2024.5.2: Released product updates
Improvements to plan sorting
When creating multiple plans without a date, the first plan you create will be listed at the top, and the newest one will be listed at the bottom. This will make it easier for teachers to use the feature “Set dates” on plans.Folder “Without topic”
The order of plans in this folder can only be changed by using drag and drop. When reorganising your plans, the new order will now be reflected in the table view.
New global content search (beta version)
In this release, we replace the global content search in the personal menu with the beta version of our new search. The benefit for users is that they can now find also plans and topics with the search tool.The new search will move out of beta over the summer, with final touches to the user interface for better user experience.
Opening table view from single topic page
To work more efficiently, teachers can now navigate from single topic page to table view. In table view, plans will be filtered by this specific topic.
2024.5.1- Released product updates
Small improvement to play plan for student
Assignment completion will automatically be reflected in play plan's side panel as soon as an assignment is completed. Today, a student must refresh the page or navigate to the next element to see the green check mark next to an assignment in the side panel.Final removal of old course dashboards
The course dashboard functionality was replaced by the course overview page in a user interface upgrade in 2021.To allow teachers time to move their content to resources, we have kept the old dashboards available in read-only mode from the course links. A warning was provided that these dashboards would be permanently removed by the end of 2021. Due to various reasons, the removal was delayed, but in this release, they have finally been removed from the link collection.
