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

I don't understand why I cannot view in Preview mode from Assignments, student work saved as a docx file. Why does Brightspace change the formatting from a submitted docx file. Things like spacing, paragraphs, pagination, etc. is ALL different most of the time. I shouldn't have to download and use my hard disk resources to…

I'd like to know if it's possible to change the Nav bar colour in a specific department without affecting the other departments or org units so all org units in that department would show a different nav bar colour. I'm hoping to be able to make an easily recognizable change to all the org units in the new department.…

Moving from Moodle to Brightspace, all of my courses are by default set to only "File Submission" and I want "File or Text Submission" as the default. Other than going into every assignment manually, is there a faster way to make this change globally for this and every other course I have? On the same track, but less…

Hello, I’m setting up an online course, and I want to use release conditions to control access to content. I noticed that when I add release conditions at the course level, the whole course becomes hidden until the conditions are met. What I’m hoping for is slightly different: I’d like all units to appear in the course…

I want to create new users using Bulk User Management tool and insert a generic password. Is there a way to force users to change their password the first time they log in? Kind regards, Eric

Can you please restore the old quiz evaluation view? The new view requires more scrolling than the old view and is inefficient. A filter that allows you to only see questions that were answered incorrectly would also greatly increase efficiency when marking.

Hi everyone, We are attempting to create associations between Parent and Guardian role and their child/student. However, I am only finding documentation with API information and mention of the CSV. When attempting to use the CSV, there is limited information so I am unsure the structure that is required. Hoping for some…

I have created videos for an online class by recording my screen or capturing what I am doing on a document camera. What software would you recommend for editing videos so that they are more engaging and interactive and not just my speaking over a slideshow?

How can you export a Brightspace zip file?

Hi everyone, We are trying to find out if there's a way to check which staff member deactivated a student account in Brightspace. I’ve heard this might be possible through Admin Tools > Audit Logs, but I can’t find that option in my interface. I suspect I may not have the right permissions, but before escalating to our…

I am doing testing on removing our due dates from assignments and quizzes. Upon accessing our assignments, i am able to copy the GET request, paste it into body/raw, and PUT my changes. But when i do it with our Quizzes i keep getting a 400 Error. (all of this information in this quiz is a placeholder for my sandbox) GET…

I have been removed as a teacher for several courses when they were transferred to other teachers. However, those classes still appear in my Multi-course Quick Eval. Below is an image of what I see. I do not teach any of these courses listed. I realize that I may filter out these courses, but the filter resets every time I…

Is there anything in D2L that provides a video STOP when typing feedback? I teach American Sign Language & we previously used GoReact (which does this), but unfortunately there is no funding for this program any longer - so I am searching for other options. Thanks for your help!

Hi folks, When I turn on the display of the "Final Calculated Grade" so that it appears for students at the top of their "Grades" page, it displays in Points format. Is there a way to have this display as a percentage? My grading scheme is set to "Percentage", so there must be some other setting or combo of settings…

What settings do I need to have for the "Final Calculated Grade" to appear at the top of the Grades page like this? I feel like I've tried every permutation of Grade Settings > Org Unit display options and Calculation Options. Thank you!

I am attempting to set a release condition for my quiz. I have three surveys saved into my course already. Whenever I select the release condition "Survey attempt completed"- brightspace says "no surveys available". Why is Brightspace not recognizing that I have surveys in the system.
