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'm looking for advice on the best way to configure a custom role in Brightspace. We have a set of master course shells that serve as the source for instructors to copy content into their teaching course offerings. We'd like to have two different levels of access: Course caregivers: Full Instructor permissions so they can…

Each term, we create a welcome announcement with dates for each term. The announcement is stored it in a folder in shared public files (html-Template-Library) and embedded as an announcement in each course. We would like to personalize the announcement for each student. So…. Added this code: Dear {FirstName}, The code…

If I purge courses, will the content linked from the Media Library be deleted with the course or will the content stay within the Media Library?

I’m having problems previewing quizzes in D2L using the Respondus lockdown browser. When I select Preview for one of my quizzes, it goes into the preview and I can see the Start Quiz button at the bottom, which will take me into the quiz. But then I choose to Bypass Restrictions so I can test the quiz with the lockdown…

Hi, I was assisting an instructor who created a Text item in her Grade Book and entered letter grades for her students. This was just a standalone column not associated with a scheme. From the students' perspective, they could see the title of the text item in their grades but they couldn't see the letter grade entered by…

We've recently had a couple of instructors ask about making assignments more prominent for students in Brightspace. Most of our instructors currently provide assignment descriptions and instructions within their course content, but some have asked whether it's possible to provide a direct "Assignments" link in the course…

I'm wondering if anyone has implemented a workflow in Brightspace where attendance in an in-person class determines access to an associated quiz. For example: • Student attends Monday's class → they can access and complete Monday's quiz later from home. • Student misses Monday's class → they cannot access Monday's quiz. If…

Our university is transitioning from Blackboard Learn 9.1 to Brightspace, an instructor asked the following question: "I have a Quiz that is made up of mostly QUESTION POOLs. I want to get the questions into the Question Library. How do I do that? I tried going into the Question Library and do an Import from the quiz but…

Please give me the option to turn off the relentless demand that I use AI in at least one of the digital spaces I occupy. I don't welcome any AI help inside Brightspace itself. I'm sure other people have a use for it, but I don't.

Hi. We have several course offerings (and other org unit types) with more than 3.000 participants (the max. limit for the BCC email field), which means we cannot email them, which we would like to. Does anyone else have this challenge, and how are you working around it? Work arounds or ideas for work arounds will be much…

We don't want to display any decimal points with our percentage grades, but if we don't set it to at least 1 percent it rounds up. Even if I set the managing view to 1 decimal and the student view to 0 decimals, it still rounds up in the students point of view. Is there a way to keep it from rounding up?

Currently when a user posts a discussion thread reply, if the original thread is included in the reply, the word count counts all words in the reply as well as the words from the original thread. Some of us have a word-count requirement for replies. How can we get it that the word count feature only counts the words in the…

In a discussion topic, the option for Reading View is useful because you can see and scroll through the text of the original posts, but you cannot see the text or authors on any of the replies without opening the post individually. The option Grid View is useful for threading and seeing all the posts with replies and…

HOW DO I ACCESS HONORLOCK

Hi D2L Community, Is there a way to change the quiz question point value after a student attempt has been made? e.g. I have a question which was scored as 1 pt, but it's supposed to be 3 points. Is the only way to adjust the Grade Item score (via Grades) & "to update all attempts" (via quiz)? I've referred to this thread…

I just completed the first PCP course and my grades have been listed as released, where do I find them? I am looking for my overall final grade.

With the recent update to the Enter Grades page (scroll buttons), it seems instructors can no longer use the Find function in the browser (Ctrl+F) to jump to specific columns (grade items). Wondering if anyone has a work-around for finding a grade item quickly on the Enter Grades page?

Greetings, Are students able to see the AI report if you give them the option to review the Turn It In similarity check in the Assignment tool?

We have a newly deployed Brightspace instance (brightspace.spst.edu) and are configuring LTI Advantage (LTI 1.3) integrations for the first time. Our JWKS endpoint is returning — an empty keys array. We have successfully registered tools under Manage Extensibility > LTI Advantage, created deployments, and even completed a…

I have set up my Gradebook so as to drop the lowest grade in certain categories. I know how to do it but I always get questions from students when they see Dropped! I know the program assumes that the next assignment could potentially be dropped, but I wish there were a way that students wouldn't see that. I talked to a…
