What's New?

Discussions:

  • There is now an option to include a thread's replies when copying it from one topic to another. Before, only the original thread could be copied without its associated replies.

Quizzes:

  • Using Special Access, instructors can now override the number of attempts allowed for individual students.
  • Quiz and Survey data can now be exported to Excel. An Export to Excel button is available on the Grade Quiz and View Statistics pages.

Fixes:

Dropboxes:

  • There was an issue with the Turnitin Due Date if an End Date wasn't added to the Dropbox Restrictions tab within D2L. We still recommend including a Start, Due, and End Dates in the Dropbox folder when using Turnitin, but if an End Date is missing, Turnitin will now use the Course End Date as the Turnitin Due Date.
