Assignments – Retract feedback in bulk on the Submissions page | Updated

The Submissions page in the Assignments tool now aligns with Discussions and Quizzes, allowing instructors to retract feedback in bulk. This enhancement improves consistency and eliminates the need to use multiple tools for retraction tasks.
The bulk Retract Feedback option allows instructors to choose how many learners to retract published feedback from.
Selective retraction is also supported. Instructors can select users by checking the box next to their names and clicking More Actions > Retract Feedback.
The More Actions > Retract All option retracts feedback for all users, regardless of which users are selected.

Retract All option from the More Actions drop down menu
Figure: From the Submissions page, click More Actions and select Retract All to remove published feedback in bulk.

After clicking Retract All, instructors are notified of the number of evaluations to be retracted and must confirm by clicking Retract.

Previously, instructors could only retract feedback individually in the Assignments tool.

•    D5593 (Retract Assignment Feedback in Bulk)

Notifications – Unsubscribe from all | New

To improve user experience and reduce unwanted emails, notification emails from Falcon Online now include an Unsubscribe link. Selecting the link opens a confirmation screen that allows users to opt out of email notifications, including instant and summary notifications.
Note: The Unsubscribe link does not require the user to enter Falcon Online login credentials, which allows users without access to opt out directly.
Previously, users without login access were unable to unsubscribe unless they logged in to adjust their notification settings.

Note: If a user accidentally unsubscribes, they must log in to Falcon Online to resubscribe to Notifications.

Groups – Export group enrollment data | New

Instructors can now export group enrollment data from the Groups tool to support easier attendance tracking, group-specific class lists, and contact list creation.
The Manage Groups tool is located in the course navigation bar under the Tools drop-down menu, labeled 'Groups. A new Export button now appears in the Groups tool for users with the Manage Groups and Categories permission. Instructors can use this button to export group data to a CSV file. The exported content includes:
•    Group category details
•    Group names
•    User enrollment information
•    Enrollment dates
You can choose a specific group or all groups within a selected category to include in the export.

Previously, there was no built-in method to export group data or user enrollment dates from the Groups tool.

Pulse – View recurring events | New

Pulse now displays recurring events from the Events tab. This ensures that any recurring events that an instructor creates using the Calendar tool are properly displayed in Pulse. Previously, recurring events did not display in Pulse.

Quick Eval – Evaluate learners across Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes | New

This release enables instructors to quickly go through their list of submissions in Quick Eval, even if those submissions are sourced from different activity types or courses. For example, an instructor has activities to grade in Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes, and has been assigned items that appear in Quick Eval Submissions. The instructor directly accesses each submission to evaluate the items instead of navigating back to Quick Eval and going into each item again.
Previously, instructors had to click into each submission to view the evaluation and then click Back to Quick Eval to go to the Submissions view and then find the next submission to evaluate. With this release, instructors are redirected to the next evaluation as listed in the Quick Eval.

From the Submissions view, select a submission and click on the linked learner’s name. In the activity evaluation page, use the forward and backward arrows to toggle to the next or previous learner to evaluate.
Figure: From the Submissions view, select a submission and click on the linked learner’s name. In the activity evaluation page, use the forward and backward arrows to toggle to the next or previous learner to evaluate.

•    D8199 (Auto Advance to next item in Quick Eval)

This continuous delivery update is scheduled for May 23rd.
