How do I make the display fit a now-standard widescreen monitor?
The Brightspace screen only covers about the center 60% of my laptop screen or monitor, leaving blank swaths on the right and left as if it were created for a squarish screen from the 1990s. I have not yet found the right setting to change that to fit today's screens, which are all wider than they are tall. This is a…

Deactivate & request a new site for a course

Assigning AWARDS/CERTS at the ORG unit to users with the same name

Has anyone hosted live events with their students (i.e trivia quizzes for socialisation purposes)?
I'm exploring the idea of hosting live events on our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) to enhance social interaction and engagement rather than focusing solely on assessing course content knowledge.

Restrictions - Sections - Display configurations
Hello D2L community, We created a course but now we want to know how to more effectively restrict our audience to access certain content. We need to grade each user individually, but we have different modules inside the course (3) with scorm objects from which we take grades for quizzes. However, we also have a guide…

Hello, Is it possible to add a note to an updated file so that students can see a brief description of what was updated?

Trying to determine cumulative grade
I have been reading the posts about final grades and viewed the video, but I think I may be missing something. I want the cumulative grade "so far" to appear BUT the grades I'm seeing seems to be calculated on the work done so far, divided by the points of the assignments completed.
