Hey Community Members!📣
We need your help to decide how our new Search tool (coming soon) should function! Connect with our community poll to tell us "When searching within an article, where do you want the search function to pull answers from❓"
Always grateful for your partnership to help guide community decisions🤗 -
What about choosing "in this article" and "in this site?" in bullet or checkboxes, depending on how loosy-goosy you want to be.
-
@Julie.L.787 Would I be correct in assuming that the new Search tool that searches "within an article" is NOT intended to replace the top-level "Have questions? Find answers here…" Search in: feature found on the Community homepage?
-
Thanks for chiming in here with your feedback! Yes, we believe that we will be able to support your search experience so that you are choosing to either search within an article or the entire site.
-
Great question! All of search is expected to be improved, including new search functionality within articles and documentation, as well as within the 'Ask a question' space. Grateful for your feedback and willingness to share.

We have added a brand new resource into the D2L Brightspace Learning Center! 🎉
Introduction to Cybersecurity for K-12 School System Leaders
What is the course about?
As technology has become pervasive across K-12 schools, so too has the cybersecurity threat from bad actors to penetrate school systems, hack sensitive data, and hold schools ransom.
This course was developed by D2L and Sinclair College in response to this significant cybersecurity threat, and the need for system leaders to acquire the general knowledge and approaches necessary to protect your community and the continuity of learning.
Participants will learn about cybersecurity threats, mitigation practices, and key steps for breach prevention and response. Interactive activities will help you assess and improve your understanding, while actionable tools and frameworks will support your organization in evaluating and improving your district's preparedness.
