CloudDeakin August Release (25/8/23)

1. Quizzes -
   • A new create and edit experience for Quizzes. The redesigned create and edit screen in Quizzes has the same layout as Assignments, making it familiar and easy to learn.
   • This release also updates the Quiz creation experience for staff by simplifying the quiz timing setup workflow, adding useful new features, including the ability to auto-submit, and removing obsolete quiz timing options.
   • The new addition of synchronous quizzes enables teaching staff to set up a quiz where the quiz timer starts on the start date for all students rather than when the student launches the quiz (asynchronous). The quiz timer then ends for all students at the same time. See Quizzes guide for more details.
2. Rubrics - To provide a more complete context for student evaluation, rubric pop-outs now provide activity details including activity title, site name, student name, and evaluator name.
3. Class Progress - Class Progress to better align the login date and the absent period. When viewing data for Site Access, Login History, and System Access History, the absent period now correlates to the login date on the same line.
