A round-up of all improvements and changes to the Buzz platform in versions v2.0.155 and v3.0.53, available on May 17, 2018.
Contents
Updates
In this release, we updated the way Buzz displays student activity in the student Grades > Activity screen. Previously, if a student opened two activities at once, Buzz would display the time both activities were open as student activity. Now, Buzz only displays the time spent in one activity (the most recently opened) to avoid double counting.
In the example below:
- These two activities were opened six seconds apart, so the time spent in the second activity opened (Ecosystems Assignment) is displayed for the time both activities were opened.
- Once that activity was closed, Buzz begins displaying the time for the first activity opened (The Trouble with Trilobites), again.
New Buzz UI
During the summer of 2017, we released a new Buzz UI, giving you the same features and functionality with a cleaner, simpler user experience!
The release notes in this section pertain only to those using the new Buzz UI.
