What changes will I see?

Attendance

  • New feature added for learners to self-record attendance to learning events. A learning event can only have either geolocation attendance or self-recorded attendance enabled, not both. 

Assessment and Evaluation

  • New feature added for learners to receive an email notification when an assessor completes an Assessment or Evaluation Task on them and selects one or more prompted responses. This is configured on the course page and is defaulted to off. 

  • For administrators, an additional column was created on the Assessment & Evaluation dashboard to show the expiry date on outstanding tasks. 

  • New feature added to create items in an Assessment & Evaluation Task that are confidential and not visible to students. The new item type is called Confidential Free Text Comments and will only appear for users completing the form who are an admin or a course owner of the associated course.

  • New feature added to disable initial Assessment & Evaluation Task emails that get generated. This can be disabled when creating a new distribution. 

  • New feature added to show whether a rotation has distributions associated with it and what they are. This can be found in the Rotations Setup screen within Clinical Experience.

  • New feature added so that when viewing items and groups items in a list view, it shows a preview of the item text or a preview of the entire item, respectively, so that it is easier to know which item is which. 

Exams

  • Improvement to Exam Question Management so that you can now add labels or courses to grouped questions on the setup page.  

  • Improvement to Exam Question Management and the Grouped Questions page so that you can filter based on labels.  

  • Added a new exception in exams for learners to allow for a non-secure exam taking of a secure exam.  

Gradebook

  • Added a new feature so that administrators can import or export grader to learners for a Gradebook Assignment. The CSV will require a column for Learner Email and another for Grader Email. 

  • Improvement to Gradebook assessment table to show the submission status for an assignment so that you can see whether something was submitted on time or late.
