Do all registered students receive announcements or notification of announcements?

I believe in providing my students with visibility into their grades throughout the semester, so they always know where they stand rather than waiting until the end of the term. However, I’m encountering an issue and would appreciate guidance. Currently, when I view the gradebook settings, it appears that the grades are…

Hello, We are brandnew to this system so I am learning. In weeks 1 and 2 of my online course I allow students to submit an email to me that shows they went through the Syllabus (I have a hidden gem in it which asks them to email me 3 things they learned, any outstanding questions they have, etc). I am unsure how to set…

Hi I can upload but can't edit the overview in content area of my course? Do I need to change a setting?

Is there a way to copy components within the same course? I'm trying to set up a structure with 8 units, e.g., modules/weeks. Within those, I am creating two lessons to organize my content, e.g., "Learning Materials" and "Coursework." Ultimately, I will have master shells to copy over the full structure and content, but we…

I am learning how to use it tonight.

Anyone else out here using Lumi? We are just moving to D2L and have gotten Lumi Pro (not Creator). It is set to be available for specific roles right now as we get the hang of it. The issue I'm having is that the button doesn't always show up when I create a new assignment, quiz or discussion. Has anyone had that…

Hello all - I remember there is a way to add the student's name in an announcement to make it more personal in D2L, but I've looked through past documentation, and I can't find out how to do it. It's something like "Hello {NAME} or [NAME], but neither of those work when I impersonate the Demo student. I will keep trying,…

I am trying to change the font size on Practice questions in creator+. I am building multiple choice questions

Is there a way to assign a due date for discussion boards? Dicussion boards are integral parts of my instruction. I need to be able to assign due dates.

Hi there Please advise, is there version history for Creator+ courses to revert them back in the event of corrupt or lost data?

An instructor set up a group category with a self-enrolment type. When students click on the link to the category, they receive an error message stating the self-enrolment groups are not available. Has anyone experienced this issue before, and did you find a solution?

Not sure where to post this - I'm writing up my PD request for Fusion 2025 and don't see a recommended hotel or one with a conference rate. Is this coming soon or are we on our own for accommodations?

Hello community I wonder if TurnItIn can be enabled on the discussion boards? We have started using an outside tool for discussions because of AI use in our online courses, but we are missing the accessibility and some additional features (groups and rubrics) of the discussions in D2L. Would love to get rid of this other…

My profile needs to be adjusted but Brightspace site is not allowing. How do I achieve this?

I've created a hotspot activity with numbered hotspot markers, but the markers in some instances sort of hide what they are marking — for example, #2, 3, and 4 in the image below. Is there a way to make the hotspot markers more transparent, or smaller, or what would you suggest?
