\n\"update\"<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

D2L (the company that owns Brightspace) uses Continuous Delivery to update our Brightspace system. The Continuous Delivery model gives us regular monthly updates allowing for incremental and easily integrated changes with no downtime required for our Brightspace system. <\/p>\n

Our Continuous Delivery update occurs on the 4th Thursday of each month. D2L provides release notes<\/a> to help users stay up-to-date with the changes.<\/p>\n

Here are a few updates in the April 2019\/20.19.4 release that were added to our system this month:<\/p>\n

\n

1) Activity Feed \u2013 Learners can create posts<\/h4>\n

Learners can now create Activity Feed posts on a course homepage. Previously, learners were only able to comment on posts created by their instructors. A new posting option in the Manage commenting and posting widget dialog allows instructors to enable or disable learners from posting in their course feed.<\/p>\n

\n

2) Activity Feed \u2013 Visual enhancements updated<\/h4>\n

As part of the Learners can create posts update, user profile images<\/a> now display beside each post to provide a visual representation of the contributor. Previously, a message or assignment icon displayed to indicate the type of post. Also, inline feed updates now alert users that new posts have been added to Activity Feed since arriving on the course homepage.<\/p>\n

3) Assignments \u2013 Notification improvements<\/h4>\n

When instructors evaluate assignments and new or updated feedback is published, email instant notifications are available for learners.\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

4) QuickLinks - Create Quicklink to Rubrics<\/h4>\n

Users can now create Quicklinks directly to Rubrics. In addition, users can also access Manage Rubrics at the bottom of the Quicklinks menu.<\/p>\n

ICYMI, here's a link to my previous blog post which has more information about quicklinks: Brightspace Tip #54: Quicklinks<\/a>.\n<\/div>\n
