Consistent Save and Cancel options in Settings page

To improve usability and consistency, Save and Cancel actions across some assessment settings have been standardised. This enhancement includes the following updates:

  • Timer settings: Removed the X icon and added Save and Cancel buttons.
  • Turnitin Originality Report settings: Removed the X icon and added Save and Cancel buttons. SafeAssign settings remain unchanged.

Improved student experience with fill in the blank question type

The student experience has been enhanced when answering fill in the blank questions in tests. Fill in the blank questions now display the blanks inline with the surrounding text, whether the question is presented as a sentence, paragraph, or table. Hidden ARIA labels to blanks have also been added in an effort to improve screen reader accessibility.
