Hey everyone, New student here, older student who has been out of school for the last 30 years. I purchased a digital edition ebook and my teacher said I needed to DL Adobe Digital Editions to view my book. When I go to the 'Authorize your device' portion of the login, I select Campus eBookstore but below it asks Vendor…

Assignments

Is it possible to add Assignment due dates to the Calendar? The only option I see is to add the start/end dates, but our due dates are not showing on the calendar, is that possible to do?

Hi, this is my firts post. I'm new with brightspace, but i have experience with other LMS.

I’m looking for some clarification on the “Copy to Other Courses” permission for the Announcements tool. Currently, this option is not enabled for our Instructor role, and before making any changes I’d like to better understand what enabling it would allow. My understanding is that it would let instructors copy…

Previously, one of our staff members was able to access the Surveys tool directly from the main homepage via Admin Tools. From there, they could search across courses (including multiple terms) and pull survey results without needing to enter each course individually. It now appears that this option is no longer available.…

Our suborg admins would like to be able to impersonate users within their suborg. We have those permissions turned on for that role, but realized we likely need to have the permissions turned on for the learner role as well, since that is how suborg admins are enrolled at the org level. While we don't want learners to be…

Hi, we want to extend the length of the audio capture option in Brightspace: Right now it's 30 minutes but we would like it to be 60 minutes. I found some old posts mentioning config variables for this, but i can't seem to find those variables….is there any way we can extend this to 60 minutes? Thanks! Regards Roel

I seem to remember at one point we could scroll to the bottom of a course page and see when that page was created/last edited. This was in Classic. Can we still see this or add this in for NCE? Is there a config variable I've just missed?

There are some features that I would LOVE to see incorporated. Are any of these on a list of possible updates?Automatic late submission penalty Automatic late submission penalty Inserting a picture has a search box available to find files by name Default number of students is set to max (attendance, grades) Sending emails…

Hi folks…..I have two evaluation profiles in my course outline for students. If they opt out of journals and problem sets, then the weight of their tests goes up by 20 % and is now 70% weighting and the final remains the same 30% weighting. my question is around those students who are opting out of journals and problem…

What do I do if criterion 1 has 4 levels but criterion 4 only has 3? Example: Criterion 1 is for evidence, so the full marks are for all required sources being present, then level 3 is most are present, level 2 has less than half present, and level 1 is no sources present or properly cited. But then Criterion 4 is for MLA…

I am developing a custom widget to automate the creation of Assignment (Dropbox) folders within specific course offerings for a semester. I am successfully using the POST route /d2l/api/le/(version)/(orgUnitId)/dropbox/folders/ to create the folders. However, I need to ensure the submission setting is set to: 'Overwrite…

If we apply a grading scheme to a program level, does it effect open courses? We want it to only apply to future courses in the program, is that possible?

Good morning, I have 2 questions: I've created multiple multiselect Q quizzes, I would like a student to be able to select any correct answer and get full marks instead of 0.2/0.33 etc per answer - ie there are 4 correct answers, student selects 2 and gets the full 1 point. Is there any way I can do this? When the student…

Wondering if there is a way to download data from datasets? Closest thing, I have seen so far is - export to csv option in the visual dashboard - but only the data presented in the visual can be exported for that feature.. wondering if I am not looking at right place.. 

Hi D2L, I noticed that there seems to be visual differences even when using NCE. I noted the differences between two of my courses and I would like to find out why. Could you share please? Thank you. Most of our courses still retain the visual look and feel of the left display. But, the right display shows a sleeker…

Is there a way to see the number of views for a specific initial post or reply in a Brightspace discussion? I see the discussions in this D2L Community site include "views" so why can't the discussions in our courses also have that feature? 🙂

about 30% of our faculty are using Google Classroom and enjoy the functionality of google assignments. We have integrated google workspace and assignments with Brightspace, and the process works OK, but not great, and I do understand why faculty do not want to move away from google classroom because of google assignments…
