Recent Update Caused Issue
I've had my courses set to "File Submission" because students were able to use the "Comment" field to submit share links (as from Google Docs), or they can use the "Add a File" button if they prefer uploading a file. This is preferable because when the assignment parameters are set to "File and Text Submission" students…

Exceeding Points on an Assignment

We have an assignment that is graded with a rubric where students can get up to 5.5 points (there are 0.5 points built in as extra credit). The assignment itself is set up as 5 points total. In the grade…

Please change the default deadline time from midnight to 5 pm
Dear D2L, My institution uses your product for content delivery. I would like to re-think your default deadline time of midnight for assignments and quizzes. As you're likely aware users typically adopt default parameters in programs. There is ample evidence that midnight deadlines do not promote healthy work life balance…

Assignment Annotations "Note" Issues
Good day, I received the following campus query a few days ago: "When editing the Note annotation, the edits do not always reflect.

Web cam and window sharing submission to assignment
Hello, I have a use case where students need to 1) record with their webcam and 2) share a desktop recording as part of a single assignment submission. I see that the text editor supports video recording, but it doesn’t allow desktop sharing like the Media Library does. Is there a straightforward way to enable this…

Editing the title of an Assignment isn't reflected in Grade Book
In Classic Experience— I have some assignments that are already linked to the Grade Book. I've noticed that if I edit the title of the Assignment, the title isn't automatically updated in the Grade Book. I have to edit the title in the Grade Book as an additional step. Is this correct?

When I add and save a new assignment in a course, is there a way for students enrolled in that course to automatically receive a notification—either through email, or in-platform alerts—without me having to create a separate announcement? I want to…

Allow a Student an Additional Assignment Submission
I'd like to give one of my students an additional chance to submit an assignment. I know I can delete their submission, but I'd like them to see my feedback on their first attempt. I know I can globally allow multiple submissions, but I don't want to extend this to all other students. Is there a way to allow just one…

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?

Right now, this process is unnecessarily burdensome. - Filter the…

I am asking this so students can use the Portfolio app to create and upload think aloud videos and then these can be (quick) linked to an assignment? I do not see an option within the assignment quick links to add evidence from a portfolio. I'd rather not have to search through their portfolios for a particular video. TIA
