- Quiz Editing Without Copying: For video quizzes, instructors can now update titles, adjust question wording, or tweak quiz settings (like preventing fast-forwarding or allowing unlimited attempts) without creating a new copy of the quiz. Instructors will receive a warning message if a change could affect existing quiz attempts by students, with a choice to edit the current quiz or create a new one.
- Review, Adjust, Sync Grades to the Gradebook: The grade book interface in YuJa has been updated to consolidate reviewing, adjusting, and syncing settings in one place. YuJa is connected to both Blackboard and Canvas, enabling automatic grade synchronization.
