New features added this week

  1. New assessment permissions
    1. New course-level permissions have been added to the Permissions grid, giving administrators more flexibility to customize role responsibilities within individual courses. The following permissions can now be enabled by role at the course level:

      2. Give (or ungive) assessments for learners
      3. Hide (or unhide) assessments
      4. Edit assessment start and end dates
      5. Manage assessment proctors
    2. By default, these permissions are enabled and editable for Administrators, Course instructors, and Course co-instructors. The permissions are disabled by default, but can be enabled for Course TAs. The permissions are locked for Content administrators and monitors.
