Instant Notifications - Grade Item updates when associated with assessment
In D2L I have noticed that an Updated Grade instant notification is triggered when a grade item is associated with an assignment or discussion, even if the score itself has not changed. In my test, I had a Quiz, a Discussion, and an Assignment all linked to the grade book with a test student having received a score for all…

Count only best score of 3 quizzes
I would like students to have the option to take 1, 2, or 3 different quizzes on a particular topic where only the top score is counted in the grade book. If I drop the lowest 2 in a category, that doesn't work because then they have to take all 3 to get any score at all. I'd like only the highest score of the 3 different…

What does importing a CSV file with grades into D2L look like?
We are moving to D2L from Moodle midway through our school year (we are a 12 month program). I am playing with importing a CSV of grades from the course in Moodle into the same course in D2L. I continually get the error below. I have NO idea what that error might even be. Haha. Has this type of import been done…

Link multiple grades to 1 assignment
We are developing assignments for integrated testing. This means that different educators look at the same product from different perspectives (e.g. a pedagogue and a didactician) (often at different parts of it, but the cohesion is important) and also each assess the product on the basis of their own/other criteria and…

Release conditions and formula grades
Hi everyone, wondering if you can help... I'm setting up a course which has multiple formula grades. Is it possible to use the formula grade as a release condition? I can't seem to use the condition 'Grade Value on a Grade Item' as it doesn't show me the option of the formula grade. In the past I have used a formula in…

Milestone Grade Items - Allows Learners to see Hidden Grade Items
Hi there, we have discovered that when instructors set up "milestone grade items" and include previously "hidden" grade items it actually shows the learners all the scores on the hidden items (when they click on the calculator icon). Not sure if this has been reported before as it seems to be an usability issue?

Two different class averages in quiz statistics
I have a quiz that is showing two different figures for the class average. If I am in Manage Quizzes and select the Statistics tab, a "quiz average" is displayed (in this case, 43.67%). However, when I go to the Statistics area for that same assessment, a different "class average" is shown (51.31%). What's the difference…

Does the Reset Evaluation option work?
I've been trying to use the ‘Reset Evaluation’ option on quiz attempts because I've deleted questions. I did not like the questions and a majority of students answered them incorrectly. My quiz went from 52 questions to 47, and that is being reflected in the quiz attempt. I can see that I removed the questions because of…

Assessing with Rubric not saving in Gradebook
I have a professor who has developed a rubric to assess students abilities on physical skills for their nursing program. The skills are observed in person and then documented in Brightspace to assign a grade. The items in the grade book do not actually have an assignment linked to them as they are performed in person. The…

Are there any plans to fix the grade distribution plots?
For weeks now, the plots of grade distributions on the "statistics" pages in Brightspace have been broken. Are there any plans to fix them? Here is an example: They look like this both for items in Grades and for Quizzes.

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?

I think quiz results (what the correct answers were etc) should be available through grades
Learners can view assignment results (i.e. rubric details) from either Assignments or grades. But they can ONLY view quiz results (correct answers) through Quizzes NOT grades. I think they should be able to view those results also through grades.

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…

Intelligent Agent and Final Calculated Grade
Has anyone figured out how to create an Intelligent Agent with Release Conditions to alert the instructor (or student) or someone else, when a student's final calculated grade has fallen below a certain level? This seems like a no-brainer request but it is not one of the items listed under the Grades Release Conditions.…
