Alternative Sign-In Options for Brightspace

I am using NVDA; I used tab to navigate and spacebar to select the responses. Would it be best practice to have the feedback announced (or at least the presence of the feedback announced, with an…

Edit?
Minor rant. Does anyone understand why the EDIT button - arguably a button/menu item that is in extremely common use - is not visible on each content page? Why for the love of my sanity is it HIDDEN IN A DROP DOWN MENU? Please resume your normal, professional day.

Accessibility report animation
I am typing a description for a module. As I type, the 'accessibility monitor' animates, like a speedometer. it is distracting. How can i turn this off? Also, a frowny face emoji consistently shows up next to a document I have scanned in as a resource for students. This is distracting (and, kind-of rude, towards me). How…

Can have an early release of a module for a student?

I'm thinking a group of one and set a release condition, but when I do that, it only makes that module available for that single student. Would we have to remove the release condition at some point for the student, or…

According to what I found in my research, there should be a contrast setting under Account Settings. I could not find this option under settings. This is an urgent issue for one of our students. Please advise. Thank You

Monitoring Admin and Instructor Activity in Brightspace
Does Brightspace offer a feature that allows a super administrator to track the actions and changes made by other admins or instructors—such as an activity log or audit trail?

Please hire neurodivergent user experience designers, D2L needs help
Currently, D2L is an accessibility quagmire and is currently so difficult to use that the process of elucidating all the things wrong with it would completely overwhelm me. If I feel like this, I'm certain other neurodivergent students are also experiencing difficulty. It is good that Brightspace is aware of web…

However, I have learned that the lines in the textbox, when shortcutted in, appear invisible to students. For example, I have a…
