Brightspace Platform 10.7.1Features

FeaturesBrightspace Learning Environment

Brightspace Data Platform - End-of-life of the ODBC Driver | RemovedD2L announces the end-of-life of the Brightspace Data Platform Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) driver. The ODBC driver allowed clients to create and run their own queries to access Brightspace event data in the Brightspace Data Platform. As of this release, the ODBC Driver is no longer available or supported.

System Requirement Change

Impact of Change Technical Details Next Steps

Slight impact to Administrators due to the end-of-life of the Brightspace Data Platform ODBC driver.

N/A To uninstall the ODBC driver:

1. From a command prompt window, navigate to the folder where the driver is installed. For example, type: cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\BrightspaceDataPlatformODBCDriver"

2. Type: .\unistall.cmd

To access Brightspace event data, D2L offers the following:

Brightspace Insights

Data Hub tool

For more information contact your D2L Account Manager.

Brightspace platform - Removal of legacy Help tool | RemovedThe legacy system Help tool has been removed from the Brightspace platform. The link to the new Brightspace Help site was made available in Brightspace Learning Environment 10.6.9.



Global Change Organization Wide


Slight impact to users due to the removal of the legacy Help tool.

If you previously had the legacy Help tool link on your navbar, it automatically changed to the new Brightspace Help link in Brightspace Learning Environment 10.6.9. If you had created your own links to the legacy Help, those links will no longer work.

The new Brightspace Help is a full website, external to Brightspace Learning Environment. It contains Continuous Delivery help resources for the suite of Brightspace products, microservices in the Brightspace Cloud, integrations, and Semester Start "frequently asked questions."

If you had your own links to the legacy Help, D2L recommends creating links to the new Brightspace Help site (https://documentation.brightspace.com).

You can also embed and customize help packages directly in your instance of Brightspace Learning Environment. See the Embedding and Customizing Brightspace Help Packages (https://community.brightspace.com/resources/documentation/help/help_package_instructions/embeddingandcustomizinghelppackagesadministratorguide) guide for more information.



Copy Course Components - Copying final grade properties includes calculated and adjusted grades | UpdatedWhen you copy final grade items, the copy process includes properties from the calculated and adjusted final grade items. In the Copy Course Components tool, when you select Copy All to select everything in the course, all final grade properties are now copied. If you copy individual components, Final Calculated Grade and Final Adjusted Grade appear in the list of components to select.

Figure 1: Select the Final Adjusted Grade and Final Calculated Grade as part of the items you want to copy.

Tool Change Workflow


Slight impact to instructors who can now include calculated and adjusted final grades in the Copy Course Components workflow.

N/A N/A



Daylight Experience - Improved learner workflows and responsive dialog boxes | UpdatedSome important learner workflows have been improved in the Daylight Experience. The following components of the Insert Stuff dialog are now responsive: My Computer, Insert Link, and Enter Embed Code. The Add a File dialog (used in Assignments) is also responsive. This makes the core learner workflows of adding and submitting files easier on tablets or mobile devices.



Figure 2: Responsive mobile view of the Insert Link dialog box

The Brightspace Daylight Experience features are now optimized for production environments when using the Google Chrome or Apple Safari browsers. The core tools and workflows in Brightspace Learning Environment have been tested extensively on these two browsers. In the coming months, D2L will continue to make updates across the product suite that reflect Daylight design and will continue to optimize the Daylight Experience in other browser environments. Turning on Daylight does not modify your content or other settings in Brightspace. All workflows and features in the Brightspace Daylight experience are available on all supported browsers; however, D2L is continuing to optimize performance and improve page load times on browsers other than Chrome and Safari. If you turn on the Brightspace Daylight Experience to do some testing, you can turn off the configuration variable to restore your site to the original look and feel.

Look and Feel Tool Change

Users Only Workflow




Slight impact to users due to improvements to learner workflows and responsive behavior in dialog boxes.

The feature is now available to clients who turn on the d2l.system.BrightspaceDaylightExperience configuration variable.

You must have this configuration variable set before you can use this feature.

Discussions - Allow instructors to post to all groups at once | NewInstructors can now post a discussion thread to all the associated groups/sections from a group discussion topic. If an instructor does not have access to all groups they have the option to post a thread to All groups/sections assigned to me.



This feature implements PIE item D185.

Figure 4: Instructors can post to all groups/sections assigned to them



Configuration Variable Look and Feel

Organization Wide Role Permissions

System Requirement Change Tool Change

Workflow


Slight impact to administrators due to a required configuration variable to make this feature available.

The configuration variable d2l.Tools.Discuss.EnableGroupFilteredTopics must be turned on for these features to be available. As of Brightspace Learning Environment 10.7.1, this variable is on by default.

In the Config Variable Browser, ensure that the Organization Value for d2l.Tools.Discuss.EnableGroupFilteredTopics is set to on, or no Organization Value is set.

Slight impact to instructors due to a change in workflow when posting to group discussion topics.

