As the summer continues on, there are several updates to Brightspace this month including updates to icons, Lumi Pro, and more. Below are some highlights of what to expect when the June update comes out later this week.
- Brightspace – Rubric Icon in Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes
- D2L Lumi Remix – Review in full-screen mode
- D2L Lumi Remix – Review side-by-side in split view
- D2L Lumi Study Support – Study Support settings included during course copy
Brightspace – Rubric Icon in Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes
Instructors can now identify which Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes include attached rubrics directly from activity pages, helping instructors and administrators quickly audit assessments, confirm rubric setup, and reduce configuration errors.
When a rubric is attached to an activity, a rubric icon appears beside the item in the Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes list pages. Written response questions in the Quiz Creation page also display a rubric indicator when a rubric is attached. Activities that include both rubrics and learning outcomes continue to display the rubric icon.

The rubric icon is informational only and does not link to the rubric, consistent with other informational icons such as release conditions and anonymous marking.
D2L Lumi Remix – Review in full-screen mode
A new full-screen option is available in . Users can now click View Fullscreen in the upper-right corner of the Modify Page Content With AI window to expand the review pane to full-screen mode. Iteration controls remain available and functional in full-screen mode.
In full-screen mode, an Exit Fullscreen option appears in the upper-right corner, allowing users to return to the standard Remix view at the same iteration. Previously, users could review changes only in the right pane.

D2L Lumi Remix – Review side-by-side in split view
Users can now review changes in using a split view. In full screen mode, users can click Compare in Split View to compare iterations side-by-side. Previously, users reviewed iterations individually and could not compare them side-by-side.
In split view, the source iteration appears on the left and the current iteration appears on the right so users can compare versions simultaneously. This workflow makes reviewing changes easier without switching between iterations. Users can click Return to Single View to return to the single-pane review.

D2L Lumi Study Support – Study Support settings included during course copy
With this update, quiz configurations are included in course copy workflows. When a course is copied, quizzes with Study Support enabled retain their Study Support configuration in the destination course. This update reduces manual setup and helps administrators and instructors scale adaptive learning experiences across multiple courses.
Previously, quizzes copied to another course did not retain Lumi Study Support settings. Administrators and instructors had to manually re-enable Study Support for each quiz in the destination course.
