I’ve attempted to use an IMS QTI file, but I keep encountering an error during the import, stating that no quizzes or sections can be found. I’ve tried various examples from 1EdTech’s documentation, but…

I can't get my Visual TOC Banners to show the correct images
I'm having trouble getting my Visual TOC modules to show the images I want. All the modules seem to do is repeat the top banner. I include the images in the top of the description box inside the modules and list them as decorative, but it doesn't matter. Last semester they would show up in the Visual TOC modules…

How can I ensure the video I uploaded is view in its entirety before a student takes quiz?
I see the rule where the student cannot take the quiz until the video topic is clicked, but they could simply click it and then go straight to the quiz without watching any of the material. Is there a way to ensure they can't get to the quiz until the entire video is completed?

Bulk Add Copied Assignments to Gradebook?
I've copied a course over from a previous semester's version. The date shift feature was a huge help. Now, though, it seems that I have to manually, one-by-one, click to edit each individual assignment, and click to add it to the gradebook. There should be a bulk edit option to add all to gradebook at once. Otherwise, this…

Is a way that we can automate D2L to notify faculty that there gradebook does not equal 100%?
I know that there is a notification at the top of the gradebook but I wonder if there could be an email or another kind of notification process that could occur at specified times during the term. Just curious.
