Assignments

Is there a way that I can submit an assignment for a student.
My DE department just keeps telling me that I can add a file to the assignment under evaluate, but that does not SUBMIT the file so that I can then grade it. Is there a way I can actually submit it for the student?
Drawing Models?
I teach Middle School Science, and many of my standards require students to draw models. Does Brightspace have an assignment option where the students can use shapes and drawing tools to create models? I am aware of the option to download external files, but my students often struggle with that.
Is there a way to hide student's 'Assignment Submissions' from Parents & Guardians?
Hello, We would like to hide the student's submissions from the Parent & Guardian Dashboard. We would like the parent to only have access to the marked rubric, grade and teacher feedback. We do not want to give access to the submitted work. I did not find this permission under 'Roles & Permissions' under Admin Tools. Thank…
Drpobox Issue
We've had a couple of instructors notice a new issue when grading in Dropbox. Certain pdfs turned in to Dropbox behave strangely when we try to highlight a section and copy it into something else. Here's an example in a video: A live course that is having that issue is this one: Jaclyn Roberts paper for the Chapter 5…
How to hide assignments
Good morning, I am trying to mass hide assignments until a certain criteria has been met. I have hidden the units (content), but students are still able to access the assignments under the assessment tab on their nav bar. Thank you!
Student submissions to assignment folder with " " or __ in file name will not open
We had a bunch of students submit to an assignment folder and they used quotation marks in the file name. None of these files would open for the teacher so she could use the annotation tool. We ended up downloading and uploading all of the files again. We've also seen this with underscore at the start of a file name. Any…
How to Update Line Items with LTI Advantage?
I'm currently encountering an obstacle while attempting to update line items that were generated via LTI 1.3 deep linking (scoreMaximum, label, startDateTime, endDateTime). The grade item's name will undergo an update, but that encompasses the extent of the changes. The name and dates for the quick link will remain…
Change format of downloaded assignments
How do I change the way assignments are grouped when I download them? Each student gets a directory, which is great, but the name of the directory contains the student name, the date, and two numbers, one of which is the same for all students, and the other (the beginning of the directory name) is a number I don't…
Assignment and Quiz Statistics
I am reaching out with a query regarding the retrieval of statistical data within a D2L course, particularly concerning assignments and quizzes or any graded elements. Currently, I am aware of the option to download data for individual assignments and quizzes, which has proven to be a valuable resource. However, I was…

Exceeding the total points on an Assignment
Is there a way to allow bonus points on an assignment? I found where you can allow points to be exceeded on a quiz or test however, cannot find a setting like this for assignments. If I try to override the score in grades I get a warning. Thanks in advance!

PDF assignment files
Hello, We are running into an issue with some of the PDF assignment files not opening for the assessors. From what we gathered, it depends on the PDF format and the version of Adobe that the student might have (and save their assignment in). For instance, we already figured that the LiveCycle Designer PDF version gives an…
Why do URLs within assignment submission show up as sticky notes when grading
We recently noticed that when a student submits a doc/pdf to the assignment folder, any links are automatically made into sticky notes when the instructor is grading. This is strange and confusing for instructors. We've looked through recent updates to see if there is something that might have caused this new and…
Dropbox document-- issue on my end or students?
I require students to use Microsoft Word to write their papers. Everyone at my university has access to Word and hopefully requiring .docx resolves compatibility issues. This past session I had some papers that open up in the dropbox as a document of random characters. When I downloaded the document, it was the same-- all…
LOR - Unit pages, Quizzes and Assignments
Hi, Was wondering if anyone had any tips on best approach to using the LOR for entire course offerings. We want to be able to offer the same course offering to 10-20 different partners, and the plan is to put the course offering in the LOR, then using that content in the LOR make it available in each of the 10-20 seperate…
