July 2015 D2L Update

The following are changes that were brought to Waterloo LEARN with the July 2015 D2L update:

  1. Copy Course Components now has an Include Associated Files checkbox. For example, if you want to copy Selected Components from another one of your courses, rather than the entire course you will have the option to include associated files. If, one of the items you want to copy forward is a Quiz that included images in the questions, you now only need to check the Include Associated Files checkbox, rather than searching through the Course Files to find the image files.

  2. The Course Schedule View now has an Overdue tab for students. If you have a Content Item that a student hasn't completed with a Due Date that has passed, and either a future End Date or no End Date, then that item will appear on the Overdue Tab. Note: This will only happen it the item is setup in the Course Materials > Content area. If a Dropbox or Quiz has been setup, but not included in the Content, then the item will not appear on the Overdue tab.

  3. Students will now be able to download specific topics in Course Materials > Content without having to download all the topics at once.
  4. Likert questions in Surveys will now display the responses in Statistics or HTML Reports.
