A Slew of Summertime Updates to CoursePlus

August 20, 2014 | 1 Minute Read

In addition to the new features in the Gradebook, Quiz Generator, and Peer Assessment tool blogged about previously, there have been a slew of smaller changes to CoursePlus this summer. These changes include:

• When you create a survey from a template, you can now specify the number of copies you want to make. This allows you to make 5 or 8 or 16 copies of a custom class session evaluation, for example.
• You can now manually enter email addresses in the CC: field in the class email tool.
• If there are graded categories in the discussion forum, and there are posts in that graded category that haven't been graded, an icon is shown to faculty/TAs on the discussion forum home page indicating that the category has posts which need grading.
• Auditors who have not submitted a file to a Drop Box are now grouped and listed at the bottom of the list of students who have not submitted a file and they are automatically deselected from receiving the reminder email.
• The course number of a course is displayed next to the course name on the Course Quick Jump drop-down tool.
• It is now possible for developers to un-delete a Drop Box that has been deleted through the CoursePlus interface by faculty or TAs.

All of these changes are documented in the CoursePlus guide for faculty and students. If you have any questions about how any of these features work, please contact CTL Help!
