One of our teachers would like to run a report that shows students their quiz mark and which questions they got wrong. He doesn’t always have access to a class set of Chromebooks, and our province has a personal device ban for students. Because of this, he’s hoping to print a quiz report, hand it out to students, and then…

I wish there was a way to indicate if grade items were formative or summative. Since formative do not factor into grade calculation, it would be great to have a toggle button to look at only one type of evaluation at a time.

I would like to make it so my students can work ahead in the course. I would like to create a release condition that if they complete all of the tasks for a lesson that the next lesson will open up. I can easily figure out how to do that, but then I would also like there to be a release condition that overrides that if a…

We are a k-12 school district and we are set to have portfolio evidence needs to be approved before it enters a portfolio. We would like it changed so when a student wants to put it into the portfolio, we will not need approval from the teacher.

When students send an instant message and I answer it, I don't see a history of that conversation. Is there a way to view this history?

From an administrator point of view, we are trying to figure out how many students are in each course in Brightspace, specifically the class list numbers for every course have in our school. Unfortunately, it looks like the only way to find this data is by individually going into every course and looking at the class list.…

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…

Hi! Has anyone set up a release condition for pacing and progress widget? IS there a way to create an assignment or quiz with a release condition that when they complete their P&P schedule set up that the course will be released? I would like all my students to use this so we can send regular updates through the widget and…

Hello, How can I determine the number of users who have subscribed for email notifications? Thank you.

We have had a number of instances where teacher's information has reverted back to the previous teacher's contact information.. There does not seem to be a rhyme or reason to this, and there is no log that I have found where changes can be viewed. Just curious if anyone else has had any issues similar to this. Thanks,

Is there a way to tell if a student has read feedback on a quiz? In assignments, I see that feedback has been published, and when a student has read the feedback but in quizzes there is no way to see if they have viewed the feedback unless I am missing something. Thank you,

Hi, Is there a way that the Managers can see the quiz results? the Managers can create a Completion report but they don't see the results on the quizzes? Thanks

I want to provide a grade for the initial discussion post and a second grade for the reply. How can this be set up and linked to the gradebook?

Hi, I was wondering if we can extract the assignments, marks and grades from Brightspace to import?

Recently a QUIZ (Course material and Quizzes were provided to me in the shell.) worked fine when I took it for a 'test run' twice (a week before; and day before) However, on the QUIZ night my students couldn't see the multiple choice possibilities. All they could see were the blanks. When I tried to come to the rescue, I…

I've had my courses set to "File Submission" because students were able to use the "Comment" field to submit share links (as from Google Docs), or they can use the "Add a File" button if they prefer uploading a file. This is preferable because when the assignment parameters are set to "File and Text Submission" students…

Hello, I am an instructor using D2L for a course, unlike in previous instances when I have used D2L. This year, I am unable to paste an image into the feedback field for individual questions. How can we enable this function?
