Buzz Release Notes
A round-up of all improvements and changes to the Buzz platform in version v3.0.361 available on September 21, 2023.
Coming soon to Buzz: Enhanced answer indicators in assessments!
In the coming weeks, we will release enhancements to the way Buzz shows students which answer options were correct and incorrect after completing an assessment. These enhancements include inline messages indicating what the student selected correctly, what they selected incorrectly, what they should have selected, and even when they receive partial credit.
These updates will improve the experience for learners without impacting their workflow. Review examples below.
Teachers and course authors will still be able control whether or not students see these indicators by configuring the Display correct choices field in the Assessment editor > Settings > Assessment review card.
