This is in student view. We don't want students to know how many correct answers they have to select.

No class visible. Professor says I am set up but nothing shows on my end

when I create my courses from IPSIS for the new session, I get this message “Parent org unit mapping not found”. However, the information seems to be correct and everything works manually.

The discussion pad is meant for learners to fill in when they are attempting the quiz. For example, the quiz is set up as an MCQ quiz, but quiz takers are able to input their working/calculation methods as well. This will provide deeper insights for lecturers on how their learners answered the quiz.

Within each Brightspace module, we have units/folder set up as Week 1, Week 2 etc. And within each unit/folder, there are lesson content, a couple quizzes and discussions. Naturally, the unit is structured for students to navigate through the content and complete the quiz (e.g. Pre-Class Quiz → Content A → Quiz → Content B…

Numerous "learning activities" are listed in this "library," and I made one using the prompts. But I can't figure out how to make the activity visible to my students? Also, none of the the "all tags" suggestions seem to be related to this.

Why is there no option for adding a DUE date (not END date) when creating a Discussion? I would like to see the options for adding dates to be the same as they are when creating a quiz (dates for DUE, START, and END) so that the student still has the ability to submit past the due date. At this time we only have the option…

Is the "Brightspace Catalyst Award for Student Success" still a thing? I cannot find any information about it. Please advise.

How do I export a specific student quiz attempt as a static file example (pdf ideally) for use in accreditation reporting? This is an essential function that seems to be absent.

How do you enable HTML templates in the new content experience? The instructions I've found on your website only show this for the classic content experience.

Dear reader, Would you please be so kind to make an account for the D2L Community and Support? Thanks in advanc. Regards, Heleen

We used ouriginal until now, but since they have been taken over by Turnitin we don't have a good contact anymore and the new product isn't compatible with Brightspace yet so we are hesitating to sign a new contract with them. What do you use? what is already quite good in detecting AI use?

Hello, I recorded a video, and the professor reached out to me and told me that others cannot view the video. I am not sure how to make my video from private to public.

Hi, does anyone know why or how to fix/resolve an issue where a student using Chrome on Windows can play/see videos that were uploaded to brightspace as Webpages/embedded but not see any video/visual (just a black screen) but can hear the audio, when the video was uploaded as a Video type page instead of a webpage? we…

The URL is: https://mccormick.brightspace.com We have tried two different browsers and cleared history and cache, and tried using three different networks. Still have the issue. It takes a while and once in a while we get to the login screen but more than not it finally errors out. We've made no changes on our end or to…

Is there a way to globally change the default for visibility to "Visible with Submission Restricted"? Our system defaults to "Visible with access restricted" which is painful to change on all assignments and discussions that's due dates vary from week to week. I may just be missing something simple, but would love any help…

I have a student who is a week behind and needs an additional week beyond the end date of the course to complete their work. Will adjusting Special Access for one or more gradable entities for a single student extending the availability of entities beyond the end date of the course? Or, does the course end date supersede…

Is there a way to turn on the checkmark for required material in the Contents tab? The New Content experience removed this feature, and many of our students would like that to be available.
