Editing JS in Manage Files
Does anybody know why the Manage Files UI allows editing plain text files such as CSS or TXT, but not JS? It'd save a lot of clicks when testing if it allowed editing JS.
Where do I submit a Feature Request?
One of your chat agents referred me here: https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/5459-community-faqs#how-can-i-access-the-product-idea-exchange-pie When I came to this site and looked for "Product Idea Exchange," I only see "Product Idea Exchange (3rd Party Tool)" and when I click on it, it doesn't grant me…
Accessibility of self-assessment feedback for screen readers users
The feedback in the course's self assessment questions contain information that guides the learner to which lessons to review. https://us.v-cdn.net/6036482/uploads/L5BSTC5TNIO7/screen-reader-self-assessment-feedback.mp4 I am using NVDA; I used tab to navigate and spacebar to select the responses. Would it be best practice…
Alternative Sign-In Options for Brightspace
Hi everyone, We’re using Brightspace with the Creator+ package and were wondering if it supports alternative sign-in options like face recognition, fingerprint login, or voice-to-text. Some of our users find it difficult to type in their username and password, so we’re exploring more accessible login methods. Are any of…
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.
Why is the Accessibility checker not ignoring an element?
Hello, I have a professor who created a packaged OER textbook and shares it via the HTML pages on Brightspace. The issue is that when he is using the Accessibility Checker, it flags the figure caption for not having enough contrast since it's light gray. Here's the code he's using: <figure><img…
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?
Hi Folks, Question I got today - "Do you know if we 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…
How does a student change the contrast settings for individual use?
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
