One of our instructors is moving her class to the new content experience. Her LTI assignments each have a description that would appear in the old content layout, but these descriptions are now not visible to students. Is this a limitation of the new content experience?

Hello. I need to change my email for the community. In the account and privacy settings is not working when I click on the change email button. Is there a certain web browser Thank you Susan Floyd

Greetings Brightspace Community! I am reach out to the broader global community to gather feedback and insight for those of you who have implemented the Create Course Widget for your instructors. Ideally, we would like to have our instructors have the ability to create a course sandbox on their own. Can we limit this…

I was under the impression that annotation view settings, such as zoom and fit width, were "sticky" submission-to-submission. Are they not? Were they ever? I'm an administrator, so I don't grade as often as faculty. I assumed these settings were "sticky" so that instructors did not need to fuss with the view settings while…

This platform has been just swell for learning so far. However, there is one significant pain point for me and many friends alike. The old courses are no longer relevant and never go away! I have done enough research on the internet to find that I must contact my instructors to "close" or deactivate the courses. We have…

An instructor has uploaded her final in Brightspace, but instead of students having to write out 'pi' or 'square root' can she enable a menu to allow students to write those characters? If this is possible, could you provide the steps?

Hello, I’m new to bright space I was wondering how do I submit and answer other students discussion questions for a grade?

Hi all, We've been on Brightspace since Summer 24 so still fairly new. I'm troubleshooting an issue we're having with Crosslisted courses and it's making me question how we have courses coming over via Ellucian ILP in the first place. So my very basic question is: Does a Course Offering have to have a Section associated…

I need to develop reporting from the D2L data on at-risk students. This should include last date of submission, last date of login, and current grades. Is this possible?

Hello - I have been asked to create a survey for all the students in all my courses across the institution. I know I could create a survey in each class manually, but is there an easier way to do it? It is for every course running in this "semester" so there is a way to get a list of the courses.

After I embed a Discussion into Content and view as la earner, this is what I see. Previously, there was no "Go To Discussion' button. The discussion was embedded in the Content main window. What happened? I contacted our helpdesk to check it for us. They said they can impersonate a learner/student, and it works correctly.…

Let's say I have a need to setup a Quiz that should be available from 1 May 2025 0001 hrs til 5 May 2025 2359 hrs. All submissions should be in by 5 May 2359 hrs. The quiz itself should have a time limit of 10 min. Is there any way to setup the quiz settings in Brightspace such that the End Date can still be set at 2359hrs…

Hello - I am trying to figure out the format and process for creating blank shells into my D2L instance. We have been creating courses manually and I know there has to be an easier way. I got a little turned around reading through the documentation. Does anyone have any experience doing this? Could I create a new…

The assignments seem to come over as topic rather than actual assignments but the dates do not come over. I do not know how to add dates so students and reporting will see them.

Hi there, I’m wondering if there’s a way to include an unsubscribe option in Intelligent Agent emails that are sent to users who haven’t checked their courses in the past 10 days. We’re using Brightspace for a self-paced course without strict deadlines, so the Intelligent Agent messages are meant to be friendly nudges.…

We have recently implemented the Export to SIS feature in our LMS and are coming up with an error that we have not seen before. When some faculty are following the procedure and exporting their grades, some users have their grade not send over as it states that the section is locked and then gives the section number (see…

HELP. I'm trying to delete a rubric in D2L and there is no box before the rubric on the page. How do I get that box back so I can click and delete:

Hello! How do I change the image to the widgets? A faculty member would like to have a different picture on the widgets that what's shown on the banner. We know how to change the banner image, but I am not sure how to change the widget images. Thank you!

Currently, when module leader checks the detailed Quiz attempt logs, the logs only indicate if characters were typed and responses to the question was saved. If a user uploaded a picture, the action is not indicated in the quiz attempt log - Is this correct? Is there a way to find out in detail if a user has uploaded an…