When posting to a group discussion topic, instructors have the option to post their thread to an individual group or all groups.

From a group discussion topic, click Start a New Thread and use the Post Thread to dropdown list to select an individual group or All Groups before posting.

Discussions - Default value for Discussions configuration variable | UpdatedThe default value of the configuration variable d2l.Tools.Discuss.EnableGroupFilteredTopics is changing from off to on. This variable controls whether discussion topics can contain group specific posts. Clients who do not want this feature available can edit the Org Value of the variable and set it to off. Changes to the configuration variable's default status do not affect Org Values that are already in place. If no Org Value is set, the default behavior for your organization changes after the 10.7.1 update is complete.

Configuration Variable Global Change

Look and Feel Organization Wide





Slight impact to administrators due to the change in the default status of the configuration variable d2l.Tools.Discuss.EnableGroupFilteredTopics.

The d2l.Tools.Discuss.EnableGroupFilteredTopics variable determines if improvements to group discussions are available to instructors and learners. This variable changes the default value when creating group discussions to Create one topic with threads separated by group. This type of topic simplifies instructor workflows when navigating between group discussions, assessing discussion topics, and copying groups between courses.

For more information on improvements to group discussions see the Brightspace Platform 10.6.9 Release Notes https://community.brightspace.com/resources/documentation/release_notes/files/january_2017_release_notes/brightspace_platform_1069_release_notes.

If you want the improvements available to your users, ensure that the d2l.Tools.Discuss.EnableGroupFilteredTopics configuration variable does not have its Org Value set to off.

If you do not want the improvements available to your users, ensure that the d2l.Tools.Discuss.EnableGroupFilteredTopics configuration variable has the Org Value set to off.

HTML Editor - Improved paste functionality in Quizzes | UpdatedThe HTML Editor tool has improved paste functionality for the new quiz question authoring experience in the Quizzes tool. Administrators and instructors can copy content from external sources such as Microsoft Word and various HTML sources, and paste it as question or answer content in a quiz question, while retaining the formatting and images from the source location.

This feature implements PIE item D2627.

Tool Change


Slight impact to instructors and administrators due to improved paste functionality in HTML Editor in Quizzes.

A new confirmation dialog box now displays when you paste content into a quiz question.

The improved paste functionality is also available in the Email, Content, Announcements, and Discussions tools.

Integrations

IPSIS - Reactivate users | NewIPSIS administrators can now reactivate users that have been deactivated, that is, they can change an inactive user’s status back to active. Previously, a user’s status could only be set upon creation.

Additionally, the Standard SIS integration now considers the user’s status from the CSV file that administrators must generate. Previously, the user status column wasn't captured.



Integration Workflow


Slight impact to IPSIS administrators who now have the ability to change a user's status after it has been set at creation.

Now, when a deletePerson request deactivates a user, IPSIS provides the ability to change the user’s status back to active using a replacePerson request.

To interpret the user’s status information from the CSV file, a new translator was created: D2L.IM.IPSIS.LIS.RequestAdapters.PMS.Default.PersonRequestIsActiveTranslator. The translator is released as inactive and must be configured to become active.

To reactivate a user:

1. Since the user status does not match directly with a field from the LIS specification, you must implement an extension field on the replacePerson request to make use of this feature. See the IPSIS – Administrator Guide, when it is released, for more information on how to implement the extension field.

2. From the Admin Tools menu, select IPSIS Administration, and click the Configuration tab.

3. Within the LIS area, under Person Management, click Person - Replace.

4. In the Available Plug-ins area, select the D2L.IM.IPSIS.LIS.RequestAdapters.PMS.Default.PersonRequestIsActiveTranslator check box.

5. Click Add to Configuration. and ensure the sort order of the Active Plug-ins is correct (see the IPSIS - Administrator Guide for more information).

6. Click Save and Close.

IPSIS - Support for departments with upper org units | NewSome organizations want to have an org unit above the department level for purposes such as advanced reporting, custom login logic, or competency structures. For organizations that have a custom org unit above the department level, but below the top organization level, IPSIS now recognizes that org unit even if it was not created through IPSIS. Previously, IPSIS didn't recognize custom org units manually created between the organization level and the department level.



Integration Workflow


Slight impact to IPSIS administrators due to the ability for custom org units above the department level to be recognized.

Now, when the ReplaceDepartmentRequest call is processed, it does not remove custom org units above the department level, but recognizes them and leaves them intact.

A new handler has been added that preserves org structure above the department level: D2L.IM.IPSIS.Default.OrgUnits.Departments.Handlers.ReplaceDepartmentParentsNoUpdateLMSHandler. The handler is released as inactive and must be configured to become active.

To preserve org structure above the department level:

1. From the Admin Tools menu, select IPSIS Administration, and click the Configuration tab.

2. Within the IPSIS Platform area, under Org Unit, click Departments - Replace.

3. In the Available Plug-ins area, select the D2L.IM.IPSIS.Default.OrgUnits.Departments.Handlers.ReplaceDepartmentParentsNoUpdateLMSHandler check box.

