We are trying to enable a Dept Contact in a course to enroll a facilitator but the latest security patch seems to present an obstacle that we can't overcome. The Course URL is https://community.d2l.arizona.edu/d2l/lms/classlist/classlist.d2l?ou=1316589 Looking forward to hearing from you. ~Keri kmiller3@arizona.edu

Hi, our academic find the Templated Comments like in Turnitin Feedback Studio really useful. However, for record management compliance we can only do marking in the Brightspace Annotation tools. The Templated Comments are customisable and could increase the speed, accuracy and the consistency in marking and feedback…

I'm trying to use Postman to write some Python to batch download all Awards issued organization-wide. I *think* that I'd need to make a GET call to https://{{BrightspaceDomain}}/d2l/api/bas/{{version}}/library/templates (no parameters) to get the full list of certificate templates that can be issued. I make that call but…

Does your institution have a specific learning management system policy in place? We have recently had some questions about information access and we are now working on our own Learning Management System policy, but we are curious how other Brightspace users have dealt with the issue of LMS policy. Would anyone be willing…

Hello, Can the Learner "View course progress with the Class Progress tool" tutorial webpage include the current "Class Progress Overview" video (https://youtu.be/FGjB0oMu92k?si=bqvJR6IFlaGELO7a). It has the old videos still on the page. Thank you!

In the Blackboard original Grade Centre, there is an icon (a little blue pie chart) that indicates students are in progress with a Test. Since the Grade Centre displays the whole class, it is a convenient way to monitor how many students are currently completing a Test in Blackboard. Is there a way to enable something…

Hello Community, We are fairly new users to Brightspace. A couple instructors who are early adopters have some questions regarding the functionality of the Calendar tool. Rather that trying to rearticulate their comments, I'm going to provide the words below. I would appreciate any guidance that you can provide with this.…

Dear Community, We are fairly new to Brightspace, an instructor has some questions about the Completion Tracking feature within Content Settings. The instructor would like to set her account's default to Not Required. Is it possible for that preference to be set by an individual without making the change for the entire…

Hi, all of a sudden red icons that appeared on each of our courses notifying us of how many new assignments and new comments were posted are gone so now instructors have to get into grading inside the course to see new assignments. Any help with bringing those notification icons back? I'm attaching a screenshot of what it…

I have an instructor who is getting this error message on a Quiz under the content tab. He needed to adjust a question (which he could through the quiz itself). However, this specific question pool didn't show up in his question library. Every other pool was there except this one. Could someone offer assistance to help me…

I associated a rubric with an assignment. The gradebook shows the summation of the rubric marks, but I'd like a spreadsheet with the grades for every student and what they received for each criterion. Is this possible in D2L? I am an instructor.

How do I increase the number of items per page. 10 or 20 is too small; I need 50.

When I am logged into BS as a Super Admin and I go to Course Admin, Rubrics and I click on a link in a rubric it works. When I click on the same link as a Learner in Assignments it doesn't work. This is a new issue, it started happening a few weeks ago. This is the rubric with the links: This is the error message I get as…

D2L used to have courses that were available for import into D2L for faculty training. Does this option still exist? I would like to be able to offer faculty training without having to leave our Brightspace instance.

Hi, I've integrated an external tool into Brightspace using deep linking, and everything works it launches correctly. I've also sent back a deep linking response, which has been added as my external tool link to the assignment. However, after checking the payload I received from the tool launch, I noticed that there is no…

Hello, We currently use the Brightspace Survey tool to administer our Student Evaluations of Instructors survey. This can be time-consuming for our Curriculum Support person, and we are hoping to find out how others are administering their SEIs. Is there a way to copy surveys to more than one course at a time or multiple…

Hello Brightspace Team, We are about to next term SPRING 2024-2025 SEMESTER and we would like your guidance on requirements in order to avoid any type of inconveniences with our registration process. We have set up all the classes on anthology, however it is not synching with D2L Brightspace and we need some helping hand…

Hello: Is Virtual Classroom something that is only used in synchronous courses or can it be used in asynchronous courses as well?

I created an assignment in which I inadvertently failed to post date the start date until after I created groups for the class. A student submitted his work, which I did not grade, and the Assignment Type setting locked to Individual Assignment. I deleted the student's submission and changed the start date to a later time…
