When I test a fill in the blank quiz using the answer key, I get answers wrong. Once I got 15/16 and once I got 14/16. The issue seems to be with "Case Insensitive" which isn't working the way I would expect. Even thought I set the quiz up to tell me incorrect answers it shows ALL my answers and doesn't tell me which ones…

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…

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 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 :)

I'm trying to set a release condition so that the next unit would open when the average score on the previous unit is a certain percentage. I don't see a way to do this? I have created a calculated grade item for the unit, and have release conditions on each assignment so they must complete each to move on. I know I would…

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'm wondering if I give two attempts for a quiz and select “display all questions and answers”, will it only reveal those answers after the SECOND attempt? I don't want students to receive the answers before their second attempt obviously :)

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…

We have had several faculty members try embedding MS Stream videos into their courses and run into several issues related to permissions. Basically, even if a video is set to be available to anyone to watch, they get an error in Brightspace saying "You don't have access." Has anyone else run into similar issues and/or…

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…

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 :)

I have created a new multiple choice quiz and when I test it, it says "Pending Evaluation". Just to clarify, there are no written response questions in this quiz -- only multiple choice questions. Another multiple choice quiz I made in the past is working as expected and giving a percentage mark upon completion. I'm not…

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 

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

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…
