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

Is there a way for assignments that need to be marked to show up in the order that they were received (and NOT in the order they appear in the course as they seem to in Quick Eval)? For asynchronous courses where students can work at their own pace, this would be ideal. Is there any way for assignments that need to be…

I'm seeing on YouTubes people with these 3rd party options. As the admin I've enabled Google Workspace Intergration but my teachers aren't seeing Google Assignments or Google File Embeded. How/where do I go to enable these?

I have 11 quizzes and pages that cannot be rendered when I view them as a student. How can I make them visible to students? They are completely fine when I view them as a teacher. These were ported over from another host site. I have many other quizzes and pages ported over from the same host site and I am unclear why some…

How can I change the total point value of this quiz (the circled section below)? The quiz had 40 questions, but I have eliminated 20 of them. It still says it is worth 40 points. Does this really matter since I can have the points be whatever I would like in the starred "Grade Out Of" section? Thanks :)

I have a parent whose account doesn't exist in Brightspace. They are in our SIS and associated with the child but they don't exist in Brightspace. Where do I start troubleshooting this? We are using IPSIS Administration to sync our data.

Hi Folks, I am hoping to encourage BrightSpace Community members to support calls for improvements to the BrightSpace quiz tool; specifically more diverse question types and more intuitive workflows to create them. Because, while the recently released D2L Road Map shows planned changes to "big picture" quiz creation (i.e.…

How can I get the number 1 to be above the 3 and beside it's own answer box? I have gone into html to adjust things there, but using trial and error has resulted in a lot of failed attempts. Alternatively, is there a way to include a video and instructions in a quiz ABOVE all questions? The number 1 issue happens because…

I have a number of drag and drop quizzes that I have to modify since this isn't an available quiz in D2L. What type of quiz would be the best alternative? I don't like the fill in the blank quizzes because it becomes a spelling test. (I also don't think the spell check feature is convenient). Please let me know if there is…

I have imported things successfully in the past from one course to another, but for some reason, I can't port two particular quizzes. When I port the quiz, it shows up in my “Quizzes” section, but I can't find it in the content of the course at all. Does anyone know what can be done to remedy this??? Thanks :)

Hey - what I am trying to do is a bit different. Each of the students are responding to their own goals, but I don't want in the gradebook a separate item for each student. For example I would like to have 3rd quarter goal response as the gradebook item, but then link, the assignments for Brown, Jones, and Smith in, even…

I would like to have a descriptive summary on a unit tile that does not show the image source information. I've tried the Shift-Enter approach to see if that would help with spacing, but it seems like it's including X amount of characters in the summary regardless of the spacing. The image source information is showing up…

I have an assignment where students can choose how they represent their learning. IF they choose to submit a written assignment, I would like to use a writing rubric. If they submit a different sort of assignment, I would not want to use the writing rubric and would instead use the feedback box. My wish is that the rubric…

How can I get spaces between paragraphs for course content? I hit enter (obviously), but when I view the final result, paragraphs are often touching each other. Sometimes I would like to have two or more lines between paragraphs to separate things more obviously. Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered :)

Is it possible to add a Brightspace assignment to the portfolio? One of our instructors has an assignment where students have added text and attached a number of photos. She would like to push the entire assignment to the portfolio however we can not see a way to do this. Thanks!

Hello, I am using creator+ and wonder if there is a way to add an element within an element. For example, I used the tabs element and would like to incorporate an accordion within one of the tabs. Thanks for your help, Amy 

Hello! I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can help with my problem. When I see assignments pages with the learner view, the names of the assignments at the very top shows the old assignment names, not the current ones. But I have no idea how to fix this issue. With the facilitator view, I don't really see the old…

I am trying to create an AWARD but the SAVE button is not available to me. Ideas?
