Unlink and Delete a Bulb from D2L

PlayPosit Bulbs need to be unlinked from PlayPosit before they are deleted from the D2L course site. This will break the External Learning Tool association and allow you to delete the D2L grade item associated with the bulb. Learn more about unlinking bulbs: PlayPosit Knowledge Base How to Unlink/Relink Bulbs in an LMS (opens in a new tab).

Step 1

In a D2L course, navigate to the Content module where the Bulb is linked and select the link to the Bulb.

Step 2

Select Enter PlayPosit from the instructor view of the bulb that appears.

Step 3

Select the D2L icon (Unlink Bulb) next to the name of the Bulb to unlink the Bulb from D2L.

Step 4

Select the Unlink button in the pop up that appears. Optional: select Download Data to download a spreadsheet of any student responses associated with the bulb.

Step 5

Return to the D2L Content module where the Bulb was linked and select the Actions Menu icon next to the Bulb link. Select Delete Topic from the menu options.

Step 6

From the window that appears, choose the option Permanently delete both the topic from Content and the associated file or activity from the course. This option removes the Bulb from the course, but the Bulb will still exist in your PlayPosit account.

Step 7

Select the Delete button to complete the action.

Step 8

Navigate to the D2L Gradebook and delete the grade item. Learn more about deleting grade items at Organize and Manage Gradebook: Delete Grade Items.
