Turnitin integration enhancements!
We have enhanced our Turnitin integration to streamline configuration and grading, including:
- When a student submits a Turnitin LTI activity, Buzz now displays the activity as "needs grading."
- When a user accesses a Turnitin LTI activity, Buzz now sends the activity's due date, grace period rule, grade release date, and points possible to Turnitin. This significantly reduces a teacher's need to configure the activity directly in Turnitin, allowing them to just adjust the settings in Buzz and have it automatically reflected in Turnitin.
Updates
In this release, we:
- Updated the Final grades screen to match the new Buzz material design UI.
- Updated the Activity Stream for Teachers and Observers to match new Buzz material design UI.
Fixes
In this release, we:
- Fixed an issue where modal bars were not using correct color.
- Fixed an issue that could prevent a user from receiving a “forgot password” email.
- Fixed an issue that could display the wrong user's name for the person that deleted a course in the Restore Courses tool.
