These avenues offer courses and articles about accessibility to enhance accessibility knowledge and a group of accessibility enthusiasts to stay connected with.

Is it possible to setup a release condition on a module based on a calculated or formula field in a gradebook? I may have a situation where for example an instructor would want 5 small assignments worth 2 points each in one module. I would like learners to earn at least 7 of the 10 points before the next module opens. I…

Let's say I have a class of 20 who attempted a quiz with 5 questions. Is there any way in Brightspace to see a table or something that shows me, at a glance, the scores each student obtained for each question? Basically something like Grades/Gradebook but for a quiz and its questions. Thank you.

We are brand new to D2L. We have painfully discovered that our section naming from our SIS is not helpful to faculty when sending emails from the Message Alerts tool. Same experience when trying to publish Kaltura to a course. I would like to know what others are doing with their sections. Thanks, Tonya

We are beginning to test the Learning Outcomes (Standards) tool and have not yet created an organization-level achievement scale. Does an achievement scale need to be in place before instructors can create, import, and align outcomes in their courses, or is it only required once they begin assessing student achievement? I…

Please advise on a workaround to trigger an IA to notify an secondary instructor after the primary instructor has graded the rubric and saved it as draft rather than published it

Thanks for clarifying!

On the Quizzes page, future quizzes are listed for the students and they can click on them and see the description. However, when adding them into Content using Add Existing, the quiz does not show for students until the 'Available on' date. How can we enable future quizzes to be shown in Content for the students?

Hi Community, When a course is copied with an EdPuzzle assignment, it seems like each assignment has to be deleted and recreated, as the old link is pointing to a different class. Besides deleting all the old asssignments and recreating everything, is there a better method that I should be using? thanks! Chris

I cannot find documentation or instructions on this site or H5P's site for how to import into a new course. Does this mean the item is made and has to be uploaded from the Insert Stuff>H5P>upload option? If someone could explain, I'd really appreciate it!

What happened with the 2026 Brightspace Pathfinder Awards? Windows were to be announced after May 1st but I do not recall reading anything about what happened or who won.

Occasionally, students will need to edit their discussion threads upon request to include resources, images, etc. However, I do not receive notifications when a post/thread has been edited. Is there a way to be notified when a post has been edited? I assume we would be notified if we subscribe to the post. Although, it…

Are there other options besides K16 to archive courses with all student data that can be restored later for accreditation purposes? Tonya

My organisation is using the Teams connector to automatically create a team every time a section/ course is created on the system. We recently had an issue where courses and sections were duplicated resulting in the unfortunate duplications pushing to Teams. The duplicated courses have been removed both on Brightspace and…

When I created my first Brightspace quiz with bonus questions, some students earned scores above the maximum (e.g., 16/10), but the linked grade item capped every grade at 10 because Can Exceed had not been enabled on the grade item. As a new user, it never occurred to me that marking a quiz question as Bonus was not…

Hello Community! Use the DataHub, what is the best way to determine who has activated their courses in a term, and who has yet to activate them? thanks! Chris

I am the Registrar of a college currently implementing D2LBrightspace and our SIS is Jenzabar SONIS. We are struggling to automate the file updates that should send from SONIS to D2L. If anyone currently using these two products could assist by letting us know how you've set this up, we would be appreciative.

Curious if there is an auto save feature for discussion board responses. We have several adult learners who will start a response while at lunch at work and will need to finish the post at home. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to determine whether anyone else has experienced inconsistent behaviour when editing images in the Brightspace HTML Editor. One of our instructors is reporting that when they edit an image using Edit Image, changes such as resizing appear to save correctly while they are still in the HTML Editor.…

Hi everyone, I've recreated our institution's standardized navbar as a shared Organization-level navbar. My question is about the final step. Is there a supported way to bulk set a shared navbar as the active navbar for a subset of existing course offerings (for example, all Fall 2026 course offerings)? At the moment, I…

Hi D2L community, Are there suggested best practices to get Lumi Support to provide better feedback? In my exploration with Lumi Study Support, I've gotten a lot of the following message: I've created content using Lumi Content, used Lumi Quiz to generate questions from the content created from Lumi Content and ran several…
