RE: Helpful Suggestions to Include in Portfolio

Hello D2L Team,
I am writing this email as a result of a teacher conference that I went to last week Thursday and Friday. One of the conferences was titled 'The Wonders of Brightspace Portfolio' and during that conference a lot of great information was shared. However, as a user of Portfolio, there were some questions and suggestions that I brought up to the presenter, which several other teachers agreed with. Therefore, I decided to request that these suggestions be added to Portfolio to help make using it a lot more time efficient.


One of the suggestions is providing a selection box beside each students' evidence, so that we can click on all of the students' evidence that we would like to add the same title for, 'class category/categories' and/or 'expectation(s)' for (instead of doing this for every single student individually and for each of their shared evidence from several submissions). This takes a lot of time.
My final suggestion is allowing the students to hear their recording before it is submitted and having the opportunity to erase and re-record when using Funster. A lot of my students use the recording feature and wish that this was an opportunity, as they are young and sometimes make mistakes when recording. I do know that they can start the process of taking a picture again and re-recording that way, but again this gives me more work because then I have to go into the system and erase their previous submission, which can sometimes be confusing or deleting errors may happen. Also, sometimes there is limited time with class devices... so when they get to use them they want to make it worth it. 


I hope that my email is clear and that these suggestions will be taken into consideration and added to Portfolio, as this school board will one day require teachers to use Brightspace exclusively, but there is no extra time added to the day.
Regards, --

Kay

    Hi Kareen,

    Thanks for bringing this wealth of information to our attention!

    If you wouldn't mind, could you raise these as tickets in our Product Idea Exchange? I've attached the link below for you to do so. That way it can find its way in front of our product developers' eyes!

    Here's the link: https://desire2learn.brightidea.com/ideas/boards

    Cheers,

    Owen

    Please assist further if you can!?

    Hi Kareen,

    Let me get this sorted for you.

    Most PIE Access problems can be resolved by following/confirming that you're taking the following two steps:


    1. Please follow the steps outlined in this article to re-initiate the verification that will connect you to PIE on your next login to the Brightspace Community: https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/5459-community-faqs#how-can-i-access-the-product-idea-exchange-pie

    2. PIE can't be accessed directly. You must login to the D2L Brightspace Community first!
    To access PIE:- Login to the Brightspace Community- Select 'Product Idea Exchange from the navbar or from the quick link menu found on the Community Homepage - Once inside PIE, you can search for the PIE item you are looking for, or create a new item.

    Let me know if you're able to access PIE after reviewing those steps.

    Cheers,

    Owen
