<\/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 March 2023\/20.23.3 release that were added to our system this month:<\/p>\n Learners can now share achievements from the Awards tool directly to their LinkedIn profiles.<\/p>\n This feature simplifies showcasing awards in LinkedIn profiles. Awards can now be shared directly from Brightspace without using a third-party tool or creating a link to the award first.<\/p>\n To share an award to their LinkedIn profiles, learners can navigate to the My Awards<\/strong> page, select the desired award, click Share<\/strong>, and then click the new Share to LinkedIn<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n Shared awards appear in the Licenses & Certifications<\/strong> section of learners' LinkedIn profiles.<\/p>\n Previously, awards could be shared to LinkedIn by first sharing the award to Badgr or creating a public link to the award (available as of November 2022) and then copying the link to LinkedIn.<\/p>\n This feature implements PIE item D8491 (Share Badges Directly to LinkedIn).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n With this release, calendar events are checked to see if they are duplicates when performing a course copy or import. When either action is performed, Brightspace only copies the following:<\/p>\n When a user manually creates multiple calendar items, Brightspace compares the following fields when checking for duplicates:<\/p>\n This feature only applies when performing a copy into a course offering and when importing course packages. It does not check if existing events are duplicates.<\/p>\n Previously, manually created or imported calendar events were not checked for duplication, creating duplicate calendar items.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The ISF player<\/strong> insert is now responsive and adapts to match screen size. When using Insert Stuff in Brightspace Editor<\/a> to insert a video, the video preview screen is updated to show a responsive player and will now scale to the available maximum width. Height and aspect ratio are still respected. Previously, the player was too small, especially for users with smaller devices. In addition, users had to specify a size to embed the player via ISF.<\/p>\n The layout slider will be removed as the responsive nature of this update makes it redundant. Existing videos that were added to Brightspace Editor before the 20.23.3 release will remain statically sized.<\/p>\n For customers using the sample HTML v3.0 Templates<\/strong>, the Video Lecture<\/strong> page, or who are managing any Learning Creative Services or third-party HTML templates and styles: please be aware that after the 20.23.03 update, videos hosted in the Brightspace Media Library are responsive automatically without having to insert videos into the video wrapper sections. Customers can now insert Brightspace Media Library videos where needed into any template as there is no longer a need to insert into a video wrapper section to make the video responsive. Customers wishing to continue using the video wrapper section with Brightspace Media Library videos can explore how to update their versions of the Sample HTML v3.0 CSS by visiting HTML Template (Version 3.0) - Brightspace<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A new language selector is available in the user menu to easily change the language setting to the user\u2019s preferred language. Previously, a user had to navigate to Account Settings<\/strong> or use a custom installed widget with a complex workflow. Users can continue to access language and locale within the Account Settings<\/strong> page; this update provides an option that you can more easily access.<\/p>\n Note: Only languages that are enabled by your organization are available for selection.<\/p>\n This feature implements the following PIE\u202fitems:<\/p>\n If you are interested in getting more information about these and all the March Continuous Delivery updates, refer to the Brightspace Platform March 2023\/20.23.3 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?
