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…
Setting Due Dates on Assignment using API?
I'm trying to use API to programmatically set the due date fields on an assignment from an external application. I've searched the API reference and haven't been able to find anything related to assignments or due dates. Has anyone had this issue and been able to find API to solve this? Thanks!
Grades displaying "days late" messages for items from Assignments
When we have an "open date" and a "due date" set in Assignments, Grades is displaying a "days late" message for learners who have not submitted the assignment. This appears to be new this semester. When I contacted support I was told the only way to remove it was to turn off the due date, which we don't want to do. Has…
Roles & Permissions Issues
I've been troubleshooting an issue for the past week regarding facilitators' roles and permissions settings. I've enrolled several facilitators into a course and none of them are able to view any assignments. The instructor and I have double checked assignment settings (hidden vs. visible) and found no issues on that…
Deleting a Student's Submission
How can I delete a student's assignment submission ie: if they handed something into the wrong box? I get these options only: Thanks :)
Can I view inline feedback for a student who has been withdrawn?
Sometimes I need to find the feedback left on an assignment for a student who has been withdrawn from a course. So what I usually do is go into Classlist --> Enrollment Statistics to find the student who was withdrawn, select the option to view their grades, then I can click on the link to their assignment folder…

Hi guys! I have a question regarding the video assignments. I noticed that as a student I can set virtual classroom meetings, record them, then submit them for grading. As a teacher I want to share it via my class content, is this possible? When I download a student's virtual meeting, I download a zip file which contains…
How do I restrict an Insert Stuff option to certain roles?
When students have a text submission for their assessment, they have access to the Insert Stuff tool. I'd like to know how I can restrict certain integrations/plugins available via Insert Stuff. Specifically, I'd like to ensure that they can only access Panopto Student Submission via Insert Stuff.
Student Feedback on Instructor Suggestions/Feedback
I am looking for a way for a student to be able to respond to inline comments and suggestions on writing assignments within D2L. We do have Turnitin, and the Feedback Studio integrated for assignments, but students would like to respond inline to comments made on assignments. Any suggestions?
weighted grade item not working as expected
We have a faculty member that set up a weighted gradebook. She has a category called assignments and it has a weight of 20% of the total grade. in this category she has an assignment that has 4 points and is weighted to be 2.339181287% of the assignment category. Everything appears to be correct from both the gradebook and…
API calls to Dropbox - file naming
We're working with the API calls to gather student submissions. The goal is to automate the collection of signature assignments for over 220 courses. Using GET /d2l/api/le/(version)/(orgUnitId)/dropbox/folders/(folderId)/submissions/(userId)/download we noticed that the zip file doesn't follow the naming convention set in…
Assignment tool moves page numbers in heading to left
Viewing a students submission on Brightspace shows the page number on the left and when you download the same submission and open it in MS Word the page number is on the right. APA formatting states the page numbers should be on the right, so points would be deducted if only viewing the submission on Brightspace. I would…
New submissions icon is on, but can't find the new submissions
Hello, I have a professor who has the new submissions icon popping up saying there's 2 new ones for her to check. On her dropbox page, there are no tallies in the New Submissions column and there aren't any indicators in Grades either. She has opened all her dropboxes to see if there's anything listed in there and she says…
Connecting an assignment with no value to the gradebook
I'm trying to figure out a way to have an assignment appear in the gradebook so that I can mark it "done", but there are no points associated with it. Is that possible?
Adding an Assignment to Portfolio
Is it possible to add a Brightspace assignment to the portfolio? One of our instructors has an assignment where students have added text and attached a number of photos. She would like to push the entire assignment to the portfolio however we can not see a way to do this. Thanks!
Grade Item Associated to Deleted Dropbox Cannot Be Deleted
We're troubleshooting a course in which grades and feedback will not publish in the gradebook for a dropbox assignment. One quirk in this course is that a grade item is still associated with a deleted dropbox folder. We can't delete that grade item. In fact, it won't let us delete any grade items, perhaps because they are…

With the new assignment editor tool now being forced to users (no more opt in/opt out), where is the option within the assignment editor to associate to an assignment category (or to create a new category). This used to be an option in the old editor. Now you have to go to the assignment main page, click the "select…
Is there a report to show assignments submitted by section?
We have an assignment where I just realized some evaluators aren't logging in weekly to evaluate the assignment submitted in their section. Is there an easy (or even not so easy) report I can generate to list the sections and how many unevaluated assignments are in each section? For context: * This is a course with no…
Is there a way to restore rubric feedback on an assignment?
I have an instructor that needed to change the rubric they used in an assignment and when they changed the rubric utilized for the grade, it properly transferred the total grade for the assignment but the in-line feedback and criteria scores were lost (and as this is a public speaking class the feedback is very important).…
Can Turnitin be enabled on Assignments by default?
I'm referring to at least the first highlighted checkbox in this screenshot, and ideally, the second as well.
