Is there a way to have preset discussion threads in a forum? (no student created threads)
I would like to have a discussion forum with 3 preset threads that students can choose to reply to, and then there would be ongoing discussions within those three threads. The problem I have right now is that students open the forum, and then instead of replying to my preset threads, they are creating their own threads,…

How to stop notifications showing students their grades from hidden grade items?
We're relatively new to D2L, and I've got an issue with instructors publishing grades. Basically, I've got a professor grading his final exams, and he's got all of his grade items hidden and he even removed grades from the navbar so the students can't see the gradebook currently. Then he goes into spreadsheet view and is…

Can we tell how a user logged in (SSO vs noredirect)?
I'm guessing the answer is "no", because nothing in DataHub looks potentially relevant. Our users log in a few different ways, e.g. portal SSO vs native login page. Is there any record of which method is used?

Is padding added under each uploaded image? It doesn't appear in the HTML.
I am trying to create a table with one row and two cells. The first cell will be an image, the second some text. I want them to be vertically aligned in the middle. This is what I see: So....they're almost lined up...but the inner nitpicky me wonders why they aren't perfectly aligned. The image appears a little higher than…

In the New Content Experience, can you set manual completion tracking?
I have been testing out the new content experience as we may implement it school-wide next September, however I've noticed that the ability to have students manually track their own course completion in Content does not seem to be possible any more. Does anyone know if this functionality has moved to a different spot?…

How to make a global Widget that functions based on the current course?
The following specific issue is an example of a more general one we're facing: We have several small features (widgets, intelligent agents, possibly others) that we'd like to add to many courses all at once, and manage the feature as a single entity rather than go into each course one by one. But they need to function…

Can I view inline feedback for a student who has been withdrawn?
Sometimes I need to find the feedback left on an assignment for a student who has been withdrawn from a course. So what I usually do is go into Classlist --> Enrollment Statistics to find the student who was withdrawn, select the option to view their grades, then I can click on the link to their assignment folder…

Is it possible to set them up so that all I have to do is send a generic link to external individuals and they can self register onto the courses themselves? Or self register into the learning environment so that the courses are available to them? Context and…

Is it possible to share a card visualization on self-serve analytics (DOMO) to non LMS admins?
I seem to get an error when I try to type in an email address and share a card. Not sure if I need to invite or add users to DOMO first? They aren't creating cards, I just want them to be able to view the visualizations.

Has anyone found a way to use ungrading in Brightspace?
For example I have been trying to think of a way to use ungrading and release conditions. I get that you can use release conditions to restrict access to content until a student has mastered it. What I am looking for is how to use the Brightspace tools in ungrading. Thanks.

It seems the only way to achieve the 'Visible if conditions met' state is to 1. Make whatever it is you want globally visible 2. Quickly add start dates in the Manage Dates screen or whatever condition it is you want. 3. Hope that no one noticed whatever it was was you were trying to hide but set a release condition for…

What is the best way to manually grade quizzes comprised of written response questions?
I am looking for best process I should use to manually grade quizzes that include written response questions only. There is no set due date for these quizzes, so I grade them as they come in, usually 4 or 5 per day. Therefore, it does not make sense to grade by question. I also want the grade and feedback to be available…

I am working with a faculty member where students are able to view the feedback for the Final test with grade item hidden. The instructor says feedback was added when grading through Enter Grades in the course, and students are able to view the feedback when going and viewing their attempt on the Final test. I suspect this…

Can BrightSpace confirm that the "Short Description" field for Quiz questions is NEVER accessible...
It is tempting to name Quiz questions in a way that may give away the answer. Obviously this would be a bad idea if the "Short Description" field ever leaks through to the student. Can BrightSpace state definitively that this won't happen? I have not been able to find any documentation about this.
