Availability dates in the Discussions list are now displayed as a simple date range below the titles of discussion topics.

This release updates the Quiz Creation experience for instructors by simplifying the quiz timing setup workflow, adding useful new features, including the ability to auto-submit, and removing obsolete quiz timing options.

The following workflow changes and advanced Quiz Timing options are now available for instructors:

• The updated settings allow instructors to choose if they want to set a time limit by selecting the Set time limit checkbox, which is cleared by default. If Set time limit is selected, instructors can add a Time Limit and edit the Timer Settings.
• The previous Prevent the student from making further changes option has been changed to Automatically submit the quiz attempt. Quiz auto-submission automatically hands in quizzes on enforced time limit quizzes at the end of the set time, improving quiz integrity. This behavior is changed on all existing and in-progress quizzes with the update.
  Note: The Automatically submit the quiz attempt option is now the default setting for all newly created quizzes with a time limit and is used automatically if the instructor does not edit the quiz timing settings. The previous default setting was Allow the student to continue working.
• The previous Allow the student to continue working option has been changed to Flag the attempt as exceeded time limit and allow the student to continue working. This behavior is changed on all existing and in-progress quizzes with the update.
• The Grace Period and Allow student to continue working but automatically score zero options are removed to further streamline the process of quiz creation. With this update, any existing and in-progress quizzes that include these settings are changed to the following new behavior:
  • A quiz that previously had a grace period now uses the time limit set on the quiz.
  • A quiz previously set to Allow student to continue working but automatically score zero now sets the quiz to Automatically submit the quiz attempt.

Students will also see some changes in how Quiz Timing is displayed:

• Option to show or hide the timer to reduce anxiety during quiz taking.
  Note: Once a student sets their preference, the setting preserves across all quizzes.
• Warnings displayed at certain times to support awareness of time left. The following warnings are applied:
  • 1 minute remaining on the quiz
  • 5 minutes remaining (only on quizzes with 10 minutes or longer quiz time limit)
  • Half of the elapsed time (only on quizzes with 20 minutes or longer quiz time limit)

 Please review the Quizzes Timing Display article to familiarize yourself with the new workflow.
