Assignments

My assignment pdfs are forcing me to download them, not first view in browser.
My question relates to pdfs that I uploaded into the assignment section (e.g., samples). I tested this as me, going back in edit mode, and then "as learner". Both ways, it pushed me straight to finding where I wanted to save the download. It does not do this for what the students submit. It goes to view first (with a…
Display Class Average to Users & Display Grade Distribution to Users Privacy Issues
Hi. I have an instructor who is concerned about privacy in a small class if she uses the Display Class Average to Users or the Display Grade Distribution to Users options in a Grade Item. She is afraid other students may figure out student grades. Is there any setting that requires a minimum number of users in order for…
Suggestion: Add 'Only Show Users with Unpublished Submissions' Filter Option for Grading Assignments
When I grade an assignment that requires an attachment such as a Word document, I use the filter shown in Figure 1 below to find submissions I have not graded yet. After finding the new submissions, I select them all and click Download to download the attachments, as shown in Figure 2 below. The issue is when I reapply the…
Discussion forums in content and assessment section
My assignments and projects appear in both Content and Assessment sections of Brighspace. On the other hand, the discussion forums only appear in the Assessment section. Is it possible to make the discussion forums also appear in the Content section? Or is it possible for the assignments and projects only appear in the…
The Drawing tool during inline evaluations has started making rectangles and won't stop
I've already used the inline evaluation tool to mark up several of my students' assignments. But now the Drawing Tool makes vector rectangles and nothing else. When I place a point to draw, it is the origin of a rectangle. The highlighter tool still works as intended (freeform lines/drawing). Even when I go back to old…
Glitch in the comment tool?
Hi. I frequently use the comment "bubble" in D2L when providing feedback on students' papers. For the past couple of months, I've noticed that when I click on the bubble in the toolbar (see below), locate it on the document I'm evaluating, and immediately start to type, the cursor jumps back to the start position while I'm…
Issues with Cursor within D2L
This is such a weird problem, but when I insert feedback within the assignment itself by adding a comment, the cursor moves back to the beginning of the sentence. For example, if I start typing "Missing…," as soon as I type the "M," before I move on to the "i," the cursor moves back to the space before "M." I don't even…
An assignment activity was completed but not reflecting in grade?
How can teachers ensure they see student submissions immediately when they are submitted?
Hello, One of our teachers is reporting that she is not always seeing student submissions in real time when they are submitted. As a result, she has assigned students to extra blocks of catch up time, not knowing the student has already submitted their work. The students have been able to produce their confirmation emails…
Has anyone been encountering problems with Release Conditions lately?
I was wondering how to control the visibility of assignment submission folders and quizzes according to sections. I have attached released conditions to a Teacher Facilitator role so that they can only see assignment and quiz submissions specific to their section, but for some reason, they can still see all assignment…
How do you make the description of a check list visible to all users?
Hey all, I've created a check list, but every time I enter in learner view, or impersonate a learner, I can't seem to see the description I wrote for the check list, just the options. I've searched for a solution, but can't seem to see any settings option in our instance of D2L. Attached is a screen shot of what I see. The…
Can Assignment submissions be automatically uploaded to portfolio?
Is it possible to link assignment submissions to the portfolio tool where a student's assignment upload automatically gets sent to their portfolio as well? If possible, how can I set this up? If not possible, would something like an intelligent agent be of any help creating this assignment-portfolio link?
duplicate / shadow assignments appeared
I somehow have created duplicate assignments within my gradebook that are named "File"(1) or "File"(2). Some of these show up for the students with no grades, others show up with grades twice. I know I have to delete one of the assignments, but which one? I don't want to lose the student grades, or have to enter them all a…
Apple pencil won't draw lines
My apple pencil used to let me write on homework. Now it will only highlight or highlight with light gray writing. What setting changed and how do I get it back to being a writing utensil.
text submission locked
Teachers are finding that sometimes they accidently set an assignment to "text submission" vs "file submission" and once they have had a submission, they can no longer change that option. Which in my experience to change that one setting means I need to copy the assignment, delete the old one and manually update any marks…
Giving Feedback issue
An instructor tries giving a student in their course feedback, they get this message(see image). What can we do about it?
AI statement prompt
This is a shot-in-the-dark question but I think it would serve folks beyond me and my class. Here's what I would love to see and why. Over the last year, I've had a moving target policy regarding AI use in essay writing for assignments. I allow students to use AI in certain contexts (which I outline in my syllabus and in…
Is there a way to export an entire class' marks broken down by rubric criterion for an assignment?
I associated a rubric with an assignment. The gradebook shows the summation of the rubric marks, but I'd like a spreadsheet with the grades for every student and what they received for each criterion. Is this possible in D2L? I am an instructor.
How can I obtain the assignment ID when the external tool launches?
Hi, I've integrated an external tool into Brightspace using deep linking, and everything works it launches correctly. I've also sent back a deep linking response, which has been added as my external tool link to the assignment. However, after checking the payload I received from the tool launch, I noticed that there is no…
