What's New

We announce significant upcoming features and changes in a standalone Coming soon article that appears at the top of the What's new section.  

Check out what’s coming soon to Buzz!

We've made the following enhancements to the new Multiple answer graphic hot spot question:

• Teachers can now define the border style, width, and color of the hot spots. They can select different settings for the initial, unselected spots and the selected spots.

• Added ability to name the hot spots, so student choices in assessment analytics give more meaningful data. Students don't see the names provided when completing the assessment.

• Added accessibility messaging for all graphic questions: Graphic questions are not accessible for users who require keyboard-only access or screen readers.

In this release, we:

• Made general accessibility improvements.
• Gave teachers the ability to define the border style, width, and color of drop areas in Matching: Graphic drag and drop questions.

In this release, we also:

• Fixed an issue in Multiple answer graphic hot spot question where authors could create hot spots that were larger than the background image. 
• Fixed an issue in the Base/Derivative course Changes screen where the Re-sync selected settings button would do nothing if a Derivative course activity defined badges but the Base course activity did not.
• Fixed an issue in the Clipboard where checking the Gradable checkbox and then unchecking it would sometimes cause the assigned activity to still be gradable. 
• Fixed an issue where the Quick-list title was not required in the Clipboard's Save Quick-list dialog box.
• Fixed a styling issue in the Syllabus Editor's Add Activity dialog box. 
• Fixed an issue in the rubric grader where users were allowed to enter negative numbers.
• Fixed a style issue in the domain landing content on the student- and teacher-app home pages.
• Fixed an issue where the printer-friendly view of Class Statistics would sometimes not color in the circle for the correct answer of a multiple-choice or multiple-answer questions.
• Fixed an issue in the Duplicate agenda dialog box where you could press the Duplicate button without entering a Target date.

Updates in version 2022.1.13.116.

Additions, Removal, or Changes:

• Question schema: Added several new attributes to support the styling of the border for graphic questions, including bordercolor, borderwidth, borderstyle, selectedcolor, selectedwidth, and selectedstyle.

Fixes:

• CopyItems: Fixed an issue where copying an item’s resource (e.g., image) may not work.
