I’m trying to make a quiz that uses the same variables in two different questions, or ideally, have two different answer blanks in the same question. E.g.: If a vector A has components Ax = [rand1] and Ay = [rand2], Calculate the magnitude of the vector A Calculate the angle the vector A points at I’m running into the…

Hi, I'm a Super Admin for our Brightspace environment. Prior to becoming super admin, I was enrolled as a section instructor in a few courses. After becoming Super Admin, for some reason, I was still not able to access that course as anything other than instructor. I could see myself enrolled as a section instructor but…

We've had a couple of instructors notice a new issue when grading in Dropbox. Certain pdfs turned in to Dropbox behave strangely when we try to highlight a section and copy it into something else. Here's an example in a video: A live course that is having that issue is this one: Jaclyn Roberts paper for the Chapter 5…

I recently created a course - that combined two courses into one. The one course was added as just a module of the course - but it has 5 sections that each equate to 10 points & then the rest of the 6 Modules is released. The issue were having is the Final Grade for the First Module (5 sections) is not being calculated. I…

A user gets this error when clicking into a course homepage (the error re-appears if you click OK, navigate to content, and click back to Course Home): An embedded page at cdn.lcs.brightspace.com says Error retrieving credentials Any idea what is causing this?

Greetings! I've had some students ask if it were possible to disable the opening of new tabs in a browser when they click on the Go to Discussion link. I did a screen capture and posted what I think is going on to my students. But I wonder if there is, in fact, a way of disabling the "new window" approach and simply have…

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…

Good Afternoon Everyone, I am an admin for my school's D2L. My instructors are having issues accessing Advanced Editing for videos. New → Video or Audio → Upload When the video fully uploads and process there should be an option for "advanced editing" underneath it. Next to "change file" For my admin account, I can see…

For example, if I have multiple courses in Brightspace, and I wanted to search through all of them to see if I used a specific YouTube video or a link to an external website, etc., in any of them, is there a way to do that?

Hi, We have a number of modules that have some banner text on them relating to the year and I just wondered if there was some way to narrow down those specific modules and update the year on the banner text in mass rather than having to do each module one by one. E.g. a set of modules which have the title Moderation xxxx…

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/…

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…

Can a learner add a to-do item or event in the Upcoming tab in the PULSE app?

Hello, We have an instructor who needs to upload materials to the LOR. She's running into an issue with some of the content where an error reading "Error: The thread was being aborted" appears. Could this be due to the file size of the content? Please see the attached screenshot for reference.

I imported quiz sections from Blackboard. In Blackboard, the questions were set to random answers but I don't see that that copied over into Brightspace. How can I set those answers to random order without having to manually edit each individual question (I have hundreds)?

I have set up a color scheme for my quizzes and applied it to all of my quizzes. (The same scheme for all quizzes.) However the subtotal (which I don't seem to be able to apply the scheme to) is being colored in some kind of weird approximation of the color scheme for most grade ranges (though the top range is the default…

Is there a way to set up an intelligent agent to generate a report for a given date range for learner's who have earned an award in a particular org unit?

Aren't questions already mandatory as they are originally created and as long as they are not a bonus question?

We have templates available via Public Files for our instructors to use, but recently we have noticed that sometimes a line of code gets added randomly and it messes up our own CSS. <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://templates.lcs.brightspace.com/lib/assets/css/styles.min.css">This code keeps appearing underneath our own…
