Communication improvements

Blackboard Learn SaaS Continuous Delivery v3300.8.0 | Release to Production 2 February 2018
Ultra Course View

We've added the following improvements in course communication based on feedback from our clients.

  • Instructors can now send a message to groups of students from the Create Groups page in assignments, tests, and discussions.
  • When a student submits an attempt on behalf of their group, a message appears to confirm that no group member will be able to edit after submission.
  • We've added new icons and guidance moments for class conversations and group conversations on assessments, when enabled. Previously, a user selected which conversation to view from a drop-down menu.
  • Students and instructors can use a Refresh icon to load any new conversation or discussion posts since they've opened the page.
  • We've added the ability to contact users through their profile card in more places.