4. Click Add to Configuration. and ensure the sort order of the Active Plug-ins is correct (see the IPSIS - Administrator Guide, when it is released, for more information).

5. Click Save and Close.

Activity Feed

Activity Feed – Web link and Google Drive attachments | NewYou can now add stylized web links and Google Drive files to a post in Activity Feed.



Using the Attach Web Links picker, you can enter a web URL and title that is styled and formatted as a clickable attachment to the post. Using the Attach Google Drive File picker, you can select a file that is styled and formatted as a clickable attachment to the post. These links are included below the post rather than as a part of the inline text. After an external weblink or Google Drive file is attached, an icon appears indicating the type of attachment on the post.

Figure 6: Web Link and Google Drive icons appear as attachment options for an Activity Feed


Users Only




Slight impact to instructors who want to use web links or Google Drive attachments in activity feeds.

Google Drive attachments must originate from the instructor's personal Google Account. Before attaching the link, the instructor must ensure that the file has proper visibility permissions in Google Drive.

1. Navigate to a course homepage with Activity Feed widget available.

2. Click anywhere in the Create a post text box and type a message.

3. Do one or more of the following:

To attach a web link, click

.

To attach a Google Drive file from your Google

account, click .

Virtual Classrooms and Video Assignments by YouSeeU

Virtual Classrooms by YouSeeU – New HTML5 client available for Virtual Classrooms | NewInstructors can now use the HTML5 version of the Virtual Classroom client in addition to the existing Flash version of the client. HTML5 is the now the recommended Virtual Classrooms client when using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. HTML5 is not yet available in other browsers due to missing technical dependencies.

Integration System Requirement Change

Workflow Tool Change




Medium impact to administrators due to new recommended Virtual Classroom client.

HTML5 is the new default; however, you are still able to choose the Flash version of the client.

When an instructor launches a virtual meeting, selecting Enter Meeting Room (New & Improved) starts a HTML5 version of the Virtual Classroom client.

Selecting Enter Meeting Room continues to start a Flash version of the Virtual Classroom client.


Brightspace Platform 10.7.1Fixed Issues

Fixed IssuesTo keep you informed about the improvements D2L has made to Brightspace Learning Environment, the Fixed Issues List consists of issues that have been fixed in the current release, unless otherwise noted.

Assignments

PRB0053509Previously, in Brightspace Learning Environment, while using a Chrome browser, when you entered your email address in the Notification Email field, and if that email address was saved in your Chrome auto-fill settings, you might have observed that the quiz and assignment name and other fields were populated with auto-fill information.

Now, in Brightspace Learning Environment, while using a Chrome browser, when you enter your email address in the Notification Email field, and if that email address is saved in your Chrome auto-fill settings, the quiz and assignment name and other fields are not populated with auto-fill information, as expected.

Found in Brightspace Learning Environment 10.3.0.

Awards

PRB0053409Previously, when you revoked an award from a user and you had another award with an associated release condition that specified a user needs to earn the revoked award, the new award was automatically issued to the user.

Now, when you revoke an award from a user and you have another award with an associated release condition that specifies a user needs to earn the revoked award, the new award is not automatically issued to the user.


PRB0053310Previously, when you were editing an award and you tried to create a release condition, you might have observed that a dialog box appeared but did not load successfully.

Now, when you are editing an award and you try to create a release condition, a dialog box appears and loads successfully.


To reproduce this fix:

1. In Brightspace Learning Environment, go to the Awards tool.

2. Navigate to Course Awards.

3. Select an award (or create a new one) and click Edit Properties.



4. Under Release Conditions, click Create.

5. Observe that a dialog box appears and loads successfully.

Brightspace Data Sets

PRB0054810Previously, the User Logins data set returned a much smaller volume of data as specified in the BatchLimit setting (default of 100,000 rows), rather than the RowLimit setting (default of 150,000,000 rows). This might have resulted in retrieving data worth a few days for clients with large volumes of user login data, rather than retrieving data for two years, as expected. This defect might have had no impact on clients with smaller volumes of data.

Now, the User Logins data set returns the expected volume of data as specified in the RowLimit setting.

This issue was fixed as part of a later Brightspace Learning Environment 10.7.1 bundle.

Brightspace ePortfolio and Brightspace ePortfolio Mobile

PRB0054433Previously, in Brightspace ePortfolio, when you attempted to open a file from the Dashboard or from My Items, and if the file name contained special characters, you might have encountered an error.

Now, in Brightspace ePortfolio, when you attempt to open a file from the Dashboard or from My Items, and if the file name contains special characters, the file opens, as expected.

Fixed in Brightspace Learning Environment 10.7.0.

Brightspace Learning Environment

PRB0054482 (Daylight)Previously, in Brightspace Learning Environment with Daylight turned on, when you applied the open dyslexic font type, the system font did not change.

