I just spoke with a student who installed the new MacOS 27 Golden Gate. It included a Safari update and she could access every other tab except the CONTENT one. It was like this in 2 of her classes. If this happens to anyone else, she got it working through Chrome, but has anyone else run into this issue?Mon, 12 Oct 2026 17:52:54 GMTJane.O.1385Vendorshttps://community.d2l.com/brightspace/discussion/9344/monthly-brightspace-guided-training-webinarshttps://community.d2l.com/brightspace/discussion/9344/monthly-brightspace-guided-training-webinarsAll customers have the opportunity to attend monthly Brightspace Guided Training Webinars and get their questions answered with the help of the D2L Training Team.Fri, 09 Oct 2026 15:24:46 GMTjohn.w.7422Vendorshttps://community.d2l.com/brightspace/discussion/9343/modifying-final-grade-with-attendnacehttps://community.d2l.com/brightspace/discussion/9343/modifying-final-grade-with-attendnaceBecause one of the courses I teach is highly participatory, the course policy is that a student's final grade is deducted by 6.667% for each unexecused absence beyond 3.
