My "administrator" role doesn't allow survey reports in courses, but it has all of the access in roles in permissions. I compared the "faculty" role permissions under the survey, and they can do it, but have less access. Is this a bug? Anyone else having issues with that?

Has anyone else seen this? I had two of my faculty members have this happen. They went into their gradebooks this morning, and the calculation method seems to have gone to points when they had originally set up weighted categories. It was an easy enough fix to go back through Mnage grades - Settings - Calculation Methods -…

Hello. I have followed the KB at https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/4465-class-progress-permissions and added all permissions to an Advisor role in BS. With that, we were hoping that Advisors could use the Go to This User's > User Progress in User Management for their advisees. But even with all the…

Hello - I am a systems administrator for an online university. I have been looking for a way to allow some students to audit a course while others are taking it for a grade. In these cases, the student would enroll to access the content, but would not engage or be graded. Currently, our rubric is set up so that a student…

Day before yesterday i received an email that one of my classes I was going to start on Monday had been cancelled. I then needed to replace this class with another one, which I did yesterday. Now, I have all of my classes in Brightspace except for the new one. How long does it take for the new class to show up in…

I have an assignment that I want students to collaborate on using a Google Doc. How do I have them submit the link to the document so that I can view it also? There doesn't seem to be a submission type for URLs.

Hi everyone, I’ve noticed that Brightspace sends an automatic email to learners every time they submit an assignment, even though I didn’t add an email address in the Notification Email field when setting up the assignments. I would like to stop this automatic submission receipt email but still want learners to receive…

I would like to setup a Bonus Grade Category that has a specific weight, let's say 5 percent distributed equally between 3 grade items. Only students who complete items in this category should see that the weight has been added to their overall grade. Is this possible.

Case scenario: I've done a practice run with the Intelligent Agents tool to identify users based off a certain criteria. I want to extract the report into excel/csv for filtering and data reporting. Is there a way to export the IA reports via the Brightspace UI? Or must I go to the dataset level to extract it? Thank you.

honestly i don't know where my student email is located can someone tell me how to access it

Hello, I'm wondering if there is a setting to allow students to enroll in multiple groups? A quick search shows me that students can only enroll in one group at a time, but is there a way to allow students to be a part of multiple groups? We're looking to use the Brightspace platform to allow students within a course to…

I am attempting to add a learning journal to my course. I have seen descriptions of how to do this with single-user discussions, but there is also an activity called "Learning Journal" listed in the Activity Library. How can I add this to my class?

I have and have had students with class accommodations allowing for 5-10 minute breaks during exams. I teach asynchonrously online and am wondering if there is a setting to allow breaks during exams to be able to allow for this accommodation. I have not been able to locate the feature if there is one. Thank you. If there…

Can Brightspace make it possible for the attendance feature to feed directly into the gradebook as a discreet category? It would seriously streamline the process of tallying student attendance. Thank you!