Now, in Brightspace Learning Environment with Daylight turned on, when you apply the open dyslexic font type, the system font changes, as expected.


PRB0054469Previously, in Brightspace Learning Environment, while using Internet Explorer 11, when you attempted to load a SCORM package, you might have observed that it did not load.



Now, in Brightspace Learning Environment, while using Internet Explorer 11, SCORM packages load, as expected.


Brightspace Valence

PRB0047206Previously, when using the Brightspace Valence API call /d2l/api/le/(version)/lti/link/(orgUnitId)/, only external learning tools (ELTs) that were not hidden were retrieved.

Now, when using the Brightspace Valence API call /d2l/api/le/(version)/lti/link/(orgUnitId)/, all external learning tools (ELTs) links are retrieved, including hidden links.

Found in Brightspace Learning Environment 10.3.0 SP1.

PRB0054611Previously, OAuth 2.0 client integrations may not have worked due to new dedicated security requirements.

Now, wildcard permissions for specific scopes are allowed, and as a result, OAuth 2.0 client integrations work as expected.

This issue was fixed as part of a later Brightspace platform 10.7.0 bundle.

Content

PRB0052429Previously, in Content, while using Internet Explorer, if your HTML page contained the <style type="text/css"> tag, you might have observed that the HTML Editor tool did not load completely.

Now, in Content, while using Internet Explorer, if your HTML page contains the <style type="text/css"> tag, the HTML Editor tool loads completely, as expected.


PRB0054276Previously, when you attempted to export course content reports for large classlists, you might have encountered a timeout error.

Now, you can successfully export course content reports for large classlists, without error.




Document Viewer

PRB0042597Previously, when you attempted to view files annotated in PowerPoint by the pen tool, you might have observed that the annotations were not rendered by the document viewer.

Now, when you attempt to view files annotated in PowerPoint by the pen tool, the annotations are rendered successfully by the document viewer.

Fixed in Brightspace platform 10.7.0.

Email

PRB0054346 (Daylight)Previously, in Brightspace Learning Environment, with Daylight enabled, when you attempted to compose an email, you might have observed that the drop-down menu options in the HTML Editor were floating.

Now, in Brightspace Learning Environment, with Daylight enabled, when you attempt to compose an email, the drop-down menu options in the HTML Editor stick to their respective drop-down menus, as expected.


External Learning Tools

PRB0054658Previously, in Brightspace Learning Environment, when you attempted to load the list of external learning tool links in a course from the Manage External Learning Tool Links page or the Import/Export/Copy Components > Select Components to Export area, you might have encountered an error.

Now, in Brightspace Learning Environment, you can successfully load the list of external learning tool links in a course from the Manage External Learning Tool Links page or the Import/Export/Copy Components > Select Components to Export area, as expected.


Grades

PRB0053890Previously, in Brightspace Learning Environment, if there was a large gradebook with 200+ grade items, you might have encountered an error when you did any of the following:

clicked on a learner's name to go to the learner's page

clicked on the assignment submission icon on the Enter Grades page



clicked on the plus/minus sign next to a Category to expand or collapse the category

PRB0054135Previously, in the HTML Editor tool with Daylight enabled, while using Firefox, Internet Explorer 11, or Microsoft Edge browsers, the color palette option did not apply changes to text color.

Now, in the HTML Editor tool with Daylight enabled, while using Firefox, Internet Explorer 11, or Microsoft Edge browsers, the color palette option applies changes to text color, as expected.

Fixed in Brightspace platform 10.7.0.

Import/Export/Copy Components

PRB0050774Previously, some courses imported directly from Blackboard version 9.1 generated quizzes without submission views configured and when learners accessed these quizzes, they might have encountered an error.

Now, some courses imported directly from Blackboard version 9.1 generate quizzes without submission views configured and when learners access these quizzes, default submission views are generated, as needed.



1. In Brightspace Learning Environment, import a Blackboard 9.1 export package containing quizzes to a course.

2. Once the import is complete, edit a quiz that was created by the Blackboard package.

3. Preview the quiz and submit the attempt.

4. Observe that the submission view appears, as expected.

PRB0054331Previously, in an instance of Brightspace Learning Environment that had Daylight turned off, if you attempted to preview a multi-select question that had at least one correct answer specified, an error occurred.

Now, in an instance of Brightspace Learning Environment that has Daylight turned off, if you attempt to preview a multi-select question that has at least one correct answer specified, you can preview the question as expected.



1. Access Brightspace Learning Environment and ensure that Daylight is turned off.

2. Within either a quiz or Question Library, create a multi-select question.

3. Specify at least one of the answers as correct.

4. In the question editing mode, click Preview.

5. Observe that you can preview the question, as expected.

PRB0054470Currently, if you import a CSV sample file that contains a Written Response (WR) question type, an error occurs and the import of the WR question fails.



Now, you can successfully import a CSV sample file that contains a Written Response (WR) question type or a Long Answer question type, without error.


