Are you using or planning to use Microsoft Office 365? Our new Office 365 integration offers a simple, easy to use workflow that brings together itslearning tools with your OneDrive resources and Office 365 apps (Word, Excel and PowerPoint).
In the task tool you can now:

All changes are visible in real-time, and the participants can see everyone’s changes as they happen. Use it for process-oriented writing or let your students comment on each other’s work. The possibilities are endless.

Assessment Record
The assessment record has been updated with the following changes.
Category row
When there are no categories in a course, we have removed the category row (previously a row was shown with the label ‘Uncategorised’.
Exempts
To keep the assessment record easy on the eye, we’ve removed the yellow background on exempts. Exempted grades are now shown as struck-through.
Assignments
Teachers can now submit an assignment on behalf of a student in a group assignment.
We’ve also introduced different colours for the submission statuses. There are only 3: blue for submitted, orange when the action lies with the student (e.g. not submitted), grey when completed.
