Instructor view of statistics for manually graded quiz questions

Provided by Instructure

In addition to showing a link to SpeedGrader, quiz statistics show relative grade performance for manually graded essay and file upload quiz question types. Manually graded question types are now shown in the same table format as other quiz types. A manually graded quiz type is marked as correct if it contains a student score greater than or equal to the question points possible.

Group Name is now added to the group discussion title

Provided by Instructure

When a discussion is associated with a group set, each group’s title will be added to the discussion title. This should help instructors and students know when they are in a group discussion vs. a course level discussion.
