D2L Brightspace updates for April 2023. This update is scheduled for the evening of April 23, 2023.

This month’s updates for D2L Brightspace include:

  • Quizzes – Confirmation dialog for learners exiting a quiz | Updated

Quizzes – Confirmation dialog for learners exiting a quiz | Updated

This feature introduces a confirmation dialog box to learners closing in-progress quizzes. The dialog box is context-based, providing additional information about the impact of exiting the quiz (such as whether a learner will be able to return to their quiz after exiting).

Previously there was no dialog or warning to learners who exited a quiz accidentally or on purpose.

Note: The dialog only appears when the learner selects the button to close this quiz. Closing the browser window or tab does not display the confirmation dialog.

The learner view of a quiz appears with the X button highlighted.

The message shown when a student tries to exit a quiz depends on the time limit and end date settings for the quiz.

PCC offers this limited open forum as an extension of the respectful, well-reasoned discourse we expect in our classroom discussions. As such, we welcome all viewpoints, but monitor comments to be sure they stick to the topic and contribute to the conversation. We will remove them if they contain or link to abusive material, personal attacks, profanity, off-topic items, or spam. This is the same behavior we require in our hallways and classrooms. Our online spaces are no different.
