Agilix Learning Suite Release Notes

All Buzz users will see these enhancements:

• Teachers will be able to send multiple feedback messages about an activity from the Grade editor.
• Feedback messages can be sent at any time, before or after an activity is submitted or graded.
• Teachers will still have Feedback templates to help with grading.
• Feedback messages will be more discoverable to students.

When teachers send a feedback message, students will be notified in their Activity stream with a link that takes them to Grade details, so they can read it while looking at the activity and scores.

Teacher messages will be prominently displayed in Grade details, so students can easily find them.

And teachers will be able to see if a student has seen their feedback message.

Messages is optimized to work with Buzz's new Inbox enabled.

Together, these tools:

• Streamline communication between students and teachers with an easy-to-use Inbox that doesn't rely on external email services.
• Enable two-way, contextualized interactions about student submissions with messaging tools built into the Grade editor for teachers and Grade details for students.
• Simplify workflows for teachers by automatically generating links when students message from specific activities or folders.
• Facilitate co-teacher and grader collaboration by giving them visibility into their shared students' messages and letting them easily join or be added to existing conversations.
• Improve parent and mentor involvement by giving them access to their student's messages.

Administrators will be able to enable Inbox for domains using a Feature switch.
