A question on due dates vs. end dates, when quiz feedback is involved. We have several quizzes with 1 attempt allowed and a due date and end date assigned. there is also delpayed feedback on the quiz. When the end date passes, the students are losing access to the feedback link. We would like to stop submissions after the…

Is it possible to rename the Discover tab? Our Discover tab is only used for student clubs, so we decided the name Clubs would be more intuitive for students. I went to add a new custom link called clubs, but when I went to one of the club pages I noticed the navbar refused to load for each course. When I created the link…

I'm trying to create a sort of fake identity verification experience for students in a course I'm helping to build. My intent is to present students with a single Content folder/unit. When selected, the splash page will include a Storyline interactive that simulates an optical scan, then directs them to an HTML page in…

I know it's possible to share an attendance scheme with my entire organization but can this be done with attendance registers? Every semester I create attendance registers for each course schedule which faculty then have to copy into their courses. This would be much more seamless if I could share them like a like a scheme.

I know I have seen posts since 2023 asking for arithmetic questions with multiple formulas so we can ask multiple part questions that generate new values for each student. Is this anywhere close to becoming a reality? If so, can you tell me when we might see this feature? I have been teaching with D2L Brightspace for…

How do i find the media library page so I can record a audio?

As I update my course and bring it forward from term to term, I'm probably storing a lot of images that are no longer embedded in lesson material. Is there a way to see where each item in the Manage Files library is being used in the course material? Or a filter to show which items are not currently used so I can delete…

Is there any dataset for org units that indicates if a course is part of Discover? We'd like to build a custom application to let external users create guest accounts in Brightspace and enroll in Discover courses, but would like to simplify the process by giving guests a list of the available courses to enroll in. This way…

I receive the access token without any problem. I can change the profile image through the UI without any problem at all. I then loop through all the jpg images in a directory (Only 4 for testing) uploading them using the API. I receive a status OK after each loop through, but I do not see the change in the image. I…

In my classes, I have multiple forums; - Graded discussion questions - Questions about class or assignments - Group discussions (student groups) Each forum should have the options (forum level) - Notify me when students post - useful for Questions - Use in count on home page - good to exclude student group discussions,…

Hello! I have an inquiry from a professor that I am not sure how to resolve. Her inquiry reads, "There was an error in the answer key that I rectified. however there were students who completed prior to that answer key correction. Is there a way to 're-run' the quiz to see the scores with the corrected answer key." Is…

Any idea when the PIE quicklink will be available for suggestions/recommendations?

What could be the reason that feedback that a teacher has given to a student at a submission point, differs in text and letters from what it should actually be? Normally, that should be the same. The only thing I can think of is that it is due to the student's laptop, but then the student should encounter it more often. I…

Hello, I’m looking for a way to schedule a thread (post) within a discussion forum in D2L Brightspace so that it automatically becomes visible at a future date and time—similar to how we can schedule announcements or set availability dates for discussion topics. Is there currently a built-in feature that allows instructors…

I keep getting an error when trying to open the Product Idea Exchange environment. Has it got something to do with my enrollment, or with the link? Thank you for checking.

Hello, I am wondering if there are any plans to improve the functionality of arithmetic questions for Brightspace Quizzes. We have recently moved our assignments over from the LON-CAPA system to Brightspace to consolidate our courseware; however, we are finding the arithmetic question programming quite limiting. It would…

I see from the help documentation that you can now add rubrics to written response questions, but I don't seem to have that option when I am adding a question. Does this need to be enabled somewhere?

Hello. We are using the Classic Content experience. Does anyone know if it is possible to copy "starter" threads that the instructor creates from semester to semester? Here's the use case: Instructor has created a Discussion forum. Within it, she has 5 different "starter" threads that she would like students to reply to.…
