These avenues offer courses and articles about accessibility to enhance accessibility knowledge and a group of accessibility enthusiasts to stay connected with.

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…

We have the Kultura video extension in Brightspace, and if I go to my media, I can access all my Kultura videos. I can add new videos from there (media upload) or use the personal capture, which will open the software on my desktop. Everything I record there will be uploaded automatically to Kultura, which will populate my…

I have used the BDS API to get as far as Content Object schema Plugin extracts to download a CSV file of content: ContentObjectId,OrgUnitId,Title,ContentObjectType, … 11111111,222222,File,Topic, … Is there a way to programmatically download, via an API, the ContentObjectId from the OrgUnitId?

One of our faculty committees uses a continuous D2L course page to receive submissions for review. Right now, committee members are enrolled in that course page as instructors so that they can review all submissions. However, we are now experiencing an issue for those committee members who ALSO need to be able to submit…

We have recently moved to a distributed administration structure, and it appears that our instructors are no longer able to create shared folders or add collaborators to existing folders in the media library. I suspect this may be because of the users permissions that are required for the instructor role to do this, but…

We have an at risk student report within DOMO analytics builder and we want to start using it to track student performance. The problem we are running into is that the report doesn't include anything from the current semester. The latest data it has is from Fall 2025. Can someone help me update the report so that it is up…

My success in using Lumi Quiz based of a single course file (PDF) is inconsistent (mostly failed than passes unfortunately). Sometimes the generations work (when I specifically pick a Bloom's Taxonomy level instead of leaving it optional), sometimes it did not (and the error says that there is insufficient content). My PDF…

How do I create a discussion on the D2L?

How can I upload multiple files into content and have them saved in proper subdirectories in Manage files. Like we used to be able to do ?

We have recently moved to a distributed administration structure, and it appears that our instructors are no longer able to create shared folders or add collaborators to existing folders in the media library.

For most of our faculty, quizzes will be part of the grade for the class. When setting up a quiz, the default is for it not to be in the gradebook. While it is in my opinion easy to choose to add it to the gradebook, I am wondering if there is a way for admins to change the default to gradebook, or if faculty could set all…

Submissions for assignments can be bulk downloaded, but they default to a zip file with individual folders for each student. Each folder must be opened. I'm trying to find an efficient way to download, for printing, all submissions. Any help is greatly appreciated.

When I try to take the quiz it says the instructor needs to use the LockDown Browser "dashboard" to enable the settings.
