The following are changes that were brought to Waterloo LEARN with the December 2015 D2L update:
- Dropboxes can now be setup with a Turnitin exemption for individual students.

Their assignments will not be submitted to Turnitin, even if Turnitin has been enabled for the Dropbox.

A change in D2L's August 2015 update made it necessary to allow these TA levels to edit dropbox folders, as a temporary workaround to ensure they could continue to grade student submissions. A fix was applied with this update to allow the elevated rights to be removed.
