This feature will not be immediately available when the 3900.54 release is applied to test/stage and production sites. Please prepare for this feature to appear automatically up to 1 or 2 days after your site is updated.
Instructors organize and sequence their course materials when authoring. Contents are arranged by dragging and dropping them. In this release, drag-and-drop has been greatly improved, increasing efficiency. Instructors can grab items more quickly. When moving an item, it’s clearer to instructors where it will go when dropped.
Instructors can also use keyboard commands to reorder the content:
- tab to navigate to an item
- enter to select an item
- up/down arrows to move an item
- enter to drop the item
