Captivate 19 html video with embedded Exit button closes the whole web browser tab on click
In our Brightspace course we use html videos exported as zip files from Captivate. We then upload the zip file to Manage Files and then we unzip the file and point to the index.html in a module for a course video. Within the video, there is an embedded exit button at the end of the video that generally just exits out of…

How can I see a student's point total by category in a weighted gradebook?
When I look at the gradebook, all I can see is their percentages achieved in the category. The percentage they have out of 100% for the category and the total they have out of the weight of the category. But I need to see the total of the points for each item in the category.

Rename the Discover tab or creating a new one with a different name.
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…

Release Conditions & Creator+ Practice Questions
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…

Share attendance register with entire organization?
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.

Arithmetic Question with multiple formulas
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 to delete unused files and images from Manage Files database
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…

Dataset for "Discover" courses?
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…

When Uploading profile images using the API, the images are not changing.
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…

Quizzes
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…

feedback
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…
