\"update\"<\/a><\/div>\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 December 2019\/20.19.12 release that were added to our system this month:<\/p>\n

\n

1) Assignments \u2013 File size information in submission receipt email<\/h4>\n

File size information now displays next to the file name in the submission receipt email sent to learners upon making a submission to an assignment submission folder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2) Assignments \u2013 Submission ID displays for Learners<\/h4>\n

A new column that displays Submission ID information is visible to learners on the View Feedback page in Assignments.<\/p>\n

\"Submission<\/a>
Submission ID visible to learners when reviewing Submission Feedback information<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n

3) Content \u2013 Sort order changes in Upload \/ Create menu<\/h4>\n

When using the Upload \/ Create<\/strong> menu to add activities to Content, the placement of the New Assignment<\/strong> option has moved. Previously, it appeared between New Discussion<\/strong> and New Quiz<\/strong>. Now, New Assignment<\/strong> appears above New Checklist<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Updated<\/a>
\nUpdated sort order of the Upload \/ Create menu<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

4) Grades - Synchronization with Assignments and Discussions via API and import options<\/h4>\n

Grades are now fully synchronized in the Assignments and Discussions tools when grades are added to Brightspace via the existing Import as CSV, Import as Excel, and API entry options. This change builds upon recent grades synchronization updates for Assignments and Discussions.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> Synchronization only occurs for new grade entries. Existing grade data for assignment submissions and discussions will not automatically be migrated because of the high impact to all past data and reports.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

5) Release Conditions \u2013 Learners are notified when a release condition triggers new content<\/h4>\n

In a course that uses release conditions to unlock additional content, learners previously were not informed when new content became available as a result of a release condition that was satisfied. Because there was no automatic notification or refresh of the table of contents, there was the potential for frustration when learners think they are done a module, and are later informed that there are steps left to be completed.<\/p>\n

Now, when release conditions are satisfied, the learner is notified using a pop-up (\"toast\") message that there are new items available in the course.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

6) Release Conditions \u2013 Updated ordering of Tools<\/h4>\n

When adding Release Conditions to activities or content, the View Conditions for, and Condition Type menus now display tools in an updated order.<\/p>\n

\"When<\/a><\/p>\n

When browsing for release conditions, Assignments is now at the top of the list of tools<\/em><\/p>\n

\"When<\/a><\/p>\n

When creating new release conditions, Assignments is now at the top of the list of tools<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
