class?

Has anyone had an issue with the quiz where the class is not all seeing the same questions. It seems that some of the class and I see the correct version and some are seeing questions (ghosts) an old version. I am really not sure how to sort this out as on my side everything looks correct.

Hi all, We're exploring some additional ways to connect with students. One simple way we're looking at is some modifications to how notifications of emails appear when they are sent to our College email. Currently, a notification of an email message in Brightspace by defaults sends and email to the users College email has…

Has anyone successfully integrated Padlet into a Brightspace course so that grades transfer automatically into the Brightspace gradebook?

We are exploring the reports in the Data Hub in greater detail and were wondering how far back does the data go in time? Back in our old Blackboard Original system, we could only get data as far back as 180 days from the present day so it wasn't all that helpful for assessing long-term trends. Data Hub and Analytics…

Hi, the Internet says to go to More Actions and then reorder, but I don't have a Reorder selection available in Attendance. The weeks are out of order. How do I reorder them? Thank you, Donna Canan

Hi Community I wonder if I could pick your brains? - I am in need of a wee bit of help I have set up a series of gradual release cases that the students work on in groups - this is fine, I have been doing this for ages! I am now adding this approach into our final year module with clinical rotations We have a series of…

Hi everyone - I'm working with a faculty member who wants to put the Creator+ practice questions inside a carousel so students can flip through them. I'm not seeing a way to do this in the carousel element setup itself - the text options don't seem to include an option to put in Creator+ practice questions, or to include…

I have an Arithmetic Question with Answer Precision set to 0 with enforce precision set to False, and with Tolerance for units set to 0.75. The correct answer is -44.423. My expectation is that any answer + or - 0.75 from that is within the tolerance. Which gives us the range from -43.673 to -45.173. Furthermore, since the…

I have a quiz where points per question are correct, but the gradebook total does not reflect the true quiz total. Can I correct this after students have started taking this quiz?

I modified a quiz question by adding an answer key after the quiz was taken by students. UBLearns replaced the original answered question with the new question that has no student responses. How can I restore the original question with responses?

My institution is working to create a consistent Brightspace experience for learners. The current reality for my institution is that course set-up is based on each instructor's preferences, effort, and knowledge of best practice in e-learning. To try and get all Brightspace courses on the same page, faculty were given a…

If I run a file to disable a user's account through IPSIS (DELETE action for that record), what would the difference be between running a file with a Create vs an UPDATE action to enable the account again?

Is there a way to export grades and the date of which the quiz was completed? For example, going to Quiz → dropdown options → Grades gives me exactly the visual I'm looking for. but, when I click on the export button on this page, the excel file gives me a whole different format.

Ok, so I figured out smart import for h5p has a default folder where all the smart import goes into. So I moved whatever that's been imported to other folders. This is where the issue is - at normal user interface level, I don't see so many smart import folders but in the files management interface, therethere are so many…

I want to suggest new D2L features, which I understand is done in the Product Idea Exchange. When I click on that option from the resources menu, I'm presented with the following error message: "Unavailable Quicklink. The External Learning Tool is not available." I get the same result if I go to the D2L Academy home page…

Hello, Has anyone else noticed that the arrow that used to appear in the top righthand side of the gradebook (to scroll to the right when the number of grade items exceed the space available on the screen) is now missing? It is still possible to use the scroll bar on the bottom of the page to view items not visible…
