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

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 have removed the display for now but it is confusing to show 'topics' and have students think that they have finished a topic when there are still assignments to complete. I want the progress meter to show 'assignments' in that table of contents widget instead. Is there a way to do that?

Why would the list of upcoming work exclude the work due over the next two weeks for some students, but not all. For more detail: Students who are mostly on track with posted due dates see all work due for the next two weeks, as well as all work due for the next few months. Students who have a long list of overdue work…

Two requests for the dropdown fill in the blank Creator + Practice. First, the right minus wrong feature does not work for us, please fix. Second, it would be perfect if the users could check their answers without completing every dropdown. We have a use where the teacher would like to give a timed test, to end at 3min so…

Good morning, I am wondering if there is a way to have the Visual TOC to show topics completed instead of just visited. For example, if a student clicks on a test or assignment, but doesn't actually complete it, the Visual TOC will show as complete. I am wondering if I am missing a setting. Thank you! Laurel

I have a student that seems to be moving quickly through the course content and interactive videos. which made me curious why he's been able to finish things so quickly. When I've looked at the 'Content Progress' section of the 'Class Progress' tool, it is showing that he's made one visit, spent a good chunk of time on…

Ive read the page on the slim announcements widget, but it is not available in my org. Using the Slim Announcements Widget - Brightspace Please help?

We want to make sure that students try to engage with the practice questions in the lesson.

I want to change the d2l.Auth.Sessions.UserSessionLimit (org) from 0 (infinate) to 1 so that learenrs cannot have a second session open when doing tests, there was some concern over cheating. If i set this to one will that do the trick or is this a system where behind the scenes it needs more than one session to function.

Hello, On the Content page, I would like to use the space on the right of the screen currently occupied by an empty column so that Content is wider, and less scrolling is required in a Course. I found that I can select different layouts for Homepages that I have personally created, but unfortunately I have not found any…

I have a quiz that involves a lot of LaTex. When students take the quiz, half of the students will not have the LaTeX render. Instead, they see the LaTeX code (ex. \frac{3}{5} ) It either works for every question, or it fails to render for each question. This is happening on lab computers where they are running the same…

When I go to a Student's Progress --> Content --> Topics Visited I believe the time I see only reflects the last time they were there. For instance: I can see a student has visited a Grammar lesson 8X but has only spent 1m 44s there. This does not make sense since she would have watched a video, completed the work and…

Hello. My district is in the process of implementing Brightspace and will be starting our pilot very soon. There are options when setting up email in Brightspace and I'm wondering which way most districts/authorities have gone. Brightspace Email (Course Mail) seems the most similar to what I am familiar with in Moodle.…

My tech team is asking for what the Identifier (Entity ID) and Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL). How do we find this information out? Many thanks!

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. The problem is that when when students are withdrawn from the course in our SIS, there is no way to trigger an automatic…

I NEED HELP! This is my 2nd year using Brightspace with my district and every semester I try to add more to my brightspace platform, The focus this semester is helping out my ESL population and trying to see if I can embed a tool that can translate information i post on brightspace and a tool that does text to speech.

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…
