Bulk change question points in tests

Instructors can now efficiently update point values for multiple questions in tests using new bulk editing options. This enhancement supports:

  • Selecting all questions at once, with the option to deselect specific questions if desired.
  • Selecting specific questions (e.g., question 1, 4, 9, 15, 16, 27, and 32) for targeted point value adjustments.
  • Selecting questions by type (e.g., all True/False questions) to apply consistent point value changes across that question type.
  • Selecting questions by type AND specific questions.

For Instructors, after students open the assessment or make submissions, these changes can be made:

  • Edit the text of questions and answers
  • Edit the point value
  • New grades are recalculated for all previously submitted assessments
  • Give everyone full credit for a question
  • Change which answers are correct
  • Change the scoring options for Multiple Choice and Matching questions
  • Align questions with goals, from the assessment only

After students open the assessment, instructors can’t make these changes:

  • Add new questions and answers
  • Delete a question
  • Delete answers in Matching and Multiple Choice questions
  • Change the number of blanks in a Fill in the Blanks question
  • Move the content, such as switch the order of questions, answers, or additional content
  • Add or remove questions from a question pool or delete a pool from an assessment

Choose whether to include hidden items in Gradebook downloads

Instructors now have more flexibility when downloading the gradebook for offline use. Previously, downloads included only the columns visible to instructors. With this update, instructors can choose whether to include hidden items in the download file.

A new Include Hidden Items option appears when selecting Full Gradebook in Download Options. When selected, the download will contain all gradebook columns, including those hidden from instructor view.

Quick Enrol – coming soon

Quick Enrol will be coming to Learn in the not too distant future. We understand there will be appetite for this feature, so with that in mind the service will be carrying out testing to ensure correct functionality, while good practice guidance will also be created to help support the community for when this feature is released.

Known Issues

This release will also resolve a known issue related to email copies not sending to recipients of group messages. The issue was that when the “Send an email copy to recipients” option is enabled for group messages, students in the groups do not receive the email, however, this release will now correct that.
