The Accessibility category serves as a single point of access to three avenues in Brightspace Community leading to the Accessibility Academy, Accessibility Library and Accessibility Discussions. These avenues offer courses and articles about accessibility to enhance accessibility knowledge and a group of accessibility enthusiasts to stay connected with.

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…

getting an error message when I try to upload an image. The image is a jpg file. I tried it in Firefox and Chrome and got the same error.

Hi, I want to create a project where users can extract their registered courses, but I do not know if the API allows that access to students or if it's even feasible. Is there any resource I can refer to to find out what API calls I, as a student, can make? Thank you, Manmilan

I don't know if this is a bug or a design decision… When adding Start and End dates to a Forum and putting those dates on the calendar, nothing appears on either the Work-to-Do widget or the Pulse app. They do appear on the course calendar. Adding start-end dates to the Topic, those dates do correctly appear on the…

Hi Everyone, What weight should a bonus item in a weighted category be assigned? Thanks in advance.

The link requires login, but the credentials associated with the community account do not work. There also is no registration link anywhere.. thanks! https://desire2learn.brightidea.com/ct/ct_login.php?c=18362FFA-6F33-4621-8C32-577FFD706E99

Hi, I have a course where every year or so we update the details of the certificate and I don't want learners who have already received the previous certificate to receive this new version of the certificate. Currently, the release conditions for this certificate are that learners have to complete 3 modules and then visit…

Where are my book links to the books they purchased for me? I have nothing I can see on here and I have nothing on my vital source.

Hello, I'm trying to unenroll a user from about 400 groups/sections, but unfortunately they all have the same default name (sec1 or grp1). I created and ran a Bulk User Management file, but it only unenrolled them from a single instance of the "sec1" section and "grp1" group. Any ideas on how to get all of them? Or does it…

Is there a way to keep the overall gradebook in D2L set to drop ungraded items but let the instructor select certain grade items to treat as 0? For example, after an assignment is past due, the instructor could set only that item to treat ungraded items as 0.

Hi Brightspace, Here's the context: Our lecturers have a set of quiz questions that they had written out in a word document file before using the given BS Quiz Template to import the quiz questions into Brightspace. Some of these questions include quotation marks and we realised that when the quotation marks were copied…

I have created an arithmetic question on quizzes, created a graphical equation to solve, inputted my variables in { } and put in the details for the variables at the bottom. But when my students go to complete the test, the variables are not being replaced, they are still appearing as x, y and z. BUT! When I press "Test"…

is there a way to export the gradebook to include the feedback that was given in the feedback column.

Quick question to the Community… Is it possible to allow one student to access a Lessons module say a week before it opens to the other students in a course? I know you can setup accommodations for a student in the Assignments, Quizzes but can it be done at the Lessons level? Is there a trick of the trade to allow this?…
