It will be published as Release Notes, not Preview Release Notes, on July 6th.
More things need to be added to the release note.
Re: Release Notes Updates
July 2023/20.23.7 Preview Release Notes are now live and ready for review!
Please note, this is only a preview for the upcoming Brightspace version, which we will begin to roll out on July 6. All features described are subject to change before then.
Thank you for your patience.
Course Publisher (D2L / Canvas) - Add a new D2L course off. to an existing integration in Canvas?
Once we set up an integration between d2l and Canvas using d2l Course Publisher, how can we add new course offerings to this existing integration in Canvas?
For example, our client has 18 d2l course offerings. They have an active integration between 9 of their d2l course offerings and their Canvas account using d2l Course Publisher. How do we add 8 new d2l course offerings to this existing integration?
Do we need to create a new Course Publisher recipient and a new d2l+Canvas integration for these 8 new course offerings?
Below is a screenshot showing our current Course Publisher settings for this client. As you can see, the bottom 2 course offerings are old courses from 2022, which were successfully added to their Canvas and used by students.
The new 2023 course offerings have been set up in d2l and added to their course publisher page, but I am not sure how they are supposed to add these new courses to their Canvas. I have already shared these new LTI links with their LMS admin.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thank you!
Announcement Emails as Admin
Is there a way to receive announcements as emails for a particular course as an admin?
Drop lowest grade questions
Hi All,
I understand that if I want to drop the lowest grade in a grade category (ex. 5 quizzes, drop lowest so only 4 count), I need to make sure the points are distributed evenly and all quizzes are worth the same amount.
But what if I want to make the last quiz worth more points to really help students bring the grade up? Can I put that quiz in the same category or no? If not, how would I still drop the lowest grade, do I need to exempt people from their lowest one? That may not be feasible in a class with 500 students for example.
Thoughts or ideas appreciated.
Thank You.
Re: Release Notes Updates
Hi Suzanne. Thank you for the question.
It is not an oversight. This feature requires some additional work and will be published at GA.
Re: Release Notes Updates
In the July 2023/20.23.7 Preview Release Notes, there's no mention of the Quiz Timing Improvements (big changes) that are the default/only option in the July 20.23.7 release (refer to the high impact changes timeline).
Is this an oversight?
Supporting adaptive assessments
We're working with our testing center to explore putting our writing placement exam into Brightspace. The goal is to create an assessment that helps students self-identify what writing (or reading/writing) course they should register for.
The quiz tool doesn't support adaptive branching (currently), so I'm curious if anyone is doing this and how.
Ideally, the student's result would be stored in the gradebook, or provided in a way that we can push it to Banner to store in SOATEST to facilitate registration using the API. We have the API call and procedure already.
