Instructors’ attached files now appear in the Attached Files section for each student’s discussion evaluation. Students can view attached file feedback when viewing their evaluated discussion topic.

Instructors can view all attached files by clicking on the student’s name and selecting Discussions. Student can view all attached files by clicking on Discussions in Class Progress. Instructors and students can view all attached discussion evaluation files in the Class Progress tool.

Additionally, the Discussions tool’s evaluation process is now consistent with the Assignments and Quizzes tools’ evaluation processes.

As a heads up, on May 3rd we will be disabling SMS Text notification settings for all users in D2L. This is a feature that is not widely used, but is available for students on an opt-in basis from their account page. This feature is sunsetting DURING summer semester otherwise, so it will be turned off early before the semester begins.

I apologize for any inconvenience caused. Push notifications, which is more widely used, will not be affected by this change.
