As you know, our Brightspace system is automatically updated once a month. Our June Continuous Delivery Update (scheduled for Thursday, June 25th) will include a change to the Assignments Tool. The create and edit Assignments page will have an updated look and feel. The classic tabbed view will be transformed into a new, fully immersive page layout.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Example<\/a>
The updated look and feel of the new Assignment creation screen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

The primary panel on the left contains frequently used fields that are always displayed. These fields are most relevant to learners and are the core details instructors want to add; a due date, instructions, and attachments.<\/p>\n

The panel on the right organizes additional, more advanced options such as start and end dates, rubrics, annotation tools, and Turnitin. When these options are collapsed, summary text provides details about which settings are active and subtle hints that aid in the discovery of additional settings. As a result, you can see everything at a glance with little to no scrolling, and without having to navigate through any tabs.<\/p>\n

The new experience streamlines the process of linking assignments to your gradebook<\/strong> and builds on a pattern first introduced in Activity Feed<\/a>. When you enter a score, your assignment is added to Grades, and the name and score are automatically synced for you. If you traditionally create grade items in advance, support for selecting existing grades and categories is also available.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Example<\/a>
The new add to grades workflow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I think you are going to like the changes to the Assignments Tool. The new interface will simplify your workflow.<\/p>\n
