Release 112

Overview

In Release 112, we’ve made several improvements and are laying the groundwork for the introduction of a new Compose library. This update enables the addition of assignments to both courses and programs, which enhances flexibility and functionality for learners and instructors alike.

Additionally, we are developing a new Home page for learners with widgets like "My Recent Courses," "Calendar," and "Assignments." It will be available in future releases.

Improvements and fixes

Improvements

We've implemended these improvements:

• Updated the wording for creating and editing class splits for better clarity:
  • Step 1: “Add Class Split Properties” (for creation) or “Edit Class Split Properties” (for editing).
  • Step 2: “Assign Learners to Mini-Groups in This Class Split.”
  • Step 3: “Select Collaborative Activities for This Class Split.”
• Provided a list of group members in the LTI request for collaborative activities.
• Completed several backend tasks to support the Compose library, which will allow authors to start creating new assignments in next releases.
• Enhanced the Activity widget for authors to display all details, which enables authors to preview how the activity will appear to learners within a course or program.
• Introduced a method to control which widgets are enabled on the Home page dashboards for each tenant.

Fixes

We've made the following fixes:

• Fixed an issue where bundle packages were purchased but not enabled.
• Fixed an issue with the Discussion library not displaying even after the license was enabled.
• Adjusted behavior for activities submitted for grading: if only one attempt is allowed and the activity is not finished, it can be opened for review while in the In grading state. If multiple attempts are allowed, the last attempt cannot be reviewed unless it is graded.
• Resolved an issue where outdated secrets were preventing platform access for some users.
• Activities can no longer be continued if the "Accessible until" date has passed.
• Added a message indicating that parent composition codes exceeding 20 characters prevent the generation of a sub-composition code.
• Corrected the behavior of the "Next" button in the course player to ensure it consistently opens the next module with one click.
• Hid duplicate "Send feedback" buttons when opening LTI activities.
• Enabled instructors to change an activity from collaborative to non-collaborative, even after some learners have started it collaboratively.
