Join Us for BOLT Workshops

Join our sessions to prep for ending the Fall and stepping into the Winter and Spring semesters. We are offering face to face AND online sessions!

Do you want to know more about Quiz Security and tools like Respondus LockDown Browser & Monitor? Would you like more information on the online proctoring tool Examity? We are offering a session on making your online quizzes secure on Monday, November 28, 2016 (online session Tuesday, November 29, 2016).

When students tell you they tried to take a quiz the day before your deadline, do you wonder if they really did? Would you like to find out how you can use BOLT to verify what they are telling you? If you would like to find out more about Tracking Student Progress in BOLT, join us on Wednesday, November 30, 2016 (online session December 1, 2016).

If you JUST HAVE QUESTIONS, join us for a session to ask them and get answers. Do you use TurningPoint Cloud and are worried about syncing grades or other Turning topics? Do you want to know more about how to release final grades in BOLT? Are there other end of semester or semester start questions you have? Join us for I Just Have Questions - TurningPoint Cloud, Export Grades, End of Semester, oh my! on Friday, December 2, 2016 for an all-inclusive session to get answers!

Are You Using Graded Discussions?

D2L has identified a bug where feedback entered in rubrics via the Discussions tool is not being displayed to students in Grades.

 

But there is good news: there are two workarounds so students can see the feedback you are providing them in rubrics.

 

To find out more, please follow the jump cut.

Updates to Class Progress

New features have been added to the Class Progress tool in BOLT. See when students accessed the course or downloaded content.


You are now able to see when students have accessed your course.


To see this, go to Course Resources, select Class Progress, and click on a student. On the left side of the page, click on Course Access. This will load a page displaying when the student logged into your course.

You are also able to see when students have downloaded content topics.


To see this in Class Progress, click on Content on the left side of the page. This will load a page displaying the student’s progress in the Content tool of the course.


Modules that have been downloaded will be tagged as "Downloaded".


Expand modules to see student progress in their content topics by clicking on the “# Topics, # Modules” link.

Once you can see all the topics, any topics students have downloaded will be tagged as “Downloaded”. (Note that the tool may still say the student “Never visited” the content topic, even if the student has downloaded it for offline viewing.)
