I am using D2L at a University that uses templated provisioning so I have little control over what I can do on the platform. The templating is what our administrators do so that course-wide over our University all students and faculty see the same thing, thus minimizing multiple learning curves between courses and zero…

Hey everyone, I’m trying to figure out how to use WooCommerce for selling online courses through an LMS like Brightspace. I want to manage enrollments and payments more smoothly, but I’m not sure how to connect everything properly. I was searching for solutions online and came across a few recommendations in Miami…

I know I have seen posts since 2023 asking for arithmetic questions with multiple formulas so we can ask multiple part questions that generate new values for each student. Is this anywhere close to becoming a reality? If so, can you tell me when we might see this feature? I have been teaching with D2L Brightspace for…

HI, how do those get calculated please? for example, if a group restricted thread had 4 group members in it, and the Views on the post were at 15 , thanks!

Hey everyone, I’m working on a custom widget in Brightspace and ran into something odd. When I update the HTML content inside the widget and save it, sometimes the changes don’t show up right away on the homepage. I’ve tried refreshing and even clearing the browser cache, but it still loads the older version for a while.…

In my classes, I have multiple forums; - Graded discussion questions - Questions about class or assignments - Group discussions (student groups) Each forum should have the options (forum level) - Notify me when students post - useful for Questions - Use in count on home page - good to exclude student group discussions,…

I would like to have a discussion embedded right in a web page so students can read a text blurb, answer a question, see other students comments and then go right to the next text blurb. Right now I can only link away from the text to a separate page for the discussion. Anyone know if this is possible? thanks!

Hello, I’m looking for a way to schedule a thread (post) within a discussion forum in D2L Brightspace so that it automatically becomes visible at a future date and time—similar to how we can schedule announcements or set availability dates for discussion topics. Is there currently a built-in feature that allows instructors…

Hello. We are using the Classic Content experience. Does anyone know if it is possible to copy "starter" threads that the instructor creates from semester to semester? Here's the use case: Instructor has created a Discussion forum. Within it, she has 5 different "starter" threads that she would like students to reply to.…

Hi everyone, I’m currently working on a custom integration within D2L Brightspace, and I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to trigger a JavaScript function or API call immediately after a quiz is submitted by a student. We’re trying to push quiz completion data into an external system in real time not just rely on…

In either classic or new content experience, if we create our syllabi using the Brightspace HTML tools - can we then export the syllabi in a format that could be uploaded to a database?

My college has made the decision to lock down discussion forums with an end date. We are leaving visibility, but withholding the opportunity to post once the deadline passes. This solves a few problems for us. However, sometimes we have students with disability accommodations who are allowed extra days on their discussion…

I would like to have the ability to highlight text in students' discussions when I am assessing them, so they know, readily, what was useful about their discussion post. Is there presently a way to do this? If not, it would be great to add this (it would make my grading process much easier for online courses).

We need to integrate Brightspace with Salesforce using an LTI tool to display a Salesforce page within Brightspace. We have configured LTI in Brightspace for integration with Salesforce.However, we don’t see a connector available to establish the LTI connection with Salesforce. Any guidance on this would be helpful.

Hi everyone, While copying content from a previous semester, our gradebook links did not transfer correctly, causing hundreds of grade items to get mixed up. We now have a newly designed course structure that we’d like to copy over. Our plan is to deactivate the current course (so we can still reference previous students'…

Hello! What is the maximum space allowed for discussions? Some of our discussions require students to attach videos and powerpoint presentations. Thank you!

Is anyone use A.I. in their online discussions (e.g., rewriting/improving discussion prompts and replies to student posts) or in other ways in their courses?

I am using D2L bright space at Conestoga college for my courses. One of my courses has many discussion posts and part of the grading metrics is checking minimum number of words. I am wondering if there can be word count provision on the grading page instead of copying to MS word all the time to check number of words. This…