PRB0053426Previously, in the new quiz question creation experience, you could not paste images from Microsoft Word (or other sources like Google Docs) directly into the HTML Editor tool. This ability was previously enabled in Brightspace Learning Environment version 10.6.7 for the following tools: Content, Discussions, Announcements, and Email. Image pasting was not supported in legacy quiz question creation pages.

Now, in the new quiz question creation experience, you can paste images from Microsoft Word (or other sources like Google Docs) directly into the HTML Editor tool. Image pasting is not and will not be supported in legacy quiz question creation pages.


PRB0054289Previously, in Internet Explorer 11, when you attempted to use the new quizzing experience for short answer questions, you might have encountered an error.

Now, in Internet Explorer 11, you can use the new quizzing experience for short answer questions, without error.


PRB0054315Previously, in the new quizzing experience, for Short Answer questions with at least two blanks and the Students must answer all blanks correctly option selected, correct answers were denoted as incorrect in the results, even though the Score was accurate.

Now, in the new quizzing experience, for Short Answer questions with at least two blanks and the Students must answer all blanks correctly option selected, correct answers are denoted as correct in the results, as expected.



1. In an instance of Brightspace Learning Environment that has the new quizzing experience enabled, create a new quiz and give it a name.

2. In the Restrictions tab, from the Status drop-down, select Active.

3. In the Assessment tab, select the Allow attempt to be set as graded immediately upon completion check box.

13. Observe that on the Grade Attempt page, in the Quiz Results area, the correct answers are denoted as correct.

PRB0054010Previously, when you attempted to delete sections within a quiz, you might have encountered a timeout error.

Now, you can successfully delete sections within a quiz, without error.


Widgets

PRB0054468Since the My Courses widget did not recognize user enrollment in departments or semesters if it was not done explicitly (it was usually implicit, that is, users were enrolled into courses that were part of departments/semesters), the filter options on the All Courses page might have not displayed when they were expected to.

Improvements have been made to the filter options for the My Courses widget and the filter now shows semesters and departments to filter by based on implicit enrollment in a department or semester that is a parent of a course rather than only explicit department and semester enrollments.


User Management

PRB0042995Previously, when you used the API call PUT /d2l/api/lp/1.3/users/(userid) to update user information, you might have encountered an error message if you had specified an incorrect case for any character in an existing username.

Now, when you use the API call PUT /d2l/api/lp/1.3/users/(userid) to update user information, this API no longer treats the Username field as case-sensitive.



1. In Brightspace Learning Environment, create a user.



2. Create an API call to PUT /d2l/api/lp/1.3/users/(testuserid) but specify an incorrect case for any character in the username.

3. Observe that you can successfully make the update.

Accessibility

PRB0054718Using iOS on mobile devices (iPad or iPhone) with Apple VoiceOver turned on, you cannot change the edit permissions for a Google Drive document directly in the app using swipe motions.

As a workaround, change the edit permissions in Google Drive instead.


PRB0054719Using the Safari browser on a Mac computer, with Apple VoiceOver on, you can use the keyboard to navigate to the Edit Permissions menu of Google Picker, but Apple VoiceOver does not read the menu items.


PRB0054720In some cases, using the Internet Explorer 11 browser, the Grid and List views of Google Picker do not always switch between one another when you press Enter/Space on your keyboard.


Activity Feed

PRB0054649If you view Activity Feed without having your Brightspace Learning Environment role mapped to an appropriate and supported IMS Role, you cannot see posts or comments in the feed.


To reproduce this issue:

1. In a Brightspace Learning Environment course, add Activity Feed to the homepage.

2. Enroll a user in the course with a Brightspace Learning Environment role that has not been mapped to an IMS role.



3. Access the course homepage as this user.

4. Observe that you cannot see posts or comments in the feed, and you can only see the titles.

Announcements

PRB0049901When a user has the Add/Edit/Delete Global Announcements permission but not the Add/Edit/Delete Announcements permission, they cannot edit and delete items from all the places they should. For example, on the Announcements page, selecting Edit from the context menu of the item you want to edit gives an error, but clicking on the link itself opens the Edit page correctly.



1. Create a user who has a role with minimal permissions, for example, Student.

2. From the Admin Tools menu, select Roles and Permissions.

3. Click the role of the user that you created.

4. From the Filter by Tool drop-down list, select Announcements.

6. Log in as or impersonate the user you created.

7. From the Admin Tools widget, select Global Announcements.

8. Create a new global item.

9. Click Publish.

10. From the context menu of the global item you just created, select Edit.

11. Observe the error message that displays.

12. Browse to My Home.

13. From the context menu of the Announcements widget, notice that the Edit/Delete Global Announcements Item option is missing.

Assignments

PRB0054710 (Daylight)In instances of Brightspace Learning Environment that have the Daylight experience enabled, in the Assignments tool, the delete icon for individual file submissions is not in the Submissions view. This means that you cannot delete individual submissions for a user, but can only delete all submissions at once.





