Previewing a student's attempt on a quiz

Disabling communication when publishing
I have two questions around publishing grades for assessments and exams: Will students still be informed grades are published if manually entering grades in the gradebook? Is there a way of disabling emails when grades are published to gradebook? Many thanks, Sue

New Quiz Experience
Hello, I am wondering if there is a way to set it up the new quiz experience so that teachers are able to copy and paste images into each individual question feedback, and not just the overall feedback. This is possible in the old quiz experience, but in the new version it does not allow pasting of images. Thank you!

Just have exam as an assignment and upload paper to be available at a specified time and then students upload their exam paper as a document - not…

Highlight Text option when assessing Discussions
I would like to have the ability to highlight text in students' discussions when I am assessing them, so they know, readily, what was useful about their discussion post. Is there presently a way to do this? If not, it would be great to add this (it would make my grading process much easier for online courses).

Rubrics for grading coding/programming assignments
Does anyone have any tips on how to use the D2L rubrics for grading coding/programming assignments? I have looked at the rubrics and do not want to use a Holistic as it is too vague when grading code while an Analytic does not work for me (currently) as I have not come up with a good way to even distribute the points so…
