\"update\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\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 April 2023\/20.23.4 release that were added to our system this month:<\/p>\n

\n

1) Discussions \u2013 Introducing the new creation and editing experience<\/h3>\n

The new discussion creation experience brings create and edit consistency changes from Assignments and Quizzes to Discussions, making it familiar and easy to learn. This first release is at full parity with classic discussions and brings refreshed workflows and improvements to restricting group topics and threads, associating topics to forums, and wording changes to a few settings that you may be familiar with.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The new Discussions creation and editing experience<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The primary panel on the left contains the same frequently-used fields as Assignments and Quizzes. These fields are most relevant to learners and are core to discussion topic creation. The right-hand panel provides advanced options such as start and end dates and release conditions. These options follow the same logical groupings as found in Assignments and Quizzes. Other topic-specific settings can be found in the right-hand panel.<\/p>\n

Refer to the Introducing the New Discussion Creation Experience<\/a> knowledge article for an in-depth look at all the feature and capability changes with this update.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2) Quizzes \u2013 Confirmation dialog for learners exiting a quiz<\/h3>\n

This feature introduces a confirmation dialog to learners closing in-progress quizzes. The dialog is context-based, providing additional information about the impact of exiting the quiz (such as whether a learner will be able to return to their quiz after exiting).<\/p>\n

\"An<\/a>

Previously there was no dialog or warning to learners who exited a quiz accidentally or on purpose.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> The dialog only appears when the learner selects the X [Close this Quiz]<\/strong> for the quiz. Closing the browser window or tab does not display the confirmation dialog.<\/p>\n

This feature implements the PIE item D7289 (Close\/Exit Quiz errors correction).<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The message shown when a student tries to exit a quiz depends on the time limit and end date settings for the quiz. In every scenario after exiting a quiz, learners are directed back to the Quiz Details<\/strong> page.<\/p>\n
