Helpful Not Helpful
Question

In D2L Brightspace, how do I delete a vantage assignment that I have grade synced in my LMS?

 



Solution

When adding vantage content to your D2L Brightspace course, you can choose to grade sync Knowledge Checks, Data and Video Activities, Critical Thinking Checks, and Chapter Tests. If you   need to delete a grade synced assignment from your D2L course at a later time for any reason, you must first break the grade sync connection between your D2L assignment and the external tool used to add the vantage assignment(s).

Breaking the connection is a manual process. You will need to do it for each assignment you want to delete. These instructions will walk you through the steps to delete a grade synced vantage assignment.

 

1.      In your D2L Brightspace course, go to the Content area in the top navigation bar.

In you D2L course, the Content tab is found in the top navigation bar.

2.      Go into the module where your assignment is located, then click on the assignment you want to delete. In this example, we want to remove Knowledge Check 5.1.

Note: When you click the assignment, it will launch the student preview in vantage for that assignment. You can close the student preview window.

In a content module, click on the vantage assignment you want to delete. In this example, we click on Knowledge Check 5.1.

3.      After you click on the assignment, you will see the Activity Details page in D2L. Under the Assessment section, click Add a grade item which will open up a dropdown menu.

After you click on the assignment, you will be taken to its Activity Details page. On the bottom right of this page under the Assessment section, click "Add a grade item" to open a dropdown menu.

4.      Set the dropdown to No Grade, then click the Save button.

Under the Assessment section, choose "No Grade" from the dropdown menu.

5.      In the top navigation bar, go to Grades to open the gradebook.

In your D2L course, the Grades tab is available in the top navigation menu bar.

6.      Go to Manage Grades.

Once you open the Grades tab in your D2L course, you can choose the Manage Grades tab to get to edit options for gradebook items.

7.      Click More Actions to open the dropdown menu. Choose Delete.

From the Manage Grades page, click the "More Actions" button to open a dropdown menu. On this dropdown menu, choose Delete.

8.      On the "Delete Grade Items and Categories" page, tick the checkbox next to the assignment you want to delete. Continuing with our example, we have checked the box next to Knowledge Check 5.1. Click the Delete button.

On the "Delete Grade Items and Categories" page, tick the checkbox next to the assignment you want to delete. Once you make your selection, click the Delete button.

9.      A confirmation box will open. Click the Delete button to confirm.

After you click the Delete button, a confirmation window appears. This window offers a warning about deleting items and to make sure you have selected the right item to delete. Click the Delete button on this window to complete the deletion process.

10.  You will be returned to the Manage Grades page. The item you deleted will no longer appear in the gradebook.

After you delete the assignment, it will no longer appear in the gradebook. This image shows that Knowledge Check 5.1 no longer appears in the gradebook items list.

11.  Once you've removed the item from the gradebook, you can go back to the content module to delete the topic. Next to the assignment's name, click to open the context menu. Choose Delete Topic.

After you delete the assignment from the gradebook, you can go back to the content module to delete the link to the item. Next to the assignment's name, you can click the button to open the context menu for that assignment. Choose "Delete Topic" to remove the link for the assignment.

12.  A confirmation box will open. Click the Delete button to confirm.

After you choose to delete the topic, you will see a window asking you to choose a method of deletion: 1. Remove the topic from Content but keep the associated file or activity in the course. 2. Permanently delete both the topic from Content and the associated file or activity from the course. The default is to remove the topic, but keep the associated file. Once you decide, click the Delete button to remove the topic.

 

After following these steps, the vantage assignment will be completely removed from your D2L course. If you decide to add the assignment back to your D2L course, you can deep link and grade sync this assignment again using the vantage content picker.
