Audio Recording in Tools
Users can now easily record and attach audio files in Dropbox, Discussions and News. When a user clicks the Record Audio button, a Flash (ActionScript) component collects audio data from users’ microphone and generates .wav files which are stored with the associated tool. Users can pause the recording, clear it and restart it.
Course Activity as Intelligent Agents Trigger
You can now use the Last Course Access date as a trigger for Intelligent Agents to send users email after a certain length of time passes. For example, using Intelligent Agents to send email messages to users such as “I noticed you haven’t accessed Accounting 101 in 2 weeks. Is everything okay?” is now possible. Previously, access-based Intelligent Agent notifications were only possible based on a user logging in to the system or not.
Use Dropbox Rubric points and feedback in Grades
The process of transferring a rubric score and feedback for a dropbox submission to the gradebook is now more streamlined. From the Leave Feedback page, instructors can now review submissions, complete the associated rubric, and scale/transfer the rubric score and feedback to the fields on the Leave Feedback page used for updating the gradebook, allowing the rubric score and feedback to be easily used within the Grades tool.
Desire2Learn Mobile Web now with Discussions
Users can now access the Discussions tool in from their mobile devices using Desire2Learn Mobile Web. They can navigate forum and topics, read messages, compose new messages, reply, subscribe to notifications, rate messages, search message posts, and flag messages. In addition, if users access the links in a discussion email notification from a mobile device, they are taken to the mobile version of the page for reviewing the message, topic, or forum.
