Uploading .xlsx files to Content - any config settings here?
Hello, I've noted that when uploading .xlsx files (Microsoft Excel files) to a course's content, it automatically converts the file to a .pdf file. A workaround I use is saving the Excel file as a .csv file as that file type does not get converted. Is there any way to configure our site so that .xlsx files do not get…

Replies to discussion posts
Why not put a reply button on each discussion thread instead of having to click the title and then clicking the reply button? Same thing if you want to view replies to a thread. Why not show at least a couple replies below the post?

Pre-checking rubrics when grading.
Hello, Is there a way to configure rubrics to be pre-checked to the highest mark per criteria so that I don't have to check a grade for each criteria. Some of my rubrics can be quite long and I'd ideally like to have the rubric assume that the student will receive full marks on the rubric and I can then adjust certain…

Hello Brightspace Community! I'm wondering if anyone has used Brightspace to evaluate OSCEs or in-person practical exams. We are currently still evaluating practical exams using paper-based evaluation forms and I am looking for creative ways to digitalize this process. Thank you for your input. Melissa

Gradebook auto-setting with weighting. Is this scenario possible?
In my course, students earn their grade by submitting their homework (75 points), I give 4 tests, each one worth 100 points (400 points total), and a final exam (125 points). When I calculate their final grade, the final exam grade replaces the lowest test score, if it improves their grade. Is there a way to tell D2L to do…

Markdowns automatic in Content Editor?
Hello, I was just curious if there was a way to turn automatic markdown updates off, whether it's a browser setting or a setting in Brightspace. Like if I wanted to italicize something, I'd do " * Italicize this *", without the spaces. You can really do it with anything on this: https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/…

Save button unresponsive on quiz creation
Made a quiz and tried to save it, but the save button is unresponsive. I ended up hitting the "back" button, and it of course warned me that it would delete any unsaved data, which is what happened. I figured it was a fluke, maybe I got signed out on D2L/internet dropped out, etc. So I made a new quiz and put in a bunch of…
