Role School Support now visible within the classlist
Users with the role School support are now visible within the classlist under the tab All. This gives lectures a complete overview of all users involved in the course.
Calender - View quiz start and quiz end dates as separate events
When an instructor adds a Start Date and End Date in Quizzes and then selects Add Availability Dates to Calendar, both dates are displayed in the Calendar tool as separate events. Previously, only one event displayed showing when the availability of that quiz ended.
Announcements – Copy announcements to other courses in published state
As of this release, users with proper role permissions can publish copied announcements in other courses using either the Announcements tool or widget. This is done by selecting the Copy to Other Courses option from the announcement's context menu. In the Copy Announcement window, there is a new check box option labeled Publish Announcement on Copy. When this box is selected, the announcement is directly published in the destination course or courses, skipping the draft stage. If the check box is not selected, the announcement copies as a draft into the destination course or courses.
Previously, copied announcements appeared in draft form and required publishing in the destination course to complete the process.
Assignments – Interface improvements for annotations
D2L is updating the Annotations tool in Assignments to be a web component. As a result, the user interface for the annotations viewer is improved to include the following changes:
- Error state includes updated dialog language.
- Document conversion state now has in-page messaging and a loading icon. Previously, there was a dialog displaying the messaging.
- General loading state now has a loading icon. Previously, there was no loading icon.
- Note annotations and their print format show annotations instead of just the annotations icon.
Quizzes – Better identify bonus questions in a quiz
Quizzes now clearly mark bonus questions with Bonus, improving learner understanding and addressing a previous lack of indication in Quizzes.
