Improving the User Experience is a continued goal at Instructure. Finishing up 2013, we saw a redesign to the Groups page, Quizzes, Calendar 2, the Gradebook, Etherpad and the Rich Content Editor!
- Groups: sidebar was removed to maximize the Group view; Group and Group set buttons were added; and a new gear icon allows group members to edit, delete and access the Group homepage
- Quizzes: Quiz options are now expanded; instructors can allow students to see correct answers within a date range; and for multiple attempts see quiz responses only after the last attempt
- Calendar 2: an agenda was added
- Gradebook: column attributes allow for resizing frozen columns – however, stickiness is browser-specific; downloaded csv files now place the Test Student at the bottom; keyboard shortcuts have been added
- Etherpad: new collaborations open in a new browser tab and have condensed menus to be less intrusive
- Rich Content Editor: Superscripts and Subscripts have been added to the standard editing tools.
