Good Monday morning. There are a number of updates and new stuff in Ecto this morning:
- Dynamic Rubrics – the first version of a dynamic rubrics builder is in place. Take a look at it when you create a short answer or files submit section on a learning page. We will have a separate blog about this soon.
- Gradebook / Popup Layout changes – some changes based on the fact that you now have rubrics to help you grade.
- Reset Gradebook attempts – we added the ability to reset a graded item
- Page options to hide “points” and “not yet answered” info boxes on a learning page – click on the edit page button on a learning page to try it out.
- New Blog Layout
- New thread layouts
- MyPage on Dashboard – you have always had the ability to build your own personal page that is tied to your profile. With this new layout it is easier to get to and easier to edit. Try it out; let’s see how creative you can be.
- Owner can send messages to the group – if you are a group owner or group admin now you can message your group or any subset of your group right from the group page.
- Disable user images in groups – as a group owner or group admin you can now disable a user's picture if you find it disruptive. The user will get a message that their image is being blocked in the group.
- Timeout setting – we changed the idle timeout from 20 minutes to 60 minutes.
- Plus miscellaneous bug fixes from the “the technical team has been contacted” e-mails.
