Desire2Learn Service Update (2/5)

On Thursday, February 5th, Desure2Learn deployed Service Pack 14 to our D2L Learning Environment.  In this latest update, the following fixes and enhancements were included:

Classlist

  • Fix: Checklists that contain empty categories now correctly display all items to users.

ePortfolio

  • Fix: Users can now successfully add tags to files and links they share through ePortfolio.

HTML Editor

  • Fix: Flicker integration now supports new Flickr API SSL endpoint.

Import/Copy Course

  • Fix: When using copy course components, the sort order of grade items and categories is preserved in the new course.
  • Fix: When Kaltura videos are embedded into News items (and other areas), replace strings are used to avoid hard-coded course identifies.  Items containing Kaltura videos can be successfully copied to other courses.
  • Fix: Dropbox start, end, and due dates are now copied successfully during the Copy Course Components process.

My Courses

  • Enhancement: The My Courses widget has been updated to allow for increased performance and filtering.  The role based style tabs has been replaced with a dropdown filters.  Additional information available at: Desire2Learn “My Courses” Widget Update.

Quizzes

  • Fix: The user experience of taking a quiz through the Content user interface now offers the same access to submission view and reports that it is available in the Quizzes tool.

There is also a known issue that can impact group restricted discussion forums.  More information on that is located at: D2L Known Issue: “Internal Error” when accessing the “Groups” tool.
