I am a member of the Brightspace Community and therefore tend to look for events, webinars, and other learning resources on the community site. Why aren't the D2L.com/events not linked somewhere within the Brightspace Community? Or are they there and I just can't find them? Searching for an event title brings no results.

Hello I've set up a Professional Standards audit using the survey tool but unfortunately our members can't see their responses after submission. As a result, I believe I need to set it up now as a quiz so that our members can have multiple attempts and see their previous responses. Can you advise . . . Is there a quick way…

My account automatically signs me into my first school's profile.

My institution is currently setting up SIS integration between our ERP system, Colleague, and Brightspace. Any feedback feedback you can provide about your experiences would be helpful, particularly around issues like how to associate courses with programs. That doesn't seem possible (or at least easy).

Hello. I would like to know how to show my manually typed feedback for students, under each question in quizzes. Students reported they can see my feedback for some weeks, but cannot see my feedback for other weeks. I don't know much about the setting, but from my end, they all look same. What can i do to fix this issue ?
