For all of the files I've created there is a big blanks space at the end of the published file.
When I've finished using the html editor to input my lesson and materials and save the file, there's a large empty space at the end before the editing options etc. at the end. The extra space isn't visible in the html editor, only after the file is saved/published. The blank space is insanely long and confusing for…

Is it possible to allow instructors to unenroll without giving enrol permissions?
Our students are currently rostered in courses from our SIS using CSV Standard. When instructors merge their courses, SIS course registrations are added to the new parent course which is great.

H5P - How to get these activities into your grade book?
I've made a some formative reviews using the fill in the blank QType with H5P — but I'm not sure how to get these to automogically get into my grade book. I tried making "Assignments" — H5P grades these, but then doesn't seem to add them to the grade book. I thought maybe I should use the "Quiz" and insert into…

How can teachers ensure they see student submissions immediately when they are submitted?
Hello, One of our teachers is reporting that she is not always seeing student submissions in real time when they are submitted. As a result, she has assigned students to extra blocks of catch up time, not knowing the student has already submitted their work. The students have been able to produce their confirmation emails…

Has anyone been encountering problems with Release Conditions lately?

QType — Description — Need a break between Sections when there are no Questions in a Section
I need students to be able to read some text. Then move to a new Section (next page) with questions. I can only add my reading to a new Section, but even though I create a new Section (and have selected "Add page break after every section") — there is no page break between the two. I have found if I add a Section with a…

Quiz sharing from the repository
I want to confirm that I should be able to create a question bank and a quiz, locate it in the repository and share it out to multiple courses. Any updates to the questions for the quiz in the repository should automatically be reflected in each course's quiz. A workflow would be greatly appreciated.

How to prevent courses from blackbaud in previous year to show up in brightspace, which syncs daily
For the 23-24 school, within Blackbaud, we did all the “usual steps” in terms of graduating/promoting the students up for the 24-25 school year. That was done in June 2024. Brightspace syncs nightly from Blackbaud, and we’ve just learned that the 23-24 school year is still active in Brightspace, populating all those…

User login data
Is it possible to pull user login data for a whole year? I've gone into data hub and can see the data set for user login but it seems to do it by day. I want to pull an average of how often people are logging in every week but don't massively want to have to do it via loads of spreadsheets. It also seems to only go back to…

Web Filtering
I support a primary school which is looking to start using D2L Brightspace. I want to make sure their Smoothwall filtering system isn't blocking anything that they need, before they start using it.

Can I use one grade item for two assignments?
I have two versions of the same assignment. Students can only access one version and it produces a mark depending on which group they belong to. So I end up with two columns of marks. Each student has a mark for the assignment they did and a zero for the assignment they don't have access to. What I want is one column of…
