May 2023 Updates

Question Banks – Reuse Questions option
Now instructors can copy questions between Question Banks. They can also copy questions from existing assessments.

Add Exemptions via the gradebook grid view
Instructors can access the option to exempt students from the gradebook grid view.

Rubrics improvements
Instructors can now show or hide descriptions and can collapse or display their feedback.

Send Messages from the Submission page
During an assessment, instructors may need to communicate with students. Now instructors can message students from the submissions page. When an instructor sends a message to multiple people, the recipients will be on BCC (Blind Carbon Copy).

Remove category assignment requirement when editing LTI items via the gradebook

Now instructors can edit gradebook columns for LTI-based activities without assigning them to a category.

Hotspot question zoom in / out
Zoom in/out and full-screen view features have now been added to hotspot questions.

Drag and drop desktop folders to upload to the Course Content page
Instructors may drag and drop a folder from their computer to the course content page. If an instructor drags and drops more than 25 files at the same time, a warning message appears. This message does not restrict the upload, but it informs the user that it may take a few minutes to complete.

Instructor’s Notes on Student Overview
There is now a ‘notes’ tab in the Student Overview page which allows instructors to take notes about students in each course. These notes are private and can only be accessed by instructors and administrators. Notes by other instructors in the same course can also be viewed.
