<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\nD2L (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 June 2022\/20.22.6 release that were added to our system this month:<\/p>\n Instructors who teach several courses and have the new Assignments > Copy to Other Courses<\/strong> permissions are now able to copy assignments between their courses. The copied assignment includes the following key assignment properties:<\/p>\n The following attributes are not copied:<\/p>\n NOTE:<\/strong> In some cases, references to links and images that are not copied may result in broken links. <\/p>\n The Copy to Other Courses<\/strong> option appears in the context menu of assignments.<\/p>\n In the Copy Assignment<\/strong> dialog, you can select any rubrics and grade items associated with the selected assignment to include them in the copy package. The Choose Destinations<\/strong> area enables you to search by keyword or semester to find the destination courses for the assignment. Only course offerings for which a user has the Copy to Other Courses<\/strong> permission appear in the Choose Destinations<\/strong> list. By default, the maximum number of courses you can select is 10.<\/p>\n After you have completed the Copy Assignment<\/strong> dialog, the progress page indicates the status of each destination course and any issues. If you navigate away from the progress page, a minibar notification in Brightspace Learning Environment indicates when the assignment has been copied to all the destination courses. You can click the notification to open the progress page to review the status and logged issues.<\/p>\n This feature partially implements PIE item D6762 - Post the same assignment to multiple courses, and D5754 - Export assessments to multiple courses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n With this release, the Brightspace Pulse App is now only supported on the following mobile operating systems:<\/p>\n This ensures that mobile level support is consistent across all D2L Apps, rather than being on a per-app basis; and consistent with Android and Apple policies concerning operating system support.<\/p>\n Previously, Brightspace Pulse was supported on Android 6 and iOS12 and above.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Classlist can now display users' pronouns next to their names. Users with the existing Set My Pronouns<\/strong> permission enabled for their role can choose whether to display their pronouns to other users in the Account Settings > Pronouns<\/strong> menu. They must check the Allow others to see my pronouns<\/strong> check box for their pronouns to display in Classlist. Users must have the existing See Pronouns<\/strong> permission enabled for their role to see their classmates' pronouns in Classlist.<\/p>\n Previously, the only location where pronouns displayed was in a user's profile card. Refer to Brightspace Tip #270: Pronouns<\/a> for more information. <\/p>\n This feature implements PIE items D5207 (Preferred Pronoun field in Classlist) and D8232 (Display Pronouns in Classlist).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The new quiz creation experience brings create and edit consistency changes from Assignments to Quizzes.<\/p>\n The primary panel on the left contains common, frequently used fields that are always displayed. These fields are most relevant to learners and are core to quiz creation. The add\/edit question workflow has been brought into the primary panel, giving users the ability to easily modify quiz questions without the need to navigate to a separate interface. <\/p>\n The right-hand panel organizes additional, more advanced options such as start and end dates, release conditions, and special access. These options follow the same logical groupings as found in Assignments. Other quiz-specific settings can be found in the right-hand panel including creating a password protected quiz, applying IP restrictions, adjusting quiz timing, setting display options, managing attempts, and altering evaluation and feedback settings. <\/p>\n See the Welcome to the New Quiz Creation Experience<\/a> knowledge article for an in-depth look at all the feature and capability changes with this update.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n To provide consistency with other Rubrics experiences and build on the value of the Rubrics tool, there are several improvements in this release.<\/p>\n The Archived<\/strong> tag enables users to update rubric versions while keeping the existing evaluation records available for instructors and learners to review. Previously, when you changed a rubric, previous evaluations were removed. Now, if you change the status of a rubric to Archived, there are no effects on the alignment of rubrics to any assessment activities or previous evaluations that were completed using the rubric. Rubrics that are changed to an Archived status after the initial alignment to the activity continue to display and can be used for evaluation. There is a new Archived<\/strong> tag that appears on rubric tiles in activity creation and activity evaluation workflows to provide information to instructors and course developers that a rubric previously aligned to an activity is now archived. The Archived<\/strong> tag appears in both full-screen and pop-out views of the rubric in Grades, Competencies, and in the Consistent Eval experience. In addition, it appears in rubrics results pages and during evaluation for instructors in collapsed, expanded, and full-screen view. You cannot add archived rubrics to assessment activities and new rubric alignments - this behavior has not changed. <\/p>\n Note:<\/strong> The archived state tag is not visible to learners. If you have been evaluated using an archived status rubric, the learner can see those evaluations and feedback. <\/p>\n The Rubric selection dialog window now includes the first two rows of the rubric description to enable instructors and course designers to better identify the version of a rubric when its name is being reused for a current rubric. <\/p>\n The help text icon now appears next to the Status column heading, and the Archived Status text now more accurately reflects the available interactions with archived status rubrics. Specifically, it expands the description to indicate that archived rubrics do not appear in default search results and cannot be added to activities; however they can be evaluated. Further, archiving a rubric does not remove it from activities or published feedback.<\/p>\n If you are interested in getting more information about these and all the June Continuous Delivery updates, refer to the Brightspace Platform June 2022\/20.22.6 Release Notes<\/a>.<\/p>\n Additionally, refer to the Brightspace Release Notes for Continuous Delivery Releases<\/a>, for details about current, past, and to preview upcoming continuous delivery updates.<\/p>\n View current, past, and preview upcoming Continuous Delivery release notes<\/a> Note: Are you doing something innovative in Brightspace or perhaps you've discovered a handy tip?
