Assignments
We refined the Assignments Submissions page by improving the layout in both standard and wide views, reducing the need for horizontal scrolling, and creating a cleaner, more consistent experience. All recent accessibility improvements remain in place.
This change improves the visibility of key information, such as submission dates and learner names, making the page easier to review.
Previously, the page layout with a long file could make it difficult to view key information without scrolling, especially when additional columns, such as Turnitin Similarity Report, were enabled.
Grades
Following the release of automatic zero grading, the Completion Status column in Grades, which displays the status of connected activities for grade items, was temporarily disabled. Based on client feedback and subsequent investigation:
- The Completion Status column is now end-of-life (EOL)
- The overdue feedback text is tied to enabling automatic zero within a course.
- The overdue feedback text will appear in the Comments & Assessments column on the learner's view of Grades, can be customized via the existing lang term Grades.UserMain.txtOverdueComment, and is no longer tied to the Completion Status column.
The feature supports a limited set of activity types (Assignments, Quizzes and Discussions) to ensure accuracy and prevent recurrence of previous issues.
This change provides a more predictable and trustworthy experience for identifying overdue work.
Quizzes
This update improves the consistency and usability of the Import options in Browse Question Library.
Available import options vary depending on whether the quiz contains sections:
- The main Import action remains a button for quizzes with no sections.
- The Import to Section option is now a separate button for quizzes with sections.
This change makes actions more visible and easier to access. Previously, the Import option appeared as a split button with multiple actions in a dropdown.
