Can Brightspace add a quiz question category that compares every character in two pieces of text (one question and its matched answer) and tallies differences as errors? In my writing courses, I like to provide students with sentences containing mechanical, grammatical, and typographical errors and then ask them to correct…

Hello Brightspace Community, I have a little bit confusion around the scheduling frequency with intelligent agents. We want to set it so it runs every first Friday of the months in October (3rd) and November (7th), to be exact. If I set the schedule for every four weeks, starting Oct 3, would that mean the agent will run…

Hello, Where do I find the course files? Ann

Hello All, The following screenshot data started to appear on Thursday morning, July 24th when I was reviewing the daily Audit Log. Notice there are duplicates for each that I have indicated in red.

Right now all our instructors can access a URL like https://online.eiu.edu/d2l/api/lp/1.9/courses/264585 But if a student tries to access it, they get forbidden. How can we enable this for students? It looks like we need to turn this on: https://docs.valence.desire2learn.com/res/course.html ? Thanks for the help.

How do I show students their letter and percentage grade?

hi, I have a case where “only the most recent submission is kept” this deletes all previous uploads. When restoring the old deleted files is there a chance that it is replaced by the new version. Im trying to work out if there is potentially the case were old files completely get removed without anyway to retrieve them?…

Hi, If a submission was deleted by the administration or if the page is set to replace existing/keep only the latest file. How long is the deleted/replaced files kept on the back end? ie how long after the deletetion can I ask D2L backend to restore the file. I have seen some mention to recovery only occuring within 30…

Hello, Just wondering if anyone is having trouble with awards that are meant to be issued automatically (based on release conditions)… but they are not being issued even though the release conditions are met. Seems like it might have started around July 15/25. Thanks, Michelle

Hi. I am trying to see the PIE items for adding annotations tools for student use. I want to upvote them, but when I try to access them, I am asked to log in, and my login fails each time.

Hello, Is there a way to restore files deleted when overwritten on an assignment? There is no way students can retrieve but not sure whether an instructor or admin can restore it.

Thank you for any help you can provide. I understand how to create release conditions so that completing an assignment or taking a quiz unlocks the next module. However, I would also like to open modules by date for students who do not meet those criteria. Specifically, if a student chooses not to complete an assignment, I…

Is there a way to add a banner image to a Course Template? When I create a template it has no banner image and this results in the Visual TOC widget to shown the missing image icon because by default it uses the banner image as image for units. I can't find a way to turn the banner on for Course Templates. When I go to the…
