How do you restore accidentally retracted comments?
I was editing a student essay in a Dropbox folder using the editing window with the add comments tool. When I switched away from the full screen view and wanted to update or save my comments, I accidentally hit retract instead. Is there a way to restore my comments from system logs, or do I have to manually insert all my…
How do you remove a rubric from an assignment/association?

How can we have bonus items replace a student's lowest grade?
We have bonus quizzes and assignments. We want these quizzes and assignments to replace a student's lowest grade IF they complete the extra credit. Additionally, we want an extra credit evaluation to add one point to the student's final exam if they complete it, how can we do this?
Graded assignments won't show proficiency scale unless you put in a point
Hello. I'm an online teacher in British Columbia. Our school recently switched to D2L. I spent my entire weekend marking (using the proficiency scale/learning standards). Since the province is moving away from grades and points, it seemed superfluous to use the old rubrics with points embedded into the assignments from…

Why can't i upload bulk feedback if the student has not submitted anything?
We have exams that are written outside of D2L. Until now they have been uploaded as feedback to to an assignment dropbox one by one. It is very time-consuming. I have a process to remain the file correctly so they can be bulkuploaded but unless there is an actual submission by the student it does not work. I there any way…
Create Assignment with multiple evaluators
Hi D2L our school is now using Brightspace and I am wondering how to set up a graduation project assignment which is reviewed blind by three examiners. I see that I can add evaluators to the assignment - would that solve the problem? In the past we expanded the rubric to include more examiners, but that also means the…
How can you scale an assignment - eg worth 10 & marked /20 plus changing grades to numbers from %
I've been exploring video tutorials on the grade centre but cannot find the answer to one question: If an assignment is worth 10, but graded out of 20, how can this be entered into grade centre with correct weightings. Also, for what it is worth, I set up grade centre as % but would prefer marks. Is it possible to change…
How do you link a subject outline (specifically learning outcomes) to a subject site?
We are in the process of transitioning to Brightspace and I am one of the lucky ones involved in building (as opposed to migrating) content into subject sites. I note that Brightspace permits a linking of content and assessments to learning outcomes or standards. Our page says 'outcomes' btw. How do you enter learning…
Submitting an assignment with no content
For some assessments in my class, the students must record themselves performing musical exercises. In order to save the system from hundreds of gigabyes of video uploads into "Assignments", I ask the students to upload their videos to YouTube (set them to unpublished), and simply provide me with the link to the video on…
Unmarked assignments all say "emerging"
Just as the title says — all my students' future/yet to be submitted assignments in gradebook say "emerging". I haven't marked them or received submissions yet. What setting do I have wrong here? I have six courses and it's only happening in one.

Adding Categories to Assignments
Hi everyone! I'm wondering what's involved with adding an 'Assignment' to a category. Since the introduction of the New Assignment Creation Experience, I haven't been able to add an Assignment to a category. I'm following the steps in the 'Create an assignment' documentation, but I can't see the category dropdown button as…

Scrolling through an Assignment while giving Video/Audio Feedback
Hello all, Is there a way to scroll through a PDF, Doc, etc. while recording video or audio feedback for students? The pop up disables scrolling on the larger screen. I don't know if this is an individual admin decision or a larger issue. It is very cumbersome. Thank you, Christian
