D2L Brightspace and Excel and grades
In Blackboard, you had to first set up the columns for grades and then export this gradeless grade center to Excel in order to get the format that Blackboard would accept grades from Excel in. Same for D2L?

How can I set up a grade item that calculates all grades earned in 1 week, but has a maximum value?
Some background: My class is based on a 1000 pt scale. I've made it so they can come to class OR do work at home (if they're sick/need a day off, etc., without emailing me and asking what to do). The way I have set it up, each week I offer students up to (for example) 75 points, but the week has a MAXIMUM number of points…

Hi there, Is there a way to disable the "Treat ungraded item as 0" option in Gradebook settings? We don't want instructors to use this as it results in inaccurate reflection of students' current grades. Thank you, Amy Johnson

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…

Is it possible for Instructors to import feedback comments to the Grades Tool
Hi There, I'm wondering if there is any way for instructors to import feedback comments via the Import function within the Grades Tool? Currently the csv file only contains columns for whatever Grade items have been selected for export. Is it possible to add a feedback column for import when populated? A similar query was…

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?

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…
