Updates
In this release, we:
- Updated the assessment player to immediately show the please wait dialog when a student submits their assessment.
- Updated the wait message to indicate Buzz is saving answers.
- Improved Insert placeholder UI prompts for inline questions.
- Improved layout of the Editor > Group settings table and added horizontal scrolling to account for courses with lots of student groups.
Fixes
In this release, we also:
- Resolved a question editor issue with showing the left side of a match for a Matching inline question.
- Fixed an issue in the Rich text editor > Insert/Edit media dialog in question editors where choosing Inline display would not work unless you also specified an alignment option for the image.
- Fixed an issue in the Student Grades > What If screen where clearing a teacher-assigned score would not impact the re-calculated projected score.
- Fixed an issue on the Needs Grading screen and in Gradebook’s Quick-edit mode where saving a score would display a spinner cursor for only part of the score saving process.
