Why can't we specify due dates for graded discussion topics?
I'm new to Brightspace. I've searched the articles and discussions, but see nothing about what seems like a very natural and obvious issue: Why aren't due dates able to be specified for graded discussion topics? Restricting availability doesn't allow students to post late--neither does locking. I would like to set a due…

I've also found identical copies of that elsewhere on the internet (re-posted by other educational institutions using BS). But I need some serious documentation so that I can import a large quantity of existing questions and generate…

Using Replacement Strings in rubrics
Has anybody had success using Replacement Strings in rubrics? I want to address the student in the feedback section for the criterion, however, the {FirstName} string defaults to my name. For example, Abbie Student should see: "Hi, Abbie. Good job." Instead, Abbie Student sees: "Hi, Adam. Good job." Any ideas?

Knowledge Test Submission View
I have allowed three attempts for a knowledge test, in which the users can only view the percentage they have scored. Now, I understand that we have the choice to enable the option in Submission View to see the correct responses. But can we restrict this view on the third attempt? In short - I want users to see correct…

Turnitin is removing support for TLS 1.1 on Dec 31. Are we good?
Turnitin includes Brightspace in the premium partner list, and customers of premium partners are not supposed to worry. But after my experience this summer, I worry. Our hosted learning environment is showing support for both TLS 1.1 and 1.2 on the SSL server test. Are we good, or is the continued TLS 1.1 support a problem…

3 months later - your progress with IPSIS?
There was a very informative session at Fusion about IPSIS where it was clear that many schools were patiently waiting to learn more before moving forward with IPSIS.

How do I get "Height=100%" working on an embed code in the Instructions field for Assignments?
Specifically, in the Instructions field for Assignments. It gives me a tiny height viewport, but the "Width" tag appears to work. If I manually set the height, to say, 1500px, it works fine, but I'd like it to do it automatically, in case the content changes later. Code Example: <object type="text/html" height="100%"…

Shared files for CSS?
We currently store the CSS file for a master course in Manage Files. When we copy the course, the CSS file copies. No problem. But suppose we want to make a change that affects 100 courses? We did that in some of our programs to take advantage of Daylight. But, tt would be easiest to store the program's CSS file in one…

The new visual style of D2L are very difficult to use. Can settings change them?
Hi, We’ve apparently updated D2L at the UA over the summer and I have a few questions/concerns about the new visuals. 1) Is there a way to have better color contrast and visual separation on the pages?

When I go to edit it again, it shows several spaces/lines between the text, but this…
