<\/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 some of the updates in the April 2025\/20.25.04 release that were added to our system this month:<\/p>\n With this release, the software that powers annotations in the Assignments tool is updated to the latest version, Nutrient 1.0.0 (formerly called PSPDFKit).<\/p>\n This version update resolves the following defects:<\/p>\n Additionally, minor UI updates are introduced in Nutrient 1.0.0. In the previous version of PSPDFKit, the following buttons displayed tooltips when hovering with a cursor:<\/p>\n The previous version also highlighted the Search<\/strong> button when clicked.<\/p>\n Now, in Nutrient 1.0.0, the buttons tooltips are removed, and the Search<\/strong> button no longer highlights when selected.<\/p>\n This feature enables instructors to provide bulk feedback to learners directly within the Assignments and Discussions submission pages, enhancing efficiency and user experience.<\/p>\n Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n When using bulk feedback in Assignments or Discussions:<\/p>\n This feature implements the following PIE\u202fitems:<\/p>\n This new feature allows learners to quickly access quiz attempt feedback from the Grades<\/strong> page.<\/p>\n Previously, learners could view quiz attempt feedback only in the Quizzes tool, depending on how the instructor configured the review process. This option remains available.<\/p>\n This feature implements the following PIE\u202fitems:<\/p>\n This release introduces a redesigned User Interface (UI) for Media Library, aligning it with the look and feel of other Brightspace tools. The updated interface allows administrators and instructors to manage media files more efficiently across multiple courses and content objects. Any change to a media file is automatically reflected in all courses it is added to, ensuring consistency and saving time.<\/p>\n All the functionality of the old Media Library still exists but is now presented in a modern way:<\/p>\n The Source<\/strong> filter was removed from the Media Library due to lack of relevance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Originally released for the Quizzes tool in September 2024 \/ 20.24.9<\/a>, this update now turns on the new Quiz Evaluation Experience by default for all clients, promoting broader adoption while still allowing users to opt out until July 2025, at which time it will be made the default experience for all users.<\/p>\n This update streamlines the transition to the new Quiz Evaluation Experience, enhancing grading workflows and ensuring consistency while allowing clients to adjust settings before the opt-out option is removed. Administrators can continue to offer users the choice to manually opt into the new Quiz Evaluation Experience through the June 2025\/20.25.06 release. However, starting with the July 2025\/20.25.07 release, all clients will be automatically transitioned to the new experience, and the opt-out option will no longer be available.<\/p>\n Previously, administrators had to manually enable the new Quiz Evaluation Experience as an opt-in feature.<\/p>\n If you are interested in getting more information about these and all the April Continuous Delivery updates, refer to the Brightspace Platform April 2025\/20.25.04 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?
