MyCourses
Chat Tool End of Life
D2L will disable the MyCourses Chat Tool in January 2024.
“Online communication has evolved over time and has been replaced by instant messaging on mobile devices. Even AOL closed its chat rooms in 2010! Use of our chat tool has been declining over the years, and this decision allows us to simplify our platform by reducing confusion around tools that do similar things.” – D2L
IT recommends the Instant Messages tool or the Microsoft Course Connector as an alternative to the Chat Tool.
Brightspace Editor – Users can set the Text Direction attribute for the entire page
This feature allows instructors, when creating Content or Widgets, to set the directionality for all text on a page when using the Attributes menu in Brightspace Editor. The Text Direction attribute can be applied to the entire page by navigating to Attributes > Page Attributes and selecting the desired text direction. The attribute can have text be Default, Left to Right or Right to Left.
Previously it was only possible to set the text direction attribute on Selected Items.
