Wish grade items could be separated into formative and summative.
I wish there was a way to indicate if grade items were formative or summative. Since formative do not factor into grade calculation, it would be great to have a toggle button to look at only one type of evaluation at a time.

Question pool set-up
I need to create a 10-item quiz from a pool of 100 questions in the library. These 100 questions are organized into 5 sub-pools of 20 questions each. Is it possible to for the quiz to call only one of these sub-pools at a time, meaning all 10 questions should be from the same and only pool.

But I find that Brightspace will not allow me to make the questions in a pool for Bonus. Does anyone have a solution for that ? That is, is…

Automating milestone emails when learners complete any N module quizzes+surveys (Intelligent Agents)
Hi all! I’m hoping to get suggestions for a D2L automation problem. Context: Single D2L course contains 11 units. Each unit is “complete” when the learner finishes the unit’s survey AND the unit quiz(s) with a passing score (>=70%). We want automated emails sent to instructors when a learner has completed ANY 5, 10, 15…

Specifying Category during grade import
When I export grades from Brightspace, the column headers include metadata in angle brackets. For example: My Item Points Grade <Numeric MaxPoints:1 Weight:10 Category:My Category CategoryWeight:5> Is there a way to use this same format during import? If I am creating a new item, can I specify which category it belongs in…
