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…

How to extend the deadline for a single student in a discussion
I have a student with accommodations and one of these is to have extended deadlines. This works fine for assignments and quizzes, but how do I give a single student additional time on a discussion assignment?
Assignment Type
I created an assignment with text submission type, but can't change to "submit file" without affecting students who have already submitted and been graded. This is very problematic for me in a continuous online course. I'm scared to delete the assignment, but can't change "assignment type" to what it should have been. My…
D2L Assignment Feedback Issues
Hi All, In the last several years, we have had multiple instructors connect with us about issues with Feedback, specifically on Assignments (we still call them Dropboxes at my institution). However, this could be an issue for feedback on quizzes and/or discussions. Basically, for one reason or another, feedback does not…
