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 October 2023\/20.23.10 release that were added to our system this month:<\/p>\n

\n

1) Brightspace Editor \u2013 Users can set the Text Direction attribute for the entire page<\/h3>\n

This feature allows instructors, when creating Content or Widgets, to set the directionality for all text on a page when using the Attributes<\/strong> menu in Brightspace Editor. The Text Direction<\/strong> attribute can be applied to the entire page by navigating to Attributes<\/strong> > Page Attributes<\/strong> and selecting the desired text direction. The attribute can have text be Default<\/strong>, Left to Right<\/strong> or Right to Left<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Previously it was only possible to set the text direction attribute on Selected Items.<\/p>\n

\"Attributes<\/a>
Set the text directionality of your Content or Widget by selecting it from the Text Direction drop-down menu.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n

2) Assignments and Discussions \u2013 Limit for field restrictions enforced<\/h3>\n

When evaluating activities in Assignments<\/strong> and Discussions<\/strong>, users can no longer use the Publish<\/strong> or Save Draft<\/strong> buttons if their evaluation exceeds the limit for field restrictions. This limitation applies to the Overall Grade<\/strong>, Overall Feedback<\/strong>, and Annotations<\/strong> fields. Previously, a warning was displayed in the Overall Feedback field when the limit was reached, but the limitation was not enforced; and users could continue attempting to save their evaluation by clicking Publish<\/strong> or Save Draft<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

3) Chat \u2013 Intent to end-of-life for Chat<\/h3>\n

With this release, users accessing the Chat tool now see a banner indicating the tool will no longer be available as of January 2024. <\/p>\n

The Chat tool displays a banner about the tool's EOL date.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For more information about this update, refer to Intent to End Of Life Notice for: Chat<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

4) Pulse App \u2013 Accessibility improvements<\/h3>\n

Brightspace Pulse app is updated to provide a more consistent assistive technology experience between iOS and Android platforms. In addition, there is an added option to enable 3rd Party cookies within the Pulse app settings. As a result of these changes, users are required to log back in to the Pulse app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
