The December update introduces an improvement to Learning Module navigation, new discussion posts and late assignment submissions are now easier to identify. There is also a fix to an accessibility issue with images in Minerva Documents.

Navigation for LTI and SCORM Items within Learning Modules

Students can now use navigation arrows to the left and right of LTI tools, such as Turnitin and Gradescope, as well as SCORM items, to seamlessly move through learning modules.

Discussions: New post indicator

A "New" indicator displays next to posts and replies that you have not yet accessed, making new discussion activity easier to find and access.
