Hi everyone, We are looking for a simplified solution to allow external assessors e.g. Clinical placement assessors or work-integrated learning (WIL) placement partners, to view student work or self-evaluation/reflections and provide feedback through a rubric and/or providing comments. Enrolling each one into individual…

I need something that can help us keep track of instructor engagement. Just trying to figure out a way to do this easily (preferably in Domo...even though I know it is going away), This report could include data on: * Number of logins and last login * How many items have (or have not) been graded since the beginning of the…

how do I give 1 point to each student who answered either A or B (but not C or D)? A and B are both reasonably good answers. It see where it will let me give one point to all attempts, but if I want to give a point to those who answered, say, B (where they had not received credit before), will that remove a point from…

We have had several faculty members who have report various issues like the nav bar disappearing, Announcements not being ale to be published, grade book items not being saved, and in some instances clicking on either save, copy all content, publish, and other clickable things it will not register a click or do anything.…

I was able to add a leaderboard (based on total points earned) to my old Blackboard course but that 3rd party add-in (from another college prof who shared his work) is not compatible with Brightspace. The students really liked having the leaderboard that was automatically updated as students earned points. It was engaging…

I had thought the option Hide scores from students in rubric options might do it but, having tested, it doesn't seem to. Regards, Marion

I have a client who is managing several lab courses, scores of sections with thousands of students across I'm not sure how many courses. The labs that meet on different days have different due dates. Right now they are handling this by managing Special Access and setting sue dates for each section. This is quite tedious as…

My team increasingly has requests to run a variety of compliance type trainings out of the same instance of Brightspace that is used for academic instruction. While "technically" easy to do, there are obviously differences in the needs of the folks running these trainings vs. a typical faculty member. Has anyone…

I have created Groups. I have Created Group assignments and Discussions. How Do my students view and access the Groups?

I have a client who is in charge of setting up Assignments for several Biology Labs, each with hundreds of students and at least 20 Sections. Each lab Assignment is due based on the day that the lab takes place during the week. Currently, the best way we have found is to set Special Access for each lab section based on the…

Is there a way to be notified or stop the submission of late quizzes? Currently I have students that submit quizzes late and the grade goes automatically to the gradebook over righting the zero grade that was there. I do not want to put an end date as I want my students to be able to see their assignments after so they can…

I was hoping someone could help and I am just missing something. I have a group project with assignments per group. When I try to publish feedback for one of the assignments, D2L tells me it has published the feedback, but under "Published" it still says 0/10 and none of the students receive the feedback. Any ideas?

Can I add other users to the community under Ball State?

is there a way to use the Bulk user management feature to assign students to groups. I already have the groups made in the course. The groups are based on class year and I want to upload each class year, enroll them in the course and assign them to the group. Is this possible?

Can we change login history that shows for past 30 days to past 60 days in the class progress?

I've been entering a student - enroll, confirm, done - and then when I check back in the classlist they're not there . . . any insight?

If you identify your athletes in Brightspace, how do you do that? Our Athletic Commission is asking for this and to attach the student athlete's game schedule for instructors to be aware and be better able to work around it. Solutions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am currently working on setting up Intelligent Agents and was curious what Release Conditions work best when trying to connect publisher linked content? I was considering 'Has Not Completed Content Topic' since these are external learning tools, does that work to catch if a student has not completed work?

Some of my group assignments include an individual component but the whole piece is submitted together. My current rubric includes both group and individual components but I can't figure out how to get D2L Brightspace to allow me to publish the group grade and then provide a separate individual grade that utilizes the…

When I’m creating a quiz bank, using the random pool option, I cannot import any questions from my question library that are in folders. I’ve tried an apple device and a Microsoft device using Safari and using Google Chrome.
