Testi-työkalu: Opettajat voivat ohittaa kysymyksen automaattisen pistemäärän oppilasta arvioidessaan.

Over the years, we have had several requests for teachers to be able to change the automatically calculated score of a question when they are assessing a student submission. There may be errors in the question or alternatives, or they realise that one of the answers is in fact partially correct while it is marked as wrong. Manual scoring has until now only been available for some question types, and only if set in the question, in which case the teacher needs to manually assess all submissions for that question. We have now made it possible to edit the score of any question. After edit, the total score and grade for the submission will be recalculated.

Editing the score is available in the assessment page, accessed by clicking a submission in the result list. The changed score is saved as soon as you click outside the score field or tab to the next item.

Note that there is an option for administrators to disable this feature in rare cases where overriding the automatic score is not acceptable. The option is found in Admin > Global settings > Features and security. See section Tools and content. Disabling the feature will disable it for all tests on the site.

New course menu - admin can select course profile to use for 'student view'

The old 'view as' feature allowed users to select from all profiles (with security level below their own) when viewing the course as a different profile. Research has shown that this is too complex, and what teachers need is a simple way to see what the course looks like for the average student. So we simplified to the new 'student view' option. However some organisations have multiple course profiles that are all students. Currently the first profile (based on profile ID) will be used, and we have now added a course profile setting to allow administrators to determine which profile should be used. After release, the currently used profile will be selected. It is not possible to enable this for more than one profile.

Esteettömyyskorjaus: Apukuvakkeiden puuttuneet merkinnät ja linkkitekstit

Kahdessa paikassa oli ohjesivuille viittaava apukuvake, josta puuttui merkintä ja linkkiteksti. Nämä on nyt lisätty, jotta linkit ovat ymmärrettäviä ruudunlukijan käyttäjille.

New design: updating 'sub-menus' in other pages

As part of our updated design, we are now changing the look and feel of other 'sub-menus' similar to match the new course menu. This affects the menus in Calendar and Library. It also fixes an accessibility issue identified in Library.
