When I tried to access PIE from under Resources, I was redirected to another page that says "Unavailable Quicklink". I'm already logged in and can access other links under Resources.

Greetings, I just wondered if anyone else was having issues with course copies. I had a faculty member copy the content from 2 different courses and in both cases the assignments were no longer linked to the grade center. Deb

Has anyone else had any trouble with the D2L course page freezing in Chrome browser? This has happened to me three times now, and each time it has been in a different page of my course. So far it has happened in Content, the course homepage, and in Assignments. The navbar and the scroll bar both disappear and I am unable…

I need the HCA textbook required for CNA course.

When grading, I can't see the rubric to use to assess the question. When I go to manage the quiz, the rubric is definitely attached to the question. When managing the rubric, it is definitely published. But when I go to grade an attempt, the rubric is not there.

We have several large departments that are using and want to use a 0-4 style grading scheme (Based on the book Grading For Equity). We've found a clunky way to almost accomplish this with a custom grading scheme, but it still relies on percentages (and makes them visible), defeating the original intent. Has anyone found a…

Hi, I noticed that recently (I can't quite remember when) I don't see a menu bar anymore when vieuwing pdf or Office files in Brightspace. There used to be a menu bar at the top, as shown in the following image. But now I don't see it anymore. Is this feature or a bug? Perhaps a Brightspace update removed that menu bar.…

My students and I find the checklist far more useful than the content area. The students can check off in the checklist when they have completed an assignment. I know that manual check-off is available in content, but then conditional release does not work. Any suggestions?

We have SSO configured on our Live and Test Brightspace instances, usually without any problems but very occasionally some people report that they get the "There was a problem processing your authentication". These users all have active Brightspace accounts. I am assuming that the issue is that ADFS is sending the SAML…

I have checklists that include quick links course assignments. Does the student need to submit a completed assignment to be able to check the item ? Or, can students simply check everything on the lsit and move on? I'm attempting to set up a release condition that a student needs to complete the checlist to get to the…

What are some pros/cons? If some of my objectives were to: standardize the format enforce some specific requirements use the content of the syllabus in our course equivalency processes

The Brightspace screen only covers about the center 60% of my laptop screen or monitor, leaving blank swaths on the right and left as if it were created for a squarish screen from the 1990s. I have not yet found the right setting to change that to fit today's screens, which are all wider than they are tall. This is a…

Hello, There's a professor who is experiencing a weird phenomenon of the Navbar sliding away as he gets from one side of the gradebook to the other (as shown in the attached video). Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks!

Hi everyone, While copying content from a previous semester, our gradebook links did not transfer correctly, causing hundreds of grade items to get mixed up. We now have a newly designed course structure that we’d like to copy over. Our plan is to deactivate the current course (so we can still reference previous students'…

New to Brightspace and love what it has to offer at the course/learner level, but boy the admin functionality is really lacking. We want to assign awards and certs at the org level, but we've noticed when searching for users with a common name, you can't differentiate between them. See screen shot. Am I missing a config…

Hi all, I'm trying to use the Brighspace API to make submissions to assignments from an instructional programming environment (IPE). The students submits their work in the IPE, then the IPE submits the names of the files submitted to Brightspace. I'm using this API:…
