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?

Is there a way for students to be automatically notified if there is new assignment?
Hi, I have a quick question regarding assignment creation in Brightspace. 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…

Asset Processor and v2 Turnitin integration
The Release notes section about "LTI - Asset Processor service integration in Assignments" mentions instructors will have the option to "Add External Tool" in the "Evaluation and Feedback" panel in Assignments.

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? Mostly, our academics are calculating this manually, but this is time-consuming…

docx File Preview
I don't understand why I cannot view in Preview mode from Assignments, student work saved as a docx file. Why does Brightspace change the formatting from a submitted docx file. Things like spacing, paragraphs, pagination, etc. is ALL different most of the time. I shouldn't have to download and use my hard disk resources to…

Streamlining Feedback Entry and Gradebook View
We are using rubric-based feedback, and I am looking for ways to reduce the number of clicks. I am hoping that the following is either already available (and I just haven't found it yet), or that these might be put on the list to be added for ease of use. Right now, this process is unnecessarily burdensome. - Filter the…

How can a student link an artifact already uploaded to their portfolio to an assignment folder?
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

Set a release condition without completely hiding the assignment?
I keep having an issue where students don't realize they have an assignment to do because they haven't met the release condition and D2L has it completely hidden until the condition is met. I've tried making clear lists and calendars and sent notes that the assignments exist, but some students always miss the…

Moodle to Brightspace - Submission Instructions and Types
Moving from Moodle to Brightspace, all of my courses are by default set to only "File Submission" and I want "File or Text Submission" as the default. Other than going into every assignment manually, is there a faster way to make this change globally for this and every other course I have? On the same track, but less…

Hi everyone, I have a group assignment in Brightspace that’s assigned to multiple groups, each with different members.