1. In an instance of Brightspace Learning Environment that has the Daylight experience enabled, access a course.

2. Create a new individual submission folder.

3. Impersonate a learner and submit two or more files to the folder.

4. Stop impersonating the learner.

PRB0054349 (Daylight)With the Daylight experience enabled, in the Roles and Permissions table, the icons you use to horizontally scroll might not always display, or might align incorrectly in the center of the table.


PRB0047355A learner without the Audit Users permission can select actions related to auditing another learner.



1. Ensure that the d2l.Tools.UserManagement.OrgHasAuditors configuration variable is turned on.

2. Create two learners and enroll them into a course.

3. From Roles and Permissions, view the learner role and ensure that:

User Auditors > Audit Users is turned off for all organization unit types.

Class Progress > See User Progress is turned on for the organization and course offering levels.

Class Progress > See User Progress for All Users is turned off for all organization unit types.

4. Navigate to the course offering you enrolled the learners in and view the classlist.

5. From the context menu of the first learner, select Manage Auditors, and then click Users <learner1> audits.

6. Hover your mouse over the yellow icon and notice that it states that this user does not have permission to audit users, which is correct.

7. Add the second learner as a user to audit.



8. Navigate to the classlist in the course, and impersonate the first learner.

9. Navigate to the classlist, and find the second learner.

10. Observe that you can view the second learner's Progress Summary (View progress) without error, even though you don't have the necessary permissions.

PRB0054721 (Daylight)Currently, in the Daylight experience, in the Content tool, when you select the workflow to Add From Manage Files or Browse Templates to use in the HTML editor, you are presented with a list of sources to browse rather than to deep link directly to Organization Files. Organization Files is one of the source options presented.


Calendar

PRB0053262In some cases, if you use the Internet Explorer browser, the Week view in the Calendar tool displays events pushed to the left of each day or time slot so that you cannot read them. This affects events that have an End Date, such as discussion items, submission folders, and quizzes.

Checklist

PRB0054064If you create a checklist item from Content, and then if you delete the checklist item from within the Checklist tool, an error occurs. This is because the Display in Calendar check box is automatically enabled for the checklist item, even if you didn't add a due date to the item, because the associated calendar event doesn't actually exist.



1. In an instance of Brightspace Learning Environment, access a course.

2. Go to Content, and from the Upload/Create button, select New Checklist.

3. Enter a title and instructions, and click Publish.

10. From the context menu of the content topic title, select Edit HTML.

11. Click the image to select it, and click the Insert Quicklink icon.

12. Select a different tool, Discussions, for example, select a discussion forum, and then select a discussion topic.

13. Click Update.

14. Click the image and it takes you to the discussion topic you selected.

15. From the context menu of the content topic title, select Edit HTML.

16. Click the source code icon.

17. In the HTML Source Editor, observe that the HTML code for the first quicklink displays below the image in a separate tag, and the second quicklink HTML code displays above the image.

PRB0053725 (Daylight)If you add a PDF file to Content that is dynamically linked from Brightspace Learning Repository, and then you access that PDF on an iPad, you cannot scroll beyond the first page.



1. Access an instance of Brightspace Learning Environment that has the Daylight experience enabled.

2. Navigate to Brightspace Learning Repository and click the Publish tab.

PRB0054056If you copy content items into a course that references completed items elsewhere in the course, that content item doesn't display as completed.



1. As an administrator in a course (C1) in Brightspace Learning Environment, create a discussion forum, topic, and a content topic that links to your discussion topic.

2. Impersonate a learner in the course and post to the discussion topic.

3. Return to the content topic page and refresh it. Notice a checkmark displays beside the topic indicating that you've completed it.

4. Stop impersonating the learner.

5. Copy C1 to another course (C2).

6. Copy C2's content back to C1.

7. In C1, access Content and click the link for the content topic you created.

8. Click the Completion Summary tab.

9. Observe that the learner you impersonated does not appear to have posted to the discussion topic, and therefore hasn't completed the content item.

PRB0054068If you fix a broken link in Content and then re-associate the broken link to an existing discussion item, quiz, or other linked item, learners who have already completed that item do not see the checkmark indicating that it's complete.



1. In a course in Brightspace Learning Environment, access the Discussions tool and create a discussion topic.

2. Go to Content, and in Settings, from the Content Arrangement drop-down, select None.

3. Click Save.

Discussions

PRB0054596If you use grid view in Discussions, the following unexpected behavior might occur when working with Draft posts:

1. After you post a previously saved draft, the page reloads and the post is no longer open in the reading pane. However, the draft was posted successfully, and is visible in the grid.

As a workaround, manually select the post you made to view it in the reading pane.

2. If you open a saved draft, edit it, and then post it, the draft post is posted to the topic successfully; however, a copy of the draft post remains in the draft folder.

As a workaround, manually delete the draft from the draft folder.


