Discussions - No text in messages

Occasionally, a posting to a discussion forum (or a response to a posting) may appear to be blank.

This situation may be a result of this known issue: https://jira.doit.wisc.edu/KnownIssuesList/RequestController?issueId=43512&stylesheet=knownissues.css

As described in the linked article, removing certain HTML tags from the original posting (using the HTML editor) may resolve the issue.  However, it is difficult for most users to find the offending tags and eliminate them in the html view of the editor -- most people don't even know that view exists.

One best practice is for users to compose their D2L Discussion postings in something OTHER than MS Word. Notepad is an easy solution, but since there is no spellcheck, the person who uses Notepad might want to do spellchecking and editing (font, bold, italic, etc) AFTER they paste into D2L.

This known issue is not consistent across all users who copy/paste from Word into the D2L HTML editor, and it doesn't even happen EVERY time for a single user, for some reason, so it is very difficult to prevent and troubleshoot.

Resizing the D2L HTML editor window

It is possible to change the size of the window where I type in D2L!


1.  Click on the lower right-hand corner of the HTML editor window, then 
2.  drag it to make the window larger or smaller, as you wish. 


Here's a quick (silent) video that illustrates how to do it: http://screencast.com/t/CyFAublxZALC

Changing an Attendance Scheme

If you already have an attendance register set up, you can change the scheme by following these directions:
WARNING!!! - if you change the scheme after you have already put in some attendance data, you will lose all of that data so you probably will only want to change the scheme if you have copied it over from a previous semester to a new semester.

1) Click on Attendance in the D2L NavBar
2) Click on Attendance Schemes
3) Click on the two sheets of paper icon by "System Scheme," this will create a scheme called "Copy of System Scheme"

4) Click on the "Copy of System Scheme" and make whatever changes to the scheme that you would like to make, then save.
5) On the box on the far left of the screen, click on Attendance Registers

6) Open up the register that you want to change.
7) Click on Edit Register
8) Change the Attendance Scheme to "Copy of System Scheme" and save

Taking Screen Shots for Windows and Mac OS

Mac OS X:

To take a screen shot of the entire screen, hold down Command (the key with the apple on it), Shift and 3 keys.
If you want to select a portion to capture, hold down Command, Shift and 4 keys
If you immediately hit the Spacebar after that, a camera appears that allows you to take a screen shot of any open window.

Mac OS X Leopard:

Select the area that you want to take a screen shot of. Press and hold the Command, Shift, and 4 keys.
You can then use:
*Space - which locks the size of the selected area
*Shift - which you can use to resize from one edge of the selected area
*Option - which you can use to resize the selected area from the center

Mac OS X Lion:

Lion allows you to get screen shots from Preview
1) Launch Preview
2) Under the “File” menu, click on “Take Screen Shot," there are then three options:
*Selection – functions like command+shift+4 on earlier OS
*Window – functions like command+shift+4+space on earlier OS
*Entire Screen – captures the entire screen, functions like command+shift+3 on earlier OS


Windows XP/Vista/7:

To copy the entire screen just press the "Print Screen" key

To copy only the open window, click on the window and then press and hold the ALT key and the Print Screen Key.

If you want to save it in in a word file, open the file and then paste the image by pressing "Control" key and "V" key at the same time.

Resolving a Missing Answer on a Quiz

Follow these steps if after you have already activated a quiz and it has been taken by students, you realize that you left an answer blank so students are getting marked off for the correct answer:

(1) First you'll want to go in and enter the correct answer in the quiz itself so any future quiz takers won't get marked off for choosing the right answer.

(2) Then after you do that, you'll have to go back into grade quiz (the ruler with the green check mark) to give points for the correct answers for that question.

(3) Then click on "attempt 1" for all of the users that already took the quiz and were marked off for choosing the correct answer. You'll see that D2L shows, in red text, "Note: This question is an old version as it was modified after the quiz was taken." for each student that has already taken it.

(4) Under that, you'll see next to the score box that it says "not autograded: a default value of 0 was assigned." You can just change that to 1 (or however much the question was worth) and then save. They now have gotten credit for the answer.

This can be used if you have multiple additional submission views that you want to have displayed based on the student's attempt number

(2) Go down to "View Restrictions" and select the attempt that you want this submission view to show up for students

(NB: If you use the default zeros, D2L assumes that those submission views won't apply to anybody because they have zeros for min and max scores).

(4) Save! and you should be all set.
