Agilix Learning Suite Release Notes

We announce significant upcoming features and changes in a standalone Coming soon article that appears at the top of the What's new section.  

Check out what’s coming soon to Buzz!

We've introduced a new student Accommodations setting that allows administrators to pause activity password requirements for individual students for a period of time. This setting can be useful in situations where students are unable to access the password, but still need to complete work. For example, in a course where passwords are provided during class, but a student is unable to attend due to illness or hospitalization.

The Ignore activity passwords accommodation overrides an activity password that is assigned in an activity editor's Visibility and access card.

In this release, we also:

• Fixed a styling issue in the Teacher app where the Due date was cut off in the Editor > Group settings tab.
• Fixed an issue in the Assessment question editor where, after inserting an image within a line of text and previewing the question, the image would jump to the end of the line of text.
• Fixed an issue where Activity themes were not being correctly displayed through Publish Anywhere.
• Fixed a styling issue where the Create account form on the sign in screen wouldn't be displayed on operating systems using dark mode.
• Fixed an issue when creating an account from the sign-in screen where a message was delivered to users that they could sign in when a token had been configured incorrectly.
