grade items not in the correct categories when I copy them to a new course

Q: Why aren’t the grade items in the correct categories when I copy them to a new course?
A: https://d2l.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1390/

Issue: In the Copy Course Components tool, if you select individual grade items rather than copying ALL grade items, the grade items do not stay associated with the correct categories. (This issue exists in the current version 10.1 SP9)
Workaround: In the Copy Course Components tool, copy all grade items into the new course and then simply remove the ones you don’t want from the new course.
Note: This issue only exists for Copy Course Components. If you export selected grade items, the grade category associations are retained accurately.

your q/s, our answers: embed video in D2L

 

Qustion: Can I embed video into D2L discussion posts (ie. a youtube video)? questions and answers

Answer:

When trying to embed video into a D2L discussion, it breaks with a 500 error.
upon examination of the embed code, the protocol is missing from the source.

example:
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/xtNhf0eA120?rel=0″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>  Note the src=”//www…..

SOLUTION: In order to successfully embed a video you’ll need to alter that bit of code to be http://www&#8230;..  or https://www&#8230;.
Reported  this to the MnSCU D2L team, as the embed preview works.

alternatives to MERLOT (a repository for learning objects)

I was asked for alternative sites to MERLOT (http://www.merlot.org/merlot/index.htm) after I shared my dissatisfaction with MERLOT high prices, e.g., cost for registration.

Here is what I have, pls feel free to add more, Plamen

I looked for somebody to work with me on Sophia when it started in 2012 (since, differently from Merlot, it is a social tool), but there was no interest on campus:
