New search functionality to locate units, lessons and pages
Users can now search through the table of contents. Using the new search field in the table of contents, users can locate units, lessons and pages via their titles and descriptions. This feature does not search within the content pages itself but only in the title and descriptions from units, lessons and pages.
New Role Lecturer C
A new role has been created: Lecturer C. The role is identical to Lecturer B but differs in the way that this role is not automatically enrolled into all the sections of a course. You need do this manually. For more information about roles read this article.
New version of the Pulse Mobile App
A new version of the Pulse Mobile App is available for Saxion by January 9th. The older version had a known issue where users had to login every time again when opening a new content item. They were all the time directed to the login screen of Saxion. In the newer version this problem is fixed by working with an external mobile web browser.
Brightspace Editor – Path detection warning and configuration variable
A warning now appears when a user attempts to add an object (such as a link or image) in Brightspace Editor that has a path outside of the current course offering. The warning tooltip explains that if the item is copied to another course, the incorrect path would also be copied, potentially preventing learners from accessing the object.
This new warning alerts the content creator to ensure a consistent experience for learners.
New Content Experience – HTML Document renamed to Page
To simplify terminology and make clearer the type of content being created, the HTML Document content type is renamed to Page in the New Content Experience. This change of terminology is used on the Create New page and is applied to all courses using the New Content Experience (Lessons).
Groups – Restore groups and categories
A new Recycle Bin option is available in the Groups tool, enabling you to restore individual group units or entire categories within a course offering. When you restore groups, existing enrollments and lockers are also reinstated (if present). Any activities linked to the restored groups, such as discussions or assignments, can then be individually restored through their respective restore pages.
