Hello everyone, I am in need of converting question banks into item banks. I used to create classic quizzes, migrate them, and export them and then reimport them as item banks. However, the classic quizzes function has been disabled at my university and I am unable to create classic quizzes and migrate them any longer. Is…
I have chapter discussions in each module for my Statistics class. They are graded with Checkpoints: the Reply to Topic is worth 3 points and the one Additional Reply is worth 2 points, for a total of 5 points. But when I look in the Assignments list, the assignment is marked as 0 points. Students getting full credit have…
I have a professor who would like to use questions from multiple sources to create a new assessment. Is there a way to sample question groups and then save the result and sample from it? We have used the question group feature successfully, but need to be able to save and sample the result. I thought there might be a way…
We just discovered that we (IDs, Learners, and Faculty) are all unable to view images within any course if they are using the Safari web browser.

As the title, course image is not loading. It is irritating some teachers. Anyone know of a fix?
Originally the course copy interface had all content selected by default and it was awful. Faculty would accidentally not change it to select content and get a full course copy at the worst times. At some point it was changed, so neither all/pick items were selected by default. The recent interface change again reverted…
Currently all of the students' state or diagnostic test results are located on several different platforms that the students don't have access to. I have a secondary principal who is wanting her students to take ownership of their test results and has asked if there is a way for them to access the data, so I am trying to…
Dear community, A student of mine made a lot of assignments before the summer holidays. After the summer holidays upon logging in he told me he lost a lot of the made content in those assignments and it was no longer visible. Is this possible? For example due to an update? Is there any way to view what he made last year?…
This is a new issue that I first noticed on Friday. Several of my assignments, mostly quizzes, are not populating in the Gradebook. This is a huge inconvenience, as I have had to hand calculate the grades for almost 200 students. Anyone else having this problem? I'm posting a picture of the assignment and then I'm posting…
