D2L July Updates
Quizzes – Reopen a submitted quiz attempt | New
Instructors can now reopen the most recently submitted quiz attempt, allowing learners to resume from where they left off. The new feature supports scenarios where learners run out of time or submit their attempt by mistake, reducing frustration from auto-submissions and improving overall quiz management flexibility.
Previously, instructors could not reopen a submitted quiz attempt. This update introduces the ability to return quiz attempts to an unsubmitted state and adjust time limits if needed.


Quizzes – Full HTML Editor for Question Feedback | New
This update introduces the full HTML editor for question-level feedback in Quizzes, enhancing the instructor experience and aligning it with the editors already available for Attempt Feedback and Overall Feedback, including support for the equation editor and file upload features.
Previously, instructors could leave feedback using only the inline HTML editor, which offered limited formatting and functionality.

Assignments – Flexible text or file submission options for enhanced student choice | New
This feature enables instructors to create a new assignment type that accepts submissions in the form of an uploaded file, text entered in Brightspace Editor, or both.
To create this new type of assignment, instructors must go to the New Assignment page, expand the Submission & Completion panel, open the Submission Type dropdown, and select the new File or text submission option.
Previously, the available Submission Types were: File submission, Text submission, On paper submission, and Observed in person.


Brightspace Training Resources | Reminder
Following our Brightspace Training webinar series, all past recordings and information from the trainings are accessible via the Discover tool from the Brightspace homepage where instructors can now self-enroll in the course. This course is purely for the archival of webinar training content but it has been opened for Instructor view!

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!
