June 2026 Release
This post provides a information on the upcoming changes coming to Learn. This release is subject to change and we will do our best to keep the information up to date before the release to live on the evening of Thursday the 4th of June 2026.
Improved rubric usability when adding or adjusting grades
Instructors can override grades without locking the rubric as well as provide feedback at the criterion-level for single or multiple attempts. Grades entered in the rubric grade pill update the attempt grade immediately.
For discussions and journals, grades now save at the attempt-level. The override workflow has been removed in these areas for a more consistent grading experience.
To improve consistency with the Flexible Grading area, the rubric score box label has been changed from “Submission” to “Rubric Score”. The sentence “You can only override the final grade for assessments with multiple attempts. Individual submissions are scored with a rubric.” has also been removed from underneath the rubric score box.
Track Announcement engagement by student
Instructors can now check which announcements a student has read or not read on the new Announcements tab of the Student Overview page. The Announcements tab complements existing announcement engagement data by adding a student-level view and helps instructors if it is needed to identify students who may have missed important course communications.
On the Student Overview page, instructors select the Announcements tab for a list of which announcements each student has and has not read.

Known Issues
There are currently no know issues fix with this release. However we will update if any get confirmed before this release to live.
