Assignments
Differentiated Assignments Student Secondary Information
The Assign To field displays secondary information to differentiate students with the same name. This change provides additional information to differentiate students with the same name who are being added to an assignment.
Conferences
Group and Sections Options
As part of creating a new conference, the Conferences page includes checkboxes for selecting groups and sections. This change allows conference creators to add all members of a specific section or group to a conference.
Dashboard
To Do SpeedGrader Link
The Grade Assignment link in the To Do list opens SpeedGrader in a new browser tab. This change provides consistency within the To Do list, as the link already opens to SpeedGrader with items that need to be graded from the course sidebar.
