K-State Online October updates

by Information Technology ServicesK-State Online Info graphic

Updates to Canvas were released on Oct. 8. Canvas operates on a monthly release cycle through which features are added or updated on the third weekend of the month.

To see all the new features and fixed bugs, view the complete October Release Notes. In addition to the Canvas release, Information Technology Services releases updates to services and integrations with K-State Online through the month as necessary.

The following updates have been made in K-State Online:

  • Concluded Course SpeedGrader Link — In concluded course assignments, instructors can view the SpeedGrader link in the sidebar. This change allows instructors easier access to view previous student work and comments in an assignment. This change also improves consistency with the SpeedGrader link throughout Canvas assessment feature areas and matches the link already found in graded discussions and quizzes.
  • Sidebar Course Names — The To Do, Coming Up, and other sections in the Dashboard sidebar display the course code (or short name) instead of the full name. However, if a user has set a nickname for the course, the sidebar defaults to the course nickname.
  • LTI Submission Icon — When a student submits an LTI assignment, the Gradebook displays the submission document icon instead of displaying a blank entry.
  • Question Bank Question Detail Answers — In question banks, users can click the Show Question Details link and view the correct answer indicator for each quiz question. Question details can be viewed in account- and course-level question banks.
