Using the "Learning Activity Library" in "Site Resources" under "Course Administration."
Numerous "learning activities" are listed in this "library," and I made one using the prompts. But I can't figure out how to make the activity visible to my students? Also, none of the the "all tags" suggestions seem to be related to this.

Auditor Tool and standards - so that our mentors can view progress of their Programme Members
We have Facilitators on our courses that track progress at section level. But each of our Programme Members also have a mentor, sometimes that mentor is a mentor to 3/4 people on the same course. We have about 30 sections on a course (so 30 faciliatators), with a total of around 5000 Learners (programme Members) and 4000…

Why must all courses remain on the learners view even after the course duration is up?
This platform has been just swell for learning so far. However, there is one significant pain point for me and many friends alike. The old courses are no longer relevant and never go away! I have done enough research on the internet to find that I must contact my instructors to "close" or deactivate the courses. We have…

Can an instructor add a menu in the student answer box for a math final exam?
An instructor has uploaded her final in Brightspace, but instead of students having to write out 'pi' or 'square root' can she enable a menu to allow students to write those characters? If this is possible, could you provide the steps?

Please hire neurodivergent user experience designers, D2L needs help
Currently, D2L is an accessibility quagmire and is currently so difficult to use that the process of elucidating all the things wrong with it would completely overwhelm me. If I feel like this, I'm certain other neurodivergent students are also experiencing difficulty. It is good that Brightspace is aware of web…

Text box lines not appearing when pasted into Brightspace

However, I have learned that the lines in the textbox, when shortcutted in, appear invisible to students. For example, I have a…

What would cause a course topic's contents to suddenly stop displaying?
I have a content developer whose content in their course topics no longer display as expected. The attached image is what we're seeing. This was not an issue when the content was being developed. There are at least 9 topics that are suddenly not opening. Is this something I can fix as an admin?

I do not see a menu bar at the top of for instance pdf or office files when added as content pages
Hi, I noticed that recently (I can't quite remember when) I don't see a menu bar anymore when vieuwing pdf or Office files in Brightspace. There used to be a menu bar at the top, as shown in the following image. But now I don't see it anymore. Is this feature or a bug? Perhaps a Brightspace update removed that menu bar.…

Projecting/ Presenting Information via Brightspace...
I use Brightspace exclusively in my classroom. One thing I wish for is some type of "presentation mode" when I project my lessons. When I make the screen larger by zooming in (while using Chrome), I find that it makes the top banner and side menus larger as well -decreasing my overall real estate space. (I'm not sure if…

Restrictions - Sections - Display configurations
Hello D2L community, We created a course but now we want to know how to more effectively restrict our audience to access certain content. We need to grade each user individually, but we have different modules inside the course (3) with scorm objects from which we take grades for quizzes. However, we also have a guide…

Virtual Classroom Attendance
Hello, I had previously sent a ticket inquiring if we could add the student ID# numbers with the student names in the virtual classroom attendance tracker. The response was no. We have classes with mandatory attendance requirements and multiple students with the same name, so we cannot differentiate who attended. I had…

Is there a way to schedule the exact date and time when Modules appear to students?
Hi, Is there a way to get around the need to manually switch Modules (e.g. Weekly Content) from Hidden to Visible? In other words, is there a setting allowing instructors to schedule the exact date and time when a Module becomes Visible to students? Thanks for your help! Ron

Is it possible to add a tour to our Brightspace environment for certain roles?
Hi, In our old LMS (Moodle) it was possible to make a user tour, depending on their role they would see either one thing or another. Is something like that also possible in Brightspace? If so: where can I find that option? Thanks! Marleen

How to force learners to retake a course if they fail the final assessment
We have several courses where learners are given 3 opportunities to retake a summative assessment. We'd like to make it possible for learners to retake the course if they fail the 3 assessment attempts, without having to manually reset progress. Is it possible to do this automatically?

"assignment" tool pop-up after student submission = Misleading to students
Hello! When students submit an assignment, the "assignment" tool pops up for them and provides an overview of the assignments completed and which ones are next to complete. That said, this tool is misleading because it gives the students the impression that this is the course outline. Students click and attempt the next…

New learner/content experience: Start w/menu in viewer window?
In new learner experience, after you click on a module to view the content, it opens in a full viewer window. Along the left upper corner, you can select the 3 lines to open a table of contents. I'm wondering if there's potentially a config variable or another way to start with the left table of contents open on the…
