Are there plans to add a field to the Announcements Brightspace Data Set to indicate if it is a pinned announcement or not?

I used to use TedTalk videos, but the embed code no longer works in Brightspace, so I found the videos on YouTube. Unfortunately, I can't find a way to embed the videos without commercials. Does anyone have a solution?

I set start dates for each module. This week, though, I needed to delay the start of the module by one day, so I changed the start date over 12 hours before the original start time. However, the next day I got an email from a student who clearly could see the module even though the new start date is not here yet. I was…

Does anyone have any suggestions? I open pulse app and it launches a browser and doesn't go back to the app.

I am using D2L bright space at Conestoga college for my courses. One of my courses has many discussion posts and part of the grading metrics is checking minimum number of words. I am wondering if there can be word count provision on the grading page instead of copying to MS word all the time to check number of words. This…

Greetings Brightspace Community, I use Notepad and my Windows clipboard a lot when providing feedback to students. However, whenever I copy something I wrote in the D2L feedback section and paste it into Notepad (which is supposed to remove all formatting), it keeps pasting text I didn’t write, namely the 6 characters:…

I just want to inquire in terms of the availability of functionalities and accommodations for a visually impaired student on arc Could you kindly provide some insight on accessibility features, if any, on Arc, for example, screen reader compatibility, keyboard navigation, text-to-speech options, or any other readily…

I have a course which has one Faculty member in the classlist, everyone else is a student. This Faculty member is listed as the Evaluator of the 2 Turnitin assignments. It seems unnecessary to have them listed as the Evaluator, since they already have permission to grade the assignment. When we try to remove the evaluator…

Students have the ability to add a nickname to their profile but this does not appear to show anywhere in a course. Is this an outdated option? I could not find any documentation about it. Thanks, Karen

I have an assignment set up with 1 group. All students in the course are in the 1 group. Why? Because I want all students to see each others work and the feedback I provide using the annotation tools. All students are required to upload a paper to the assignment box. I want to set up an intelligent agent to inform me each…

How do I delete 'copies' of announcements?

Hello community. I'm trying to build an educative course for my university and I don't want to place it on Brightspace, I want to make it as external tool. There's a way I could use Brightspace as a bridge between Educaplay/Kahoot to my web application so I can save the results and update them on my own database? Thank you!

I thought for sure I used to be able to display 16 tiles (one for each week, all on the same page) in the Visual Table of Contents widget. Now it seems to be limited to 12, unless you select "View All," and then they display in giant size with a squashed image. Am I just imagining this?

I am required to accommodate students who need to be able to go back and forth through quiz questions. I can't find a way to manage special access to provide this flexibility. How can I do this?

I have just reviewed version 5, and I am noticing that the "elements" pages do not seem to appear in version 5. I am assuming this is because Bootstrap and JQuery are no longer included. So, I would just like to confirm with the community that this version no longer allows laypersons like me to embed accordions, tabs, etc.…

Hi, The view statistics option for grade items is a useful feature. However, at our university we have a demo student account (and often other test accounts or similar) that need to be excluded from any final statistics. Is there a simple way to exclude the data from test accounts? Our demo account is automatically…

We're moving to Brightspace from Blackbord. After a Blackboard course has been exported/imported into Brightspace, is there way to search the Brightspace course for a specific word (like "Blackboard") so that we can easily locate and change all references to Blackboard to Brightspace?

Hi, I am using an accordion for my Syllabus. I would like it to take up 100% of the <body>. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jim…
