December 12, 2008, Sunnyvale, CA - Etudes is pleased to announce the following Etudes upgrades!
At 4:00AM this morning, December 12, 2008, a number of enhancements were added to Discussions & Private Messages in Etudes. Highlights of the items addressed in this release include the following:
For a quick overview with screen shots, please see: http://etudes.org/release/discussion/2.6/
* Ability to "add comments to all users with posts"
* Ability to 'adjust all scores to users with posts by _"
* Make "Grade Forum" column header sortable
* Allow instructors to assign negative scores
* Add 'last edited on mm/dd/yyyy, time' for edited posts
* List discussion items in gradebook by due / lock forum date
* Notifications should not be sent in unpublished sites
* Make topic notifications group-aware (send to group only)
* Don't notify users of new posts / replies in 'Deny Access' forums
* Leave "quote" as the only option to replying to sent PM messages
* Inform users when date format is bad and was not accepted
Additionally, a few fixes were addressed in AT&S and were deployed onto Etudes:
* Improved selection of multiple submissions for grading. Instructors can now choose which try to release to the GB (use of the 'released' checkbox option). If all tries are graded and released, the highest score is sent to the GB.
* In multiple tries, '-' was shown in the gradebook if one try was not graded. Fixed.
* The 'answer' section of student submissions now indicates clearly if students submitted something or not ("No text entered" or "No attachments uploaded").
* Single quote in the filename of attachments messed up the 'remove' function. Fixed.
