D2L June 2024 Updates
Assignments – Annotations updated
This release updates the Assignment Annotations tool from PSPDFKit Version 2023.4.0 to Version 2024.3.0 This update fixes several defects; in addition, some icons and menus have received minor changes and may vary from the previous version.
Assignments – Microsoft 365 option available in File Upload | New
The option to directly upload a file from Microsoft OneDrive® is now available when editing and evaluating an assignment. Users can upload a file by clicking File Upload, and then clicking Microsoft OneDrive in the Add a File window.
Previously, Microsoft OneDrive files could only be added as link attachments.
Brightspace – In-Product Feedback | New
Some of you may see a new in-product feedback rating window as you access parts of D2L. This is an extremely rare occurrence and once prompted for feedback you will not be asked again in the future.
The in-product feedback asks users for ratings on one to two questions; these questions ask about users’ experience with Brightspace as a whole, their experience meeting goals in Brightspace, or their experience in a particular workflow.

Honorlock – New side panel in student experience
Exam Guidelines can now be viewed using a side panel that does not overlay on top of exam content. The side panel can be left open throughout an exam, providing students with better visibility of exam guidelines when needed. This information was previously only available prior to starting the exam.
Instructor Guided Training – Reminder
If you have not done so already, please feel free to access our D2L guided instructor training course by clicking the link with the D2L moose on your homepage. At first this training looks barren with only a few items, but as you complete each module a new one will open up! This training goes through the basics of D2L all the way through more advanced tools and is available to all instructors of the college.
