Highlights for this release include:
Add exceptions for anonymously graded assessments
Now instructors can grant student exemptions for anonymously graded assessments. These exceptions may include the following:
- Granting additional attempts
- Rescheduling submission deadlines
- Allowing extended access
Instructors can access the exceptions options for all assessments from the Student Overview page in the gradebook.
Resizing media
In the past, users would have to size media before uploading it in the course. Now media items have handles in each corner that give users an easy way to control the size of the included media. Users can resize the media by dragging a corner handle and via keyboard navigation. Media types available for resizing include images, videos, and media inserted via URL.
This enhancement provides users with a seamless and intuitive way to resize media.
