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. You will also be entered to win some D2L branded prizes such as a Morris the Moose plushie, travel pillows, and tumbler cups!

Brightspace Editor – Path detection warning and configuration variable | New
A warning now appears when a user attempts to add an object (such as a link or image) in Brightspace Editor that has a path outside of the current course. The warning tooltip explains that if the item is copied to another course, the incorrect path would also be copied, potentially preventing learners from accessing the object. This new warning alerts the content creator to ensure a consistent experience for learners.

Final Grade Audit Log page – End of Life | Removed
With this release, the Final Grade Audit Log page, found in Admin Tools, is no longer available. This page displays the results of a recurring task that recalculates final grades and compares them to the initial calculations to ensure accuracy.
Over the past ten years, no valid issues have been identified. Currently, the recalculation process consumes significant database resources and is no longer effective or required.
Please note that this does not make any changes to the way final grades are calculated or to the edit history seen in the gradebook itself.
