Hello! The Product Idea Exchange link seems to not working as well as when I tired to make an account/login to d2l BrightIdea is does not work. Thank you, Reef
I just read a query from about a year ago (2024) titled “Due date for graded Discussion topic?” and I’m experiencing the same issue. In my courses, I have multiple discussion topics. In the older content experience, I could go to the Restrictions tab and check a box to have the end date display on the D2L Calendar.…
Hi, When a new idea is logged on the new implementation of PIE, it is hidden to start off with. How long can we expect it to take to moderate an idea and make it visible? If an idea is not accepted and won't ever be made visible, how would we know? Best wishes, Hermien
I’d like to raise a few UX concerns regarding the current UX of Brightspace LMS 1. Attendance Tracking While Brightspace offers an attendance feature with symbols or letters like P (Present), A (Absent), L (Late), and E (Excused), it lacks the option to annotate these records with custom notes. Personally, I use Google…
Hi! I know you can use HTML to "mark" text and have it be highlighted in a pale yellow, but can we get an option to use text highlighting? It would be great to be able to choose colors and have the contrast checker like there is when you change text color. Thanks!
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…
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?…
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…
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”. •…
