Assignments

The Submissions page in the Assignments tool now aligns with Discussions and Quizzes, allowing instructors to retract feedback in bulk. This enhancement improves consistency and eliminates the need to use multiple tools for retraction tasks.

The bulk Retract Feedback option allows instructors to choose how many learners to retract published feedback from.

Selective retraction is also supported. Instructors can select users by checking the box next to their names and clicking More Actions > Retract Feedback.

The More Actions > Retract All option retracts feedback for all users, regardless of which users are selected.

Previously, instructors could only retract feedback individually in the Assignments tool.

Groups

Instructors can now export group enrollment data from the Groups tool to support easier attendance tracking, group-specific class lists, and contact list creation.

A new Export button now appears in the Groups tool for users with the Manage Groups and Categories permission. Instructors can use this button to export group data to a CSV file. The exported content includes:

• Group category details
• Group names
• User enrollment information
• Enrollment dates

You can choose a specific group or all groups within a selected category to include in the export.

Previously, there was no built-in method to export group data or user enrollment dates from the Groups tool.

Grades

This new feature allows learners to quickly access quiz attempt feedback from the Grades page.

Previously, learners could view quiz attempt feedback only in the Quizzes tool, depending on how the instructor configured the review process. This option remains available.

Pulse

Pulse now displays recurring events from the Events tab. This ensures that any recurring events an instructor creates using the Calendar tool are properly displayed in Pulse. Previously, recurring events did not display in Pulse.

Quick Eval

This release enables instructors to quickly iterate through their list of submissions in Quick Eval, even if those submissions are sourced from different activity types or courses. For example, an instructor has activities to grade in Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes and has been assigned items that appear in Quick Eval Submissions. The instructor directly accesses each submission to evaluate the items instead of navigating back to Quick Eval and going into each item again.

Previously, instructors had to click into each submission to view the evaluation, click Back to Quick Eval to go to the Submissions view, and then find the next submission to evaluate. With this release,  instructors are redirected to the next evaluation as listed in the Quick Eval.

Quizzes

The quiz submission page now features a sleeker, modernized layout. The previous banner image has been replaced with a checkmark icon, along with other visual updates.