To reproduce issue #1:

1. Log in to an instance of Brightspace Learning Environment that has both Grid View and Save Drafts enabled for the Discussions tool.

4. Click Save as Draft.

5. Click the link for the draft to open it.

6. Click Edit, and then click Post.

7. Observe that the draft it posted successfully but a copy of the post remains in the draft folder.

Email

PRB0053888If the Email > See the Address Book permission is only set for a user at the course offering level and not the organization level, the Address Book opens but does not load, and remains in that state for an indeterminate amount of time.



1. Log in to Brightspace Learning Environment as an administrator.

2. From the Admin Tools menu, select Security > Roles and Permissions.

3. For the Student role, enable the Email > See the Address Book permission at the course offering level, and remove the permission from the organization level.

5. Navigate to the Email tool.

6. Click Compose, and then click Address Book.

7. Observe that the Address Book opens but does not load.

PRB0054583 (Daylight)Using an iPhone to access an instance of Brightspace Learning Environment that has the Daylight experience enabled, if you tap the ellipsis icon in Email, the settings do not display.



1. Using an iPhone, access an instance of Brightspace Learning Environment that has the Daylight experience enabled.

2. Go to the Email tool.

3. Tap the ellipsis icon.

4. Observe that the button is not responsive and the settings do not display.



Google Drive

PRB0054661Using iOS on an iPad, if you drag the resize control to decrease the size of the Google Drive dialog box, the icons for Google documents do not get smaller. As a result, you must move around the smaller area to see all the items.


PRB0054717Using iOS on a mobile device, if you switch from landscape to portrait mode when viewing the Google Drive dialog box, portrait view does not display all the items. As a result, you must move around the view to see all the items.


PRB0054742Using the Internet Explorer 11 browser on a tablet running a Windows 8 operating system, after you close the Google sign-in screen, you are not automatically taken to the Google Picker dialog box, as you would expect to be.

As a workaround, close Google Picker and re-open it.



1. Open Google Picker.

2. Click to connect to your Google account.

3. Sign in to Google.

4. Observe that the authentication tab closes, but Google Picker does not load.

Grades

PRB0054008Invalid grade schemes can be created using the course import process. If these grade schemes are associated to grade items, errors can occur when the grade scheme symbol displays or when the grade update event occurs.


PRB0054376 (Daylight)In the Daylight Experience, if a learner uses the Print option to print their entire grades spreadsheet, the spreadsheet truncates to one page and might cut off information, rather than print on multiple pages.





1. As a learner with enough grades to span multiple pages, access an instance of Brightspace Learning Environment.

2. Go to Grades.

3. On the Grades page, click Print.

4. Observe that the printed page truncates to one page, and does not include additional grade information that spans beyond that page.

PRB0054097If you create a grade item with Brightspace developer platform using a Text description instead of an HTML description, and then you save the grade item within Brightspace Learning Environment, you see HTML tags because the HTML editor automatically inserts them. This is because the API call can set the grade description as Text, but the HTML editor always inserts the description as HTML.



1. Create a new grade item using Brightspace developer platform. The code for the API call is as follows:

POST /d2l/api/le/{version}/{orgUnitId}/grades/{ "MaxPoints": 100.000000000, "CanExceedMaxPoints": true, "IsBonus": false, "ExcludeFromFinalGradeCalculation": false, "GradeSchemeId": null, "Name": "TEST", "ShortName": "TEST", "GradeType": "Numeric", "CategoryId": null, "Description": { "Content": "Text Description", "Type": "text" }, "AssociatedToolId": null}

2. Access a course in Brightspace Learning Environment, and view the grade item in Grades.

3. Without making any changes to the grade item, click Save.

4. Observe that the description displays as "<p>Text Description</p>" instead of "Text Description".



Groups

PRB0054136If a course has sections and then you disable the Course Offering Info > Course Has Sections option, the sections turn into groups. Additionally, if you enable the Course Has Sections options again in that course, the sections still display as groups.



1. Access or create a course in Brightspace Learning Environment.

2. On the navbar, click Course Admin.

3. Click Course Offering Information.

4. Select the Course has sections check box.

5. Specify a department and a semester.

6. Click Save.

7. Navigate to Course Admin and click Sections.

8. Click Create Sections, and create sections of any kind and number.

9. Click Create.

10. Navigate to Course Admin > Course Offering Information.

11. Deselect the Course has sections check box, and click Save.

12. Go to the Groups tool.

13. Expand the View Categories drop-down list and observe that there is a section category that includes the section(s) you created.

HTML Editor

PRB0054629In the Internet Explorer 11 browser, if you drag and drop HTML code into an HTML editor and then, in the dialog box that displays, click Keep Formatting, the formatting is not properly retained.


PRB0054630In the Microsoft Edge browser, if you copy or paste text-only content from Microsoft Word, the dialog box that asks if you want to keep or remove formatting does not display.





