New Content Experience

Hello, I am exploring the new Content Experience. How does the student navigate easily? I am interested in how this works for the student n the below aspects. Is there a breadcrumb trail similar to the classic experience? Can the whole LH menu be expanded or collapsed in one click? Is there a student navigation video?…

I've added content for Welcome windows to a couple of courses. I followed the instructions, adding a module called "Welcome" to the Content (hidden from students), then added a new page to that with the info to be shown in the window. Then when I try it as an Admin, it looks correct. But when I either impersonate a Learner…

Does anyone use Media library to store images that can be used across courses? We have just been having a play with this. But when we go to "Insert Stuff" "Media Library" then insert the image into our content. The content editor isn't recognising as an image so we can't then add alt text or mark as decorative. Is there a…

Hi All, Here to learn! I've used other LMS (Canvas, and all the many version of Blackboard, in addition to other platforms like articulate/Rise360). Excited to jump into something new. What's everyone's favorite first training/resource to guide course development? Anna

We currently do not use the Activity Feed widget for our course homepages. For our courses that use the New Content Experience, is there a way to hide the "Post to Course Homepage" option as an administrator? Without the Activity Feed widget, this option is not needed and we would like to make it unavailable to instructors.

For those of you who moved from Classic Content to New Content, what was the change like? How great are the changes between environments? What was the most difficult part of the change?

Hello, I have a word document that contains some links and when I upload it to Brightspace, it gets converted into a PDF file. When looking at the document as a PDF, some of the links the document contains work and some don't… I looked at how the links are setup in Word and can't find any differences or reason why one work…

Hello, I work with multiple LTI 1.3 tools in my courses in the New Content Experience-style. For students this is looking good, but for teachers (all staff) there is a toolbar, header, at the top taking too much space of the users display. Here is a picture of what I mean: The only function this header delivers is the…

My institution is working to create a consistent Brightspace experience for learners. The current reality for my institution is that course set-up is based on each instructor's preferences, effort, and knowledge of best practice in e-learning. To try and get all Brightspace courses on the same page, faculty were given a…

The above message appears every time my students or I go to course CONTENT; Any idea of what has happened or what can be done? My IT is working on it but never saw this before… thanks

I have a faculty member who is creating content in Word, then copying and pasting that content into a D2L "Page." When he copies in hyperlinks, the default setting is to open within the window (which is the opposite of the default settings for how links are added anywhere else in D2L). Is anyone aware of a way to edit the…

Hello team, My designer found that the button of "Preview content as Student" is missing if I click the "gear" icon on the left menu after turning on the NLE (screens attached). NLE is ON: NLE is OFF:The permission remain the same and I'm wondering is this button hidden or move to another place now in NLE? Thanks

Hello, In the New Content Experience, I would like to embed the an online Word doc or PowerPoint (not just providing a link that takes the student outside of Brightspace). There used to be an embed code for PP or Word, but it seems that no longer exists. Also, when I upload static Word docs and PowerPoints, they get…

Hi All, I am happily teaching some new asynch classes this semester which means im using Brightspace in a completely new way. I have my modules set up, and now im starting to record lecture content to put on there.. Im recording these and uploading to youtube.. Now here comes the problem, whenever I try to embed/share the…

I've noticed that when I get a 404 in Brightspace, it seems impossible to work out what the 404 is for. For example, if you include a mistyped URL for something like an image in a page, the console errors only show the referrer URL and the 404 URL, but not the request URL. Additionally, if you go to a non-existent URL, it…

It would be nice if there were an option on content to "Make Public". This could apply to everything in Content, but mostly I would use it for Web Page models. Classes could be designated as containing Public Items and when clicking on a class with Public Items, only those items designated as public would be available.

I am getting a space above an Mp4 clip I added within an HTML page (after saving the page) - please advise on how I can remove the white area.

Minor rant. Does anyone understand why the EDIT button - arguably a button/menu item that is in extremely common use - is not visible on each content page? Why for the love of my sanity is it HIDDEN IN A DROP DOWN MENU? Please resume your normal, professional day.

In the NCE, when I add a description for an activity that is brought in using the Add Existing Activity tool, the description shows up on the instructor side, but not on the student side. Why?
