Assignments - why is the feedback read date showing as before the published date?
Hi Can anyone tell me why on some assignment submissions the feedback read date is showing a date before the feedback was published date?
How do I answer discussion questions?
Hello, I’m new to bright space I was wondering how do I submit and answer other students discussion questions for a grade?
D2L erased saved grades
Hi all, I was recently one of three Teaching Assistants for a course with 160 students. Each of us, along with the main instructor, individually graded and provided feedback for the final written assignment using a Dropbox feature in D2L. While completing the assessments, we were “Saving Draft” instead of immediately…
I cannot upload a video in an assignment as a student
Gradebook & Groups
Hello, I have two professors co-teaching a course. They would like to be able to set the gradebook in a way that allows them to grade only the students within their assigned groups. I have created two Group Categories (one for each professor) and have added their assigned students to their groups. Is there a way to link…
Insufficient scope to call API.Required: ltiv1p3:ags:readlineitem
Hello, I'm trying to manage grades in BrightSpace using a LTI Advantage 1.3 tool connecting to our in house software. I had success registering the app, deploying it, login, accessing course and user info using this as a base : Now I want to access AGS (Assignment and Grade Services). I used this resource to do build my…
Is there a way to save my work on a discussion forum in my classroom?
Group-based due dates not visible to all students
Hello, Having experienced a recent issue in my Brightspace classroom, I figured I should mention it here to see if there is a solution somewhere in the platform. When an instructor in Brightspace creates an assignment for a group, there is no way for a student who is not registered in a group to see if that assignment…
Best practice for signing policies
We have a onboarding course where people need to sign off on certain policies. Right now, we have them download a PDF, sign it using Adobe or other software, and upload it to the Assignments tool. Has anyone done this a better way? Must be a solution that has Canadian data hosting.
Arithmetic Question with multiple formulas
I know I have seen posts since 2023 asking for arithmetic questions with multiple formulas so we can ask multiple part questions that generate new values for each student. Is this anywhere close to becoming a reality? If so, can you tell me when we might see this feature? I have been teaching with D2L Brightspace for…
feedback
What could be the reason that feedback that a teacher has given to a student at a submission point, differs in text and letters from what it should actually be? Normally, that should be the same. The only thing I can think of is that it is due to the student's laptop, but then the student should encounter it more often. I…
Is there a way to sort assignments by Student?
I found some websites from other Brightspace user institutions that suggest such sorting for both grades and assignments is feasible, but their screenshots do not match our navigation options (screenshot attached) . Thanks for any guidance.
Using TurnitIn
I have been using Turnitin for a few weeks, but suddenly, my assignments all get 0% for plagiarism. Now, this is great, but I am finding it slightly suspicious. Usually, I have to fix some things. Could there be a bug, or am I not having plagiarism detected?
Link to the assignment tool evaluate screen
It used to be possible to create a link to an assignment submission's Evaluate screen using the OrgUnitId, dropbox ID and Submitter Id, which can all be obtained from the API. It seems that the URL format has changed and has a long random looking string as part of it. I have a use case where a course has multiple…
Grading option
Hi I know how to grade assignment using numerical value. But how can we grade assignment using distinction, merit, pass, etc. Re: Many thanks Ome Academic Officer Society of Apothcaries.
font format issue in doc viewer vs download original
Good Day, does anyone have any info/experience with a docx file showing in the Document Viewer in the Dropbox when grading in one font but when we 'download original' the font is now appearing in Times New Roman as per instructions thanks!
Assessment and Rubrics API
Is there an API that allows you to UPDATE an end users Assessment and Rubrics with what the grading/points the assessor marked them with ? I've found the end point that allows you to pull out the Rubric Assesment: https://docs.valence.desire2learn.com/res/assessment.html#Rubric.RubricAssessment But can't see how you could…
How are you applying late penalties for late assignment submission?
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…
