Attendance register questions
I use the D2L/Brightspace attendance register feature for my in-person courses. Is there any way to set up the attendance register so it has a "freeze panes" feature similar to the gradebook spreadsheet? For example, a semester-long course would have many attendance days. If I want to check the attendance totals at the end…

How a quiz can be made to one student only so it's not calculated in other students' final grades
How a quiz can be made to one student only so it's not calculated in other students' final grades? I made a quiz for one student so that no one else can see it. Still, in the grade book, it appears as part of the final weighted grade calculation for everybody. What could be a solution? I thought of exempting all other…

Student says that Brightspace "lost" his assignment
A graduate student received an "F" because he did not submit his assignment on Brightspace.

Need a new feature to prevent fake Confirmation for Submission for quizzes
I asked students to show the confirmation of submission for the online test before leaving the room. However, some students used screenshots of previous tests to be allowed to leave and then continued taking the test outside the room. In large classes, it’s challenging to verify the submission online. A useful feature…

Can I use Surveys to have students evaluate courses?
Specifically what I am proposing is to have a course evaluation survey copied to every course by Super Admin. This survey is not editable by the faculty of the course, and can be completed by all students enrolled in the course with the results sent to an appropriate dean or program chair. Is this possible? Is there a…

PowerPoint No Longer Loads in D2L
I have a PowerPoint that will no longer load in D2L. It hasn't had any problems loading in D2L until this current semester. I have tried removing the 3 GIFs in the PowerPoint and re-uplaoding; however, that had no effect. Does anyone know how we can test a PowerPoint to find out why it will not load in D2L? The file is…

Can I preview a quiz as student to confirm that it's available and working?
Students are emailing me telling me they cannot see the quiz. I review the quiz and notice that it's hidden. That makes sense, because I was working on this quiz and forgot to unhie it. But now I want to make sure that it's actually available and working for the students. How do I do that? When I preview as student there…

Availability start and end dates
I have a quiz that has an Availability start time of 10:00 and an Availability end time of 10:55. The quiz has a time limit of 50 minutes. If I have students who are eligible to receive extra time, in addition to giving them the extra time, do I also need to change the Availability end time? My understanding was that the…

If we change the account owner of our Zoom account, will this impact the Zoom integration with D2L?
Our D2L has been integrated with our company Zoom account by the owner of the Zoom account who is also the Super Administrator of our D2L account. If we change the account owner on Zoom, does the new account owner in Zoom also need to have Super Administrator rights on D2L or are standard Administrator rights sufficient to…

Tips and Tricks category
Howdy. I'm posting this in the Training category, but what I'd love to see is a separate Tips and Tricks category. Brightspace and Course Merchant are so deep, there's no way you can know it all. I have a few things that I had to just figure out by myself or with the help of D2L people because what I wanted to do had no…
