On Thursday, March 5th, Desire2Learn deployed Service Pack 15 & 16 to our D2L Learning Environment. In this latest update, the following fixes and enhancements were included:
Chat
- Fix: Users can now successfully change Chat settings from within an individual chat room, as well as, from the main list of chats.
Classlist
- Fix: A timezone inconsistency has been corrected for the classlist withdrawals section and user enrollment logs.
Content
- Fix: Improvements have been made to adding video files directly as Content topics. Previously, some users were not able to play the videos.
- Fix: Users will no longer receive an error after successfully uploading new files in the Manage Files area. This error was encountered intermittently.
Copy Components
- Fix: Users with access to Copy Course Components can successfully copy items from inactive courses using both the Copy All and Select Components methods, regardless of their role’s ability to access inactive courses.
Discussions
- Fix: Notifications for discussions activity no longer causes an error when viewed outside of the course in which the discussion is located.
Dropbox
- Fix: Multiple users can now attach feedback to a Dropbox submission
ePortfolio
- Fix: When ePortfolio artifacts are linked to from text areas in presentations, these artifacts now open successfully when the presentation is submitted to a Dropbox folder.
- Fix: An issue related to sharing groups in ePortfolio has been addressed. Users will no longer receive a Not Authorized error when they try to view shared items that are available to them.
- Fix: Photos taken on mobile devices and synced to ePortfolio through the ePortfolio mobile application are displayed in the correct orientation (portrait or landscape).
News
- Fix: When downloading file attachments from the News widget, attachments are now saved with the original file name preserved.
Quizzing
- Fix: When grading a quiz attempt, the Save and Continue button now continues to the next question.
- Fix: Images attached to questions in the question library will no longer disappear if a user previews an in-progress question before it has been saved.
Surveys
- Fix: Surveys can now be successfully accessed and submitted when sent out in emails using the Invite Participants feature in Surveys.
- Fix: Draft surveys that have due dates will no longer cause an error when some users load the Content tool. Draft surveys are not visible to these users.
- Fix: A fix to the date filtering logic was made to the Survey Reports tool to allow for smaller report sets to be created for consecutive date ranges. Previously, an error in the date filtering prevented some attempts from being included at the beginning of the range.
User Progress
- Fix: Users can no see the help terms for unreleased final grades in the User Progress tool.
- Fix: The Login History data in User Progress has been fixed to no longer display inaccurate Days Absent values after the first 10 rows.
- Fix: The number of posts read in Discussion Statistics includes the posts made by that user. The column name has been changed to better describe this count.
- Fix: Performance improvements were made to the Login History section of User Progress.
- Fix: Improvements have been made to the Dropbox section of User Progress to prevent errors being displayed to the user.
Widgets
- Fix: Users will no longer have their role reverted while using Role Switch if they encounter a broken image on the course homepage.
