Restricting Discussions to unique individuals
Good Morning Community, I am running into a bit of a headache. I have a professor who desires to talk to students about their writing assignments via discussion posts. A forum for each assignment and then each student has their own post under that forum. The professor wants it so that other students cannot see the contents…

Archiving Discussion Board Threads
Greetings, I have a few users on campus that have a single course shell that they use on a rotating basis. An example would be a student orientation course.

Panopto Videos Won't Play on iPads
We have integrated Panopto via the External Learning Tools into D2L. Our students that use iPads have recently been unable to view any Panopto videos linked in content. Tried multiple browsers with the same results. Only a black box appears. This is happening only on iPads. Have you heard of this issue? Any solutions?

Re-structuring semesters in Brightspace
We're looking into streamlining some of the non-IPSIS fed semesters/courses that staff and students are enrolled on. These include Student Hub spaces with institutional support pages and Staff module design resources. What's the impact on moving support modules built in a different semester, say, 'Spaces' and move that to…

Link quiz questions
My paper tests often have several questions that are based on the same hypothetical conditions. Is it possible in a Brightspace quiz to link questions so they will always appear together and based on the same conditions? And, if possible, can the questions be of different types?

How do you set up Brightspace for rolling intake?
One of the programs at our organization is changing from a cohort based model to a rolling (continuous) intake model. Each program participant has up to 5 years to complete program. I was wondering how to best set up for such a design and also know what tools should we leverage in Brightspace? We were intially thinking to…

Link multiple grades to 1 assignment
We are developing assignments for integrated testing. This means that different educators look at the same product from different perspectives (e.g. a pedagogue and a didactician) (often at different parts of it, but the cohesion is important) and also each assess the product on the basis of their own/other criteria and…

Is it possible to use an award earned in one course as a release condition in a different course?
We would like to award a badge in the last course in a program that is conditionally released based on achievements in previous courses throughout the program. To do this, we could potentially set up badges in the previous courses and then award the final badge based on these previously earned badges, but we're not having…

Announcement Notifications
Our institution has an email notification for Announcements set, but an instructor has reported that not all students receive an email notification when he posts an Announcement. I assume that is because of the students' settings, but need confirmation unless there is something I should be doing on the Admin side.

Hello, we are just in the process of migrating from Blackboard to Brightspace and we are trying to locate/identify a report that would allow us to see all course offerings by content size (i.e. course is 1.2Gb, Course B is 900MB, etc…). Anyone know of, or have any suggestions? I looked at the old community site and there…

ePortfolio: Is there a way to share items to a group after they are shared with me?
Hello, I have a rather specific question. I am working with an instructor at my institution, and she posed the above question to me. After playing around with the portfolio and group sharing as well as doing a bunch of research online, I still cannot determine if this is possible or not. For a bit more context the…

Limit number of assignments or quizzes
Hello, I am an instructor who provides students with a list of assignments and quizzes; over the semester, they need to pick three to complete. They can choose any combination of three, but there are no do-overs. The first three assignments and/or exams they complete are the ones that count. How do I prevent them from…

Student view of survey responses
Hi everyone, Our students would like to review their survey responses after submitting their survey. I am thinking this is probably a permissions selection. Does anyone know which permission for the Student role on Surveys would allow this view? Thanks in advance, Linda

Using Brightspace Course as an Instructor & Admin Handbook
I'm in the process of drafting an Instructor/Admin handbook for our programs. This is used for everything from onboarding, to live session training, to HR resources, etc. I thought the Brightspace platform would be a great place to present this. Espcially since a good portion in the learning and teaching section refer to…

SCORM not resetting as expected
We recently migrated from Blackboard and experiencing some issues with SCORM packages. In Blackboard, SCORM module used to open in a new window, and if a student was unsuccessful, closing and reopening the window would reset it to the start, but this cannot be replicated in Brightspace as it only opens in a same/new tab so…
