Gradebook

I’m migrating courses from Blackboard to D2L Brightspace. The courses include quizzes, assignments, and historical student records. What is the best way to transfer and preserve historical quiz attempts and answers, assignment submissions, grades, and instructor feedback when migrating from Blackboard to D2L Brightspace?…

I have a particular student who has one item flagged as Overdue under "Work to Do". This is a discussion with an end date which lapsed a month ago. The discussion was completed and the teacher provided feedback. As the LMS Admin, I impersonated the student, the teacher and had a look at the discussion and widget settings…

I use specifications grading, which is always hard to express using an LMS because it operates like a checklist. There are no points or percentages. It was suggested to me that perhaps the "formula grading system" would be a good option for specs grading in Brightspace. However, I am having trouble finding any training…

I want to share individualized feedback with students on an exam they wrote in class. Each AI-generated feedback file includes the student's scanned exam. How can I mass-upload these student-specific feedback files? It is easy for me to include an org identifier in the file name of these PDF files.

My university recently switched to Brightspace, and one feature I really miss is being able to view all of my course grades in one place. Currently, I have to navigate into each course and open the Grades section just to see how I am doing. This becomes frustrating and time-consuming when managing multiple courses. I would…

Because one of the courses I teach is highly participatory, the course policy is that a student's final grade is deducted by 6.667% for each unexecused absence beyond 3. For example, if a student has earned a 95% in the class, but has 4 unexcused abscences, their final grade would be a 88.333%. I cannot figure out a way to…

He everyone, we have the following situation in our school: via an LTI with an external application a grade from that appliction is sent to the grade book of Brightspace. Our colleagues want to connect this grade to a learning outcome. Is this possible? Regards Roel van Doorn

Hi, In D2L we are given an option of setting the code to display zero grades as zeros, or as not displaying them at all. Unfortunately, this appears to be an all-or-nothing option for a class. I have a situation where I want some assignments set to a "no grade is a zero" option, but other assignments as a "do not display a…

Is there a way to review all the student grades for an assignment BEFORE publishing? It is important to review all grades in one place before students have access, and I can't find a way to do that. If not, I will need to start grading in another program and then import into Brightspace, which I would prefer not to do. 

One of the most frequently criticized aspects of Brightspace is the number of clicks and keystrokes required to accomplish simple tasks. With that in mind, here are two seemingly minor interface changes that would eliminate unnecessary user actions. 1. Make “Untitled” placeholder text when creating a quiz. When creating a…

Hi Brightspace Community, I am looking for a way to generate a single, cumulative Academic Transcript (or consolidated grade report) for a learner across all of their enrolled courses. Currently, I have to go into each course individually to pull grades manually. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Brightspace Community: Does anybody have a document or a link to how their faculty sync grades from ATI Nursing exams back to Brightspace? Thanks! Chris

I requested WBC course via Brightspace. I got them as MASTER Shells. How do I convert this as Learn Shell for the course assigned to where I could register students complete with grade book and everything else just like what I have from Red River College.

Hi! I am looking to find the criteria for the different colors that appear in the gradebook when using the default "Percentage" grading scheme. Where can I find that information? Thanks!

Hello, I have published the xAPI-compliant e-learning modules in Rise 360. When learners score 0, this mark does not appear in the grade book. However, the score is clearly shown in the SCORM report. Why does Brightspace not recognise the score of 0 (fail) in the grade book? Many thanks for your help.

Hello. I use weighted grading in all my courses, and I want to continue doing so, but it appears that there is no way to set a minimum threshold for an assessment category as a condition for other grade items to be counted. We would like to make a passing exam average a requirement for other items to count, but when I…
