Originally published March 5th, 2020In March, Video Assignments will be receiving a few large (and awesome) updates. Additions to the current instructor view of an activity’s submissions. Alongside some UI improvements are changes to terms used. In addition, instructors now set the Auto Analysis score as the grade object type. New Grade Type: Auto Analysis™ A new grade type is now available for Individual Project assignments: Auto Analysis™. This grade type is automatically assigned and does not require any user with an instructor role to assign the grade. If this grade type is selected, the Auto Analysis overall score for the submitted video will be used as the grade. This will be visible in the Bongo post-submission workflows and will be synchronized with the D2L grade book. During configuration, the overall score, delivery score, or content score can be selected and will be used for the grade. Instructor Activity Overview The new Activity Overview screen replaces the old gradebook page. The functionality of the old gradebook page has been reworked, new functionality has been added, and a new Insights section has been added to provide analytics about the activity. New progress states have been introduced. The learner state will now be one of the following: Not Viewed, Viewed, In Progress, Submitted, Evaluated, Published. This allows educators to more precisely understand the current state of all the learners taking the assignment. The insights section provides analytics about the activity. By default, a progress dashboard is shown. This dashboard indicates how many learners are in each state and indicates if the educator has any submissions that are ready for evaluation or scores ready for publication. The learner section has been enriched with the new status states and the Auto Analysis™ scores if enabled for the assignment, and the list can be filtered by selecting one or more statuses. An expanded view can be toggled that shows more details for each learner including details on the learner's progress. When launching a learner’s submission or progress view, the learner list will remain on the left side allowing for easy navigation between learners. This list respects any filters applied to the list before launching a learner. Some wording changes have been made to this experience. The terms ‘score’ and ‘learner’ are now used instead of ‘grade’ and ‘student’. Today when you view submissions for a video assignment, you would see a basic view similar to: In the March release users can expect a vastly improved UI and experience when interacting with video assignment submissions: These updates come based on feedback received through the Product Idea Exchange. The feedback received was: An easier way to view class completion of a video assignment A way to filter users who haven't completed an activity Need a view into the auto analysis score without having to go into each submission A workflow to easily move between student submission
