Assignments – Turnitin Submissions
Resolved by Instructure
Instructure has adjusted the method that is used to process Turnitin assignment settings for SpeedGrader by adding a 5 minute delay. This update is designed to prevent some of the issues that result in a submission being available in the Turnitin toolbar and not SpeedGrader —Learn more about the assignment processing update.
Calendar: Multiple Calendar Items
Resolved by Instructure
The calendar tool has been updated, so that calendars with more than 100 items will not display more quickly.
Files: Drag-and-Drop Course Files Area
Resolved by Instructure
The interface for dragging and dropping files has been updated, so the size of the interface is now consistently sized.
