Recipients of Announcement
Do all registered students receive announcements or notification of announcements?
Including the student's name in an announcement
Hello all - I remember there is a way to add the student's name in an announcement to make it more personal in D2L, but I've looked through past documentation, and I can't find out how to do it. It's something like "Hello {NAME} or [NAME], but neither of those work when I impersonate the Demo student. I will keep trying,…
importing release conditions in course package?
I am working on a GUI in python and Qt that allows me to modify announcements efficiently for populating a course by uploading zip file (news_d2L.xml and imsmanifest.xml). The core functionality works and upload is successful, but the condition_set tag is not set in the course package import. Ideally, the import process…
Announcement Organization
I would like to be able to organize my announcements under a category/competency. For example, Every couple of days I put an announcement out "Pharm Tip of the Day". I use these same announcements every semester. I would like to be able to organize them into a category, so they are easy to navigate to, as I post throughout…
An assignment activity was completed but not reflecting in grade?
How to migrate announcements from Blackboard Learn to Brightspace
My Blackboard Learn course has about 70 announcements that are now unavailable for students to view because their end dates were in the past. I keep them that way, and each semester I activate them at various times by setting new start dates. When my Blackboard course gets exported and then imported to Brightspace, will…
Replacement for Slim Announcements
Hello, Is there a replacement or something similar to the slim announcement widget? We are looking for an announcement widget that doesn't take up the whole course home page when an instructor posts a long announcement, but rather prompts the student to "read more" so the learner see the rest of the widget on the homepage…
Why are announcements showing to learners when the release conditions are NOT met?
For some reason this one course we have had issues with announcements showing in error. We have 2 conditions that should BOTH be met before this announcement shows however it's showing to students who have passed. Is there something we are missing? Several of us have looked it over and checked the quiz also and found…
how to customize an announcement for individual students
how would I start an announcement by using "Hi" followed by each individual student instead of "everyone"?
Display/hide author info on announcements
Hello, As a superadmin, how do I enable the check box that allows the announcement author to select whether their name is displayed? I have tried Thanks, Courtney
Sending announcement to particlular students/courses
I wanted to do a global announcement that would post in courses. I have tried using release conditions under classlist for users enrolled in an org unit at the school level but no success. Do I need it for each course offered or is there an easier way.
How can I create an announcement that will be pushed out to all of my courses at once?
I teach a Math Lab that has 32 courses. Is there a way to create an publish an announcement for all 32 courses without having to go into each individual course? (Same for the 'About Me' widgets) This will take forever!
Announcement with restrictions visible for all members in a course
Hi, When I restrict an announcement in a course for students only and/or for a section only, everybody (all sections, all teachers) will see it. What could be the problem?
Global announcements
Our district is currently setting up multiple schools on Bright Space on the district page. Is there anyway to prevent announcements that are posted from other schools from being automatically posted into our school landing page?
D2L API for News > SortOrder Attribute > Issue?
Hello, Any D2L experts or internal folks here who can explain to me how the SortOrder attribute is supposed to work for the GET /d2l/api/le/(version)/(orgUnitId)/news/ that returns ? In my initial testing, I see multiple News Items being returned with the exact same value here even after pinning. Multiple items with…
