Buzz Release Notes
A round-up of all improvements and changes to the Buzz platform in version v3.0.385, available on March 7, 2024.
Updates to Student-name display options
We added a new Name format display option to the teacher User settings > Student-name display card: Include user ID. When selected, a student's user ID appears with their name on the following screens in the teacher app: For me, Unit summary, People, Student gradebook, and Grade editor.
We also changed the title of the Short name format option to First Name <Last initial> to better indicate what is displayed when that option is selected.
Update to teacher Assessment Preview
We have reverted to a previous behavior when previewing assessments due to an issue we discovered with a recent update.
As of this release, when previewing assessments, all question feedback is shown rather than reflecting the Assessment review settings chosen for students.
Buzz fixes
In this release, we also fixed a navigation error in activity editors where, if a user clicked X to exit the editor and then chose Stay in the confirmation prompt, they would be taken to the wrong page when they later exited the editor.
