PIE

Conversations about BrightSpace Quizzes
Hi Folks, Apparently there are big changes afoot on the BrightSpace PIE. As a result of these changes, posts marked as "Not Planned" will not be migrated to the new platform. According to D2L, these ideas will be retained on their internal system to inform future innovation, but will no longer appear on the PIE. So, in the…
D2L is Reheating PIE!
We have some exciting news to share about PIE! Get all the details on what this means for your PIE submissions and how you can voice what's top of mind at your place of Teaching and Learning from the following article describing the first key milestone on the journey.
Explanation of "Feedback Review Window" PIE Status Missing
Hello. I noticed the "D2L Product Idea Exchange Statuses" page within the Brightspace Community site (https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/1447-d2l-product-idea-exchange-statuses) doesn't include an explanation of the "Feedback Review Window" status. Would someone from D2L please revise this PIE statuses page?…
concerns re PIE migration
As I understand it, the PIE is being migrated to some new platform and we have been asked to comment on any posts marked "Feedback Review Window" to indicate that we want particular activities to be migrated. Does this mean that anything marked as "Not Planned" will not be migrated? If not, this is an issue for me. Over…
Comment re status colours on PIE
Have I just not noticed the colours on the PIE before? This is how “Status” colours are currently allocated: I would say there are some colour choice problems and suggest the following changes: • “Not Planned” should definitely not (a) be green and (b) be the same colour as “In Planning”. Make it red like “Closed”. •…
When may I access PIE?
How do I get access to the Product Idea Exchange?
Hello. Do I need a different login and password to access the Product Idea Exchange than the ones I use to access Brightspace Community? If so, how do I set those?
Group-based due dates not visible to all students
Hello, Having experienced a recent issue in my Brightspace classroom, I figured I should mention it here to see if there is a solution somewhere in the platform. When an instructor in Brightspace creates an assignment for a group, there is no way for a student who is not registered in a group to see if that assignment…
Highlight Text option when assessing Discussions
I would like to have the ability to highlight text in students' discussions when I am assessing them, so they know, readily, what was useful about their discussion post. Is there presently a way to do this? If not, it would be great to add this (it would make my grading process much easier for online courses).
I can't access PIE from Brightspace community page
When I tried to access PIE from under Resources, I was redirected to another page that says "Unavailable Quicklink". I'm already logged in and can access other links under Resources.
0-4 Grading Schemes
We have several large departments that are using and want to use a 0-4 style grading scheme (Based on the book Grading For Equity). We've found a clunky way to almost accomplish this with a custom grading scheme, but it still relies on percentages (and makes them visible), defeating the original intent. Has anyone found a…
RE: Helpful Suggestions to Include in Portfolio
Hello D2L Team, I am writing this email as a result of a teacher conference that I went to last week Thursday and Friday. One of the conferences was titled 'The Wonders of Brightspace Portfolio' and during that conference a lot of great information was shared. However, as a user of Portfolio, there were some questions and…
How do we actually get to PIE?
The link requires login, but the credentials associated with the community account do not work. There also is no registration link anywhere.. thanks! https://desire2learn.brightidea.com/ct/ct_login.php?c=18362FFA-6F33-4621-8C32-577FFD706E99

PIE Link Broken?
I'm attempting to access the PIE via the "Produce Idea Exchange" link under Resources, and I get directed to the Brightspace Learning Center instead to a page that says: Unavailable QuicklinkThe External Learning Tool is not available. Attempting to go to a previously saved link doesn't work, as the SSO sign-in has not…
Improvement of Brightspace
Good morning. I am using BS as a faculty in Higher Education for the first time. Here are my suggestions for improvement: - Students should not be allowed to edit their posts on the discussion board. This makes grading and liability of students complicated. If they need to edit their posts, they should click on reply on…
Comments function not working in PIE
Just posted a comment to the PIE. Now, suddenly I can no longer comment and no comments are visible on any posts. Tag: Bug Report