1. Using the Microsoft Edge browser, access an instance of Brightspace Learning Environment.

2. In a course, navigate to any HTML editor, for example, in Content.

3. Copy a block of text from Microsoft Word and paste it into the HTML editor.

1. Using the latest version of the Safari browser, access an instance of Brightspace Learning Environment.

2. In a course, navigate to any HTML editor, for example, in Content.

3. Attempt to drag and drop an image into the HTML editor.

4. Observe that the browser does not let you add the image.

PRB0054380In the Google Chrome browser, within the new quiz question editing experience, if you paste into the HTML editor, the HTML editor might stop responding.

As a workaround, save the question and return to editing mode and the HTML editor is responsive.


PRB0053432In some cases, if you paste pre-formatted HTML code into the standard view of an HTML editor, the class tags are stripped. If you paste into the source editor of an HTML editor, the class tags persist.


Import/Export/Copy Components

PRB0053596If you copy group categories of the Enrollment Type "# of Groups ", users do not auto-enroll in the destination course.





1. Create a course in Brightspace Learning Environment.

2. In a course, enroll eight users with a role that can be auto-enrolled into groups.

3. In Groups, create a group category with Enrollment Type > # of Groups.

4. In the Number of Groups field, enter 4.

5. Under Advanced Properties, select Auto-enroll new users.

6. Click Save.

7. Create a second category with Enrollment Type > Groups of #.

17. Click Finish and wait for the copy to complete.

18. Access the course with the copied components and go to Groups.

19. Observe that the group with the "Groups of #" enrollment type has users in each group, but the group with the "# of Groups" enrollment type does not.

Integrations

PRB0053969If a user has a role that has the Access All Course Sections permission but does not have the Access All Course Groups permission, and you try to unenroll that user from a section using the IPSIS integration, the user is only unenrolled from the section, and not the course offering above the section.

As a workaround, grant the user's role the Access All Course Groups permission before you submit the unenroll request.




Question Library

PRB0054626In the HTML editors found in the new quiz question editing experience, in some cases, when a large image is pasted into a field, the loading indicator does not display while the image is being inserted. For this reason, users might navigate away from the page before the image saves.



1. Access an instance of Brightspace Learning Environment and ensure that the new quiz question editing experience is enabled.

2. In a course, create a quiz.

3. Add a multiple choice question.

4. In the question editing view, paste a large image from Microsoft Word or drag and drop a large image file from your computer into one of the question or answer text HTML editors.

5. Click Save, and if the dialog displays saying the image is not done uploading, observe that the image doesn't show any indication that its upload is not done complete.

PRB0054627When you paste from Microsoft Word into an HTML editor within the new quiz question editing experience, a dialog box displays asking you to choose whether to keep or remove the associated formatting. In the Internet Explorer 11 browser, if you click Remove Formatting, the dialog box closes but the image does not paste. The Keep Formatting option works as expected.



1. Using the Internet Explorer 11 browser, access an instance of Brightspace Learning Environment and ensure that the new quiz question editing experience is enabled.



4. Copy some content that contains text from Microsoft Word and paste it into one of the HTML editors.

5. In the Paste Formatting Options dialog box, click Remove Formatting.

6. Observe that the dialog box closes but the image does not paste.

PRB0054631In the new quiz question editing experience, if you paste a large image into an HTML editor, and you either activate or deactivate full screen mode while the image is uploading, the upload does not complete successfully.




PRB0054633In the Microsoft Edge browser, within the new quiz question editing experience, if you drag and drop an image into an HTML editor, the image might appear to be added to the outside of the top edge of the editor instead of within its boundaries. Additionally, when you save, the image does not persist.



1. Using the Microsoft Edge browser, access an instance of Brightspace Learning Environment and ensure that the new quiz question editing experience is enabled.



4. Attempt to drag an image into the HTML editor, and drop it as close to the top of editor as you can.

5. Observe that the image appears to be added to the outside of the top edge of the editor instead of within its boundaries. Also, when you save, the image does not persist.

PRB0054479In the equation editor inside the new quiz question creation experience, if you use colors in your equations, the colors might not appear correctly in the inline preview of the equation.

7. Enter some text in the answer fields and select one correct answer.

8. Click Save.

9. Open the question again in editing mode, and observe that the colors of the quadratic equation are different than when you saved.



Widgets

PRB0052619Previously, in the My Courses widget, when you did an advanced search and you set filters for semester and department that resulted in there only being one search result, you were automatically redirected to that result. The search also saved those filters so that if you navigated to the search tool in the future, you were automatically redirected to that single search result again, which made the search ineffective for any other criteria.

As a workaround, return to the organization level and access the advanced search option.



1. Access an instance of Brightspace Learning Environment that has the My Courses widget, and as a user that is enrolled in a semester and a department.

2. Click View All Courses.

3. On the All Courses page, click Advanced Search.

4. Set search filters for Department and Semester that cause there to be only one search result.

5. With those filters set, click the link for the single course offering.
