Instructor Guided Training – Reminder
If you have not done so already, please feel free to access our D2L guided instructor training course by clicking the link with the D2L moose on your homepage. At first this training looks barren with only a few items, but as you complete each module a new one will open up! This training goes through the basics of D2L all the way through more advanced tools and is available to all instructors of the college. You will also be entered to win some D2L branded prizes such as a Morris the Moose plushie, travel pillows, and tumbler cups!

Quizzes – Attach rubrics to written response questions | New
A long awaited feature is finally here! It is now possible for instructors to attach a rubric to written response (long answer) questions on a quiz. This will allow instructors do add differing rubrics to multiple questions in a quiz.

Brightspace Tutorials On YouTube | Updated
The Brightspace Tutorials YouTube channel is updated to have only recent, up-to-date videos that reflect current Brightspace workflows. As part of that update, outdated videos that no longer accurately capture Brightspace’s current interface and experience have been unlisted. On October 31, all the specified outdated videos will be permanently removed. If you have embedded one of these videos into your courses, please check to see if the video is unlisted and make changes to the newly updated videos accordingly!
Tooltips in Assignment & Discussion Evaluation | Updated
The tooltips in the Assignments and Discussions evaluation experiences now use in-browser experiences. This feature improves accessibility for screen-reader users and creates visual consistency across Brightspace.
