[Athen] Headings in D2L

[Preast, Vanessa]

Hello,

We use the D2L/Brightspace learning management system. I'd like to be able to advise course builders on what headings to use. I'm thinking that it might be best to advise that they use Heading 2 as the highest level option so that there are not more than one H1 per page when it renders.  Thoughts?

This is what is happening in the system when I create heading 1-5 in the edit box in two different locations in the system.

In the example below, I entered each of the headings into the edit box for a module description. It looks like D2L uses <h1> for the page title (e.g. "PowerPoint" in the example below).

<h1>(Missing heading)
<h2>Navigation
<h3>Site Menu
<h2>Are You Still There?
<h2>Oh, There You Are!
<h2>Bookmarks
<h2>0 bookmarked topics
<h2>Course Schedule
<h2>0 upcoming events
<h2>Table of Contents
<h1>PowerPoint
<h1>Heading 1
<h2>Heading 2
<h3>Heading 3
<h4>Heading 4
<h5>Heading 5
<h2>List of Topics and Sub-Modules for PowerPoint

When I make a page and display the content in student view, I get a document structure in which the contents of the edit box seem to be separate (a frame?) from the rest.
<h2>Are You Still There?
<h2>Oh, There You Are!
<h2>Side Panel
<h2>Breadcrumb:
<h1>Title
<h2>Web Page

5 headings
<h1>Heading 1
<h2>Heading 2
<h3>Heading 3
<h4>Heading 4
<h5>Heading 5
