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<p>Our Continuous Delivery update occurs on the 4th Thursday of each month. D2L provides <a href=\"https:\/\/community.brightspace.com\/s\/article\/All-Release-Notes\">release notes<\/a> to help users stay up-to-date with the changes.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few updates in the June 2019\/20.19.6 release that were added to our system this month:<\/p>\n<div>\n<h4>1) Discussions - Save feedback in draft state when associated with rubrics<\/h4>\n<p>This feature provides instructors the option to save feedback as a draft on discussions associated with rubrics before publishing it to learners. Now, when instructors add feedback for discussions with rubrics, the <strong>Save Draft<\/strong> and <strong>Publish<\/strong> buttons display. This feature extends existing Save Draft and Publish options available in other assessment tools to discussions that are only associated with a rubric.<\/p>\n<p>Note that if a discussion topic is associated with more than one rubric, then both the rubrics are now visible in the same pop-up dialogue. Previously, the rubrics had to be opened individually to complete evaluation.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>2) Quick Eval \u2013 Improvements to Quick Eval list<\/h4>\n<p>To improve the Quick Eval experience, the following updates are now available:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A Draft icon displays in Quick Eval for discussion posts that have feedback in draft status<\/li>\n<li>Evaluators only see discussion posts and quiz attempts from learners in sections they are enrolled in. This matches the behavior of assignment submissions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>3) Quizzes - Arithmetic and significant figures questions round up from .5<\/h4>\n<p>Arithmetic and Significant Figures questions in quizzes now round up from .5 by default. Previously these types of questions were rounded down from .5.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>4) Rubrics - Consistent assessment experience for Discussions<\/h4>\n<p>When instructors use the updated rubrics grading experience with Discussions, the following workflows present the same assessment experience:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>if a rubric is attached to a discussion that is not associated with a grade item<\/li>\n<li>if a rubric is attached to a discussion and associated with a grade item, but the instructor clicks on the rubric name to assess instead of topic score<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In these workflows, the same assessment screen displays, with the details, score, feedback, post information, and all rubrics available to grade.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If you are interested in getting more information about these and all the June Continuous Delivery updates, refer to the <a href=\"https:\/\/community.brightspace.com\/s\/article\/Brightspace-Platform-June-2019-20-19-6-Preview-Release-Notes-686205308\">Brightspace Platform June 2019\/20.19.6 Release Notes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, refer to the <a href=\"https:\/\/community.brightspace.com\/s\/article\/All-Release-Notes\">Brightspace Release Notes for Continuous Delivery Releases<\/a>, for details about current, past, and to preview upcoming continuous delivery updates.<\/p>\n<h3>Want more information?<\/h3>\n<p>View current, past, and preview upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/community.brightspace.com\/s\/article\/All-Release-Notes\">Continuous Delivery release notes<\/a><br \/>\nView all the <a href=\"https:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/?s=Brightspace+%2Brecap\">Brightspace training recaps<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/catwiki.xula.edu\/index.php\/Brightspace_Known_Issues\">Brightspace Known Issues<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/brightspace-tip-2-sandbox-courses\/\">Request a sandbox course<\/a><br \/>\nSign-up for <a href=\"https:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/events\/\">Brightspace training sessions<\/a><br \/>\nYou can find <a href=\"https:\/\/documentation.brightspace.com\/EN\/-\/-\/-\/welcome_page.htm\">Brightspace help<\/a> at D2L's website.<br \/>\nJoin the <a href=\"https:\/\/community.brightspace.com\/\">Brightspace Community<\/a>.<br \/>\nTry these <a title=\"Brightspace How-to\" href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/brightspace-documents\/\">Brightspace How-To documents<\/a>.<br \/>\nVisit our <a title=\"Brightspace FAQs\" href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/brightspace-faq\/\">Brightspace FAQs<\/a> for additional Brightspace information<br \/>\nor <a title=\"Schedule 1-on-1\" href=\"http:\/\/jflorent.youcanbook.me\/\">schedule a one-on-one session<\/a>, <a title=\"Send email\" href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/mail\/?to=31\">email<\/a>, or <br \/>call Janice Florent: (504) 520-7418.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note: Are you doing something innovative in Brightspace or perhaps you've discovered a handy tip?
