  • Updated

New Feature

  • [CLASSROOM-1582] - Users now have the ability to lock/unlock an assignment for large groups of students. The "unlock all" feature effectively un-submits the assignment for all students. All students will then need to resubmit any previously submitted assignments. The unlock all feature will only give the students access to retake, if the assignment is still within the assignment schedule (open-close dates).
  • [CLASSROOM-1595] – A stopwatch / countdown timer was added to Interview Assignments. It can be found in the actions button. A new little form shows up to select minutes and seconds and hit start. The user can pause and reset the timer.
  • [CLASSROOM-1599] - Classroom assignment print now utilizes a default Report. The next step is to enable a district (Othello) to customize the Report for their specific needs.

The Gradebook shows the property as a read-only value in the "Administrative Settings" tab. The property defaults the limit to 2,000 characters. The user interface will display a line of text under each text area saying "Limit 2,000 characters" and as the user types, that line will be appended with "Current length: 567 characters". This was put into place for these 4 text areas in Classroom. Any others will need to be done on an as needed basis: Student assignment score comments, Student Class Term Grade Comments, Student Leaning Standard (Class Term) Grade comments, Student NAM grade comments.
