Continuous Delivery Updates for May 2025

Students and Instructors

Notifications – Unsubscribe from all

To improve user experience and reduce unwanted emails, notification emails from CourseLink now include an Unsubscribe link. Selecting the link opens a confirmation screen that allows users to opt out of email notifications, including instant and summary notifications.

Previously, users without login access could not unsubscribe unless they logged in to adjust their notification settings.

The Unsubscribe All Notifications confirmation page appears after clicking Unsubscribe in an email. — Figure: The **Unsubscribe All Notifications** confirmation page appears after clicking **Unsubscribe** in an email.

Pulse – View recurring events

Pulse now displays recurring events from the Events tab. This ensures that any recurring events that an instructor creates using the Calendar tool properly displays in Pulse. Previously, recurring events did not display in Pulse.

Quizzes – Enhanced Learner Submission View

The quiz submission page now features a sleeker, modernized layout. The previous banner image has been replaced with a checkmark icon, along with other visual updates.

Dropbox – Retract feedback in bulk on the Submissions

The Submissions page in the Dropbox tool now aligns with Discussions and Quizzes, allowing instructors to retract feedback in bulk. This enhancement improves consistency and eliminates the need to use multiple tools for retraction tasks.

The bulk Retract Feedback option allows instructors to choose how many learners to retract published feedback from.

A confirmation dialog displays the number of learners affected. Click Retract to proceed or Cancel to exit. The dialog shows 54 leaners assigned to this activity. You are retracting feedback for 4 learners. — Figure: A confirmation dialog displays the number of learners affected. Click **Retract** to proceed or **Cancel** to exit.

Groups – Export group enrollment data

Instructors can now export group enrollment data from the Groups tool to support group download, group-specific class lists, and contact list creation.

A new Export button now appears in the Groups tool for instructors. Instructors can use this button to export group data to a CSV file. The exported content includes:

Group category details
Group names
User enrollment information
Enrollment dates

You can choose a specific group or all groups within a selected category to include in the export.

From the Manage Groups page, click Export to download group data. The Export button is highlighted in red. — Figure: From the Manage Groups page, click **Export** to download group data.

Quizzes – Improved quiz monitoring with Session IDs in Attempt Logs

This release introduces the new Session ID column in quiz attempt logs.

When enabled, instructors can use session IDs to discern when learners have multiple sessions within a quiz attempt, helping detect potential academic dishonesty.

Check the Session ID column when viewing Attempt Logs > Detailed. The Session ID column is highlighted. The session records for Emily Salazar show 2 sessions with the same IP address. — Figure: Check the **Session ID** column when viewing **Attempt Logs** > **Detailed**.
