Hello, I'm looking for the Online readiness completion certificate that I've never received.

We have feedback that the font size is too small in the Practices. Is there any way our org can change this?

I am having trouble downloading the Respondus LockDown Browser without the garbage extension. According to Respondus I need a 9digit school ID code? Where can I find that information?

I have a faculty member who noticed in NCE that when they navigate away from Content (say, over to grades) and then select Content again, it no longer goes back to where they were in the Content. "In the new version of D2L, whenever I open Content, it takes me back to the beginning of the table of contents. In the old…

Is it possible to set up a separate set of metadata for each Learning Object Repository (LOR)? So for LOR A we want Metadata A to be filled in and for LOR B we want Metadata B (with different fields) to be filled in. You can select a different view and fill it in via 'Edit metadata' during publishing, but if you click…

Any way to bulk delete events in Manage Dates? Deleting incorrect office hour events one by one is not fun.

Hello Brightspace Community, We are using Brightspace Portfolios for the first time this semester and are currently setting up our portfolio workflow. Our intended workflow is: Students submit an assignment in Brightspace. The instructor assesses the assignment. The student adds the assessed assignment to their portfolio.…

I spent a lot of time constructing banners with images relevant to my courses. The darkening covers almost the entire banner, obscuring my efforts to visually stimulate and engage learners. I have to question whether techies who impose these kinds of changes actually consult educators. The darkening should at least be…

Is anyone currently using Brightspace Portfolio with the assignment settings "Add Own Assignment to Portfolio" enabled? I'm testing this option and am not seeing any difference in the student submission experience. From the student's perspective, the assignment submission process appears unchanged. If you've used either of…

I want to create a survey with dropdown boxes instead of, for example, a Likert scale. Is there any way to do that? I have been looking, but not seeing it anywhere.

Hi D2L Community, CMCC already uses Brightspace as our LMS. I recently spoke with CMCC’s Instructional Designer (Natalee S.) to inquire if there were supported ways to make Brightspace Rubrics faster to create/build for instructors and institutions. What I’m trying to do: Create new Brightspace analytic rubrics from an…

An instructor asked me the following question: "I need one reusable course shell for both 8-week and 16-week sections. Almost all content is the same, but Week 1’s Menu & Recipes needs two different versions. I want to store both versions in the shell, show students only the version appropriate to that section, and avoid…

Can we prevent students from dismissing a particular announcement in the announcement widget?

Hi All, I have a custom widget that I have created and want to set up the release condition to be based on the role that the user is enrolled on within the course offering that the widget is displayed on; not there overaching higher org level release condition. So I've set my widget up that the release condition is…

How do i view/download my final grade, as a student/learner

Hi everyone, Given that an automatic late penalty is not a feature in Brightspace (and not gaining much traction in PIE), I am curious how other institutions/organisations are currently applying deductions for late submission penalties, please? Mostly, our academics are calculating this manually, but this is time-consuming…

We are looking at potentially incorporating some asynchronous elements into our programs. The idea is to have students watch a lecture video and the assignment or activity is not complete until the video is watched completely. We also want to lock down the video so they can't skip through or increase the speed. Is anyone…

I use Discussions for students to post answers to reading questions. I moderate the posts and approve them after they're due. The goal is for students to be able to refer to their classmates answers to study for tests. But I'd like to be able to privately respond to students' answers. I can't do that on approved or…

I see that we can now edit existing assignments to change them to Selectbox grading. This is a welcome update. Can new Turnitin assignments be created with Selectbox grading item type?
