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

Wondering if there is a way to disable the task assignments (see "Assign Task" at the bottom of the image) or even better would be to disable users from seeing other users with access to the dashboard. Viewers of the report dashboard don't really need to know who all has access to the dashboard at our institution. And the…

I am wondering if there are marking schedules where you can set categories for marks (like 0-3, 3.1-5.0, 5.1-7.5, 7.6-10.0) I want to have a continuum of grades that can be allocated an comments in the rubric or marking guide can be dragged or dropped as feedback and the best mark given. Often whole specific marks for a…

I have used Pulse the past two years but this year my current active course doesn't show up in Pulse.

I have the ability to create certificates - but I am looking to potentially send a certificate to a mass group of student's that received a Dean's List distinction for their grade performance. Are you able to issue a certificate to a group of students without searching individually for each student? ie. If I had a…

We have a Student Hub in Brightspace with key student info with several announcements posted. Does dismissing announcements from this space prevent notifications for dismissed announcements getting sent out when new students are enrolled on this space?

Hi, I have typed out my answer in a HTML enabled written response question, but I am unsure if I clicked outside the text field or not ( I understand that for a HTML enabled written response question, auto-save occurs when I click outside the text field), however, I did click on next page, currently, I am wondering whether…

I am finding that when I course copy a D2L, my visual media in my question libraries end up with broken links. I've tried to upload and store audio and visual media files in organized folders in document management (i.e. media isn't linked from external sources, but has instead been uploaded/stored in courses itself), yet…

Hi All, I did a custom build of a somewhat complicated Data Flow using Insights Report Builder. Does anyone know a way to duplicate a DataFlow? The current one works, but I'd like to see if I can make some improvements without breaking it. Domo has directions but I do not not see the option to copy in the wrench dropdown.…

Is using "Quiz" the only way to activate lockdown browser in BrightSpace? How can I activate lockdown browser if i am using "Assignment" feature instead during a proctored session?

The SIS course merge tool works great for allowing faculty to merge/unmerge course shells, but I am looking for a way tp auto-disable this tool once classes have started, so based on the course start date. Is this possible?

Hi all, I'm very new to brightspace. Been trying in vain to find or create the tab Quick Eval. Can anyone help?

Is this the forum I use to do my on line courses??

I can no longer locate how to generate a help desk ticket/talk to a rep. This is a time-consuming effort and I am not sure I understand why we no longer have that on the homepage. Can I get a direct link or instructions to where I need to go to get help?

I'm trying to turn on sms notifications but the text message confirmation code will not go to my phone. I've verified my phone number 3 times on the site. I have clicked and confirmed it said it resent a new code each time. Nothing is coming through.

When I have a quiz open to students for a few days, I do not want them to see what they got right or wrong immediately for fear that they will share answers with those who haven't taken the quiz yet. Once the quiz is closed, however, I'd like them to be able to see what they got right and wrong, and what the correct…

Can I as an instructor display discussion posts and any replies to that post at the same time?

I am wondering if you can award/send a certificate to any student at the University? I have an idea to create a specific certificate for a group of students - but need to know if you can award the certificate to certain students and not students just in one course.

Are quiz start and end dates required?

I'm trying to add my TA to the course to access. I am not sure what role to assign as I can't find a TA designation. I am not sure the best way to do it.

A new feature of the preview window is a sidebar that cuts screen space down. How do I toggle that off permanently?
