Section titles/text in Question Library do not update in Quizzes (and vice versa)
I recently discovered that when the Section Title or Section Text is changed in the Question Library, the updates do not carry over to any Quizzes where that section is used. Similarly, if the text is edited directly within a Quiz, the changes do not sync back to the Question Library. This behaviour is different from how…
Request for API Access to Start and Submit Quiz Attempts via REST API

Specifically, we are looking for REST API endpoints that allow us to: Start a quiz attempt for a user Submit answers to quiz questions programmatically…
Grading quizzes
I am manually grading written answers for final exams for four classes. I classified the exams as Quizzes. When I was grading the exams for one class, Brightspace entered every grade as a 100 even though I deducted points from many students' answers. The other three classes are working properly. Please advise how I should…
Analyzing Grades - Pivot Table Templates
Hello Brightspace Community, We are currently analyzing the Grades Report, and we are trying to break down the unique number of grades received overall by Majors, Years of Study etc. Wondering if there are any tips or templates for pivot tables in Excel. Thanks in advance!!
Attempt 1 grade re-sent to gradebook when attempt 2 is submitted but NOT published
TL;DR Why does attempt 1 grade get re-sent to gradebook when student submits attempt 2 (overwriting manually entered grade in gradebook) even though the attempt 2 grade is not published? The quiz is all Written Response questions and auto-publish attempt results is not checked. Synchronize to grade book on publish is…
Quiz Re-entry
Hi, I have noticed a cheating method student's use when the quizzes are ran under Lockdown browser. Let's say a student starts to write the quiz under lockdown browser. It's funny it also possible to do a quiz-re-entry to the same quiz, using the same login when the student is writing the exam. The student doesn't have to…
Instructor is listed as a user when grading quizzes
New to me this semester, my name is now listed as a user when grading quizzes. Furthermore, when I advance throughout the quiz attempts and reach my name, I can no longer advance to the next student. Does anyone know what setting changed for me and how I can take my name off the list of users when grading quizzes and…
Exclude as Final Grade Option
Hello, Our syllabus acknowledgement quiz will be pass/fail and should not be calculated into the final grade. I do not have the "Exclude for Final Grade Calculation" option that is on the right side of the screen. Is there a way to enable this?
Student viewing feedback on quizzes
Is there a way to tell if a student has read feedback on a quiz? In assignments, I see that feedback has been published, and when a student has read the feedback but in quizzes there is no way to see if they have viewed the feedback unless I am missing something. Thank you,
Grading the Graders across multiple sections
When offering several sections of a course with TAs and common assessments with a short answer/essay question, is there an easy way to produce a report that shows: the grader, the assigned grade on that item (not the average as is show in the statistics under Manage Quizzes) across all the sections? If not, is there an…
When exporting a quiz with images, do I need to select ALL COURSE FILES in the export settings?
I'm looking to export a quiz into a Brightspace package (not copy, but export). If I have images in the quiz, do I need to select ALL COURSE FILES in the export setting?
Can Brightspace let learners retake a quiz with new questions instead of the ones they got wrong?
I'm setting up a quiz where a learner has to get 100% score in a single attempt in order to pass. If the learner fails at the attempt, the learner can re-attempt the quiz but the incorrect question has to be different. Is this currently available with Brightspace? To my understanding, reattempt only incorrect questions…
Has anyone experienced inconsistent “overdue” notices for assignments/quizzes completed on time?
Details: In one of our courses, we’re seeing a strange issue where a single assignment appears as “overdue” for all students in the Content area, even though every student submitted it before the due date. I impersonated eight different students, and the behavior is identical—only this one assignment shows the overdue…
Quiz Question - Max Points
Hello everyone, The quiz section for this gradebook should be weighted at 3 with a max points of 30. The syllabus quiz is pass/fail and should not be 100 points. I am able to changes the syllabus to pass/fail but the system will not allow me to put the max points to 0. How can I make the Quizzes section worth only 30…
API Quiz Creation Issue - "Provided JSON is invalid or does not match the expected format."
I am using PHP with Guzzle, and I can't seem to crack through this problem. I have tried a number of config options and how the data is formatted with zero luck. Does anyone have a PHP/Guzzle example when posting data to the Brightspace API? Does anyone know why I am not getting more description error messages back? Any…
Please change the default deadline time from midnight to 5 pm
Dear D2L, My institution uses your product for content delivery. I would like to re-think your default deadline time of midnight for assignments and quizzes. As you're likely aware users typically adopt default parameters in programs. There is ample evidence that midnight deadlines do not promote healthy work life balance…
