How to create an "anchor links" to a different webpage within the same course shell?
Hello — I'm familiar with how to create anchor links using <id> tags within a single webpage (I do this to produce a table of contents for long webpages), but I'm having trouble figuring out how to modify the type of link that "Insert Quicklink" yields to help students reach a specific section of a different webpage…
Page elements
How do I copy & paste page elements (e.g., an icon callout) from the 07-elements template onto a web page I am working on that uses a different template? Do I have to create a "fake" page in the elements template that I can copy from?
Broken Image Links and Styles in Downloaded Content
In the March 2022 release notes there is mention of the Print and Download feature available in the content UI. "This release adds Print and Download options to content files and HTML content in New Learner Experience (LX), which allows learners to study their course content offline more easily. The new buttons appear at…
HMTL editing not functioning in Safari
Hello, I'm not able to edit content pages (html, using the visual editor), on Safari. The editor won't load existing content or let me enter new content. I have the most recent version of Safari so it should be "supported", so I'm not sure if there is a setting or something that might be causing this error (or is this a…
Populating courses from a course template
Hi everyat ione, We are planning on building out robust course templates for every course so that when our SIS integration is ready it will create the courses that look identical to the parent template. It seems that when I try and create a course based on a parent template it doesn't automatically build the course.…
Change the background of a D2L credential information page
Greetings, My name is Ervin Howard, Instructional Designer of the University of North Georgia (Oconee campus). I need some advice and assistance about the D2L credential information page that is generated after a recipient earns a digital badge. I attached a copy of an image of D2L information page that shows the…
Use of figcaption vs alt-text?
Which is best to use from an accessibility point of view and that works best with screen readers? I have been looking, and I need help finding consistency. Some say do not use alt="" with a figcaption, and some say it is OK. WCAG standards do not speak to this. There are times when attributions are needed for images. I…
Brightspace Pulse doesn't show HTML pages anymore since last update
Hi, Until recently I could open HTML topic pages in the Pulse app without problems. Nowadays, the pulse app opens the HTML pages, but it looks like desktop view with sidebar and options to add new content and stuff, as shown in figure 1. Figure 1. Before it showed the HTML page as a webpage with specific styles and so…
Embedded Spotify podcast blocked - how to permanently allow for all users
I'm having an issue embedding Spotify podcasts onto our lessons for users to listen to. The embedded code has been added and shows up from an administrator perspective. However when logging in as a learner, it shows that the media is from another wesbite and has been blocked, but it does not give the option to allow this…
Responsive Video Player and Video Lecture Template
I read the release notes on the changes needed to the Video Lecture document template and added the code snippet to the custom.css file. The result was not what I expected. When I deleted the YouTube video there and then added a media library video, the video overlaid the text at the top of the page and appeared very…
Is there standard HTML classes for use when wanting a custom widget to produce a dialog
We would like to utilise a popup/dialog within a custom widget and rather than importing external styles/libraries. we would like to utilise the system standard ones so our widget follows the system and future upgrades. Is there any documention on what the standard dialog HTML classes are and can they be provided?
Regarding Fix #01783077 (HTML Written response questions overwritten with undefined)
Just wondering what the behaviour was for this prior to the fix? We had an instance recently where a student's answers to a written response question were blank but in the Quiz Log we could see that they had entered text (# of characters). Wondering if this will be corrected with this fix? (BTW, this link goes to a…
Why doesn't Chrome Android display any custom styles for HTML pages?
We use the Brightspace LMS learning platform at our university. Since the last update of the Brightspace Pulse app for mobile experiences it shows web content using your default browser app (Chrome Android in my case) instead of the Pulse embedded web browser. However, the web content doesn't display any custom styles when…
Embedding MS Stream Videos: Permission Issues
We have had several faculty members try embedding MS Stream videos into their courses and run into several issues related to permissions. Basically, even if a video is set to be available to anyone to watch, they get an error in Brightspace saying "You don't have access." Has anyone else run into similar issues and/or…
Data on usage of content templates from Public Files?
Is there any way to find out how many courses are using the HTML content templates that we added to Public Files? Since selecting a template just copies the code to the HTML page, I'm assuming there won't be an easy way to get this data, but just wanted to see if any other universities were trying to figure out how many…
I can't get information to look right when published.
Content will look okay when I am working on it, but when I update there are spacing errors throughout. For ex- I have left spaces between lines of text or have aligned text with a photo, but when I click update, the spacing does not show. When I go to edit it again, it shows several spaces/lines between the text, but this…
