QMplus Release - 16th December 2014
18 November 2014, 11:53
Dear colleagues,
After back and forth on an agreeable date, we have finalised a date and time to apply an update to QMplus. This update will provide fixes to issues reported with the Marking Report and the Gapfill Quiz Question Type. There will also be some (hopefully welcomed) enhancements to the QMplus environment. See details below.
Date/Time of the Release
The update will need to extend beyond our scheduled at risk period (Tuesdays 7-9am) and so we have decided to postpone its release until after term time.
The next QMplus release is now scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 16th December 2014 between 7am-11am.
QMplus will experience some unavoidable disruption to normal service during this time. Please can I ask that any QMplus activities needing to take place after the end of term be scheduled outside of this planned release date/time to avoid problems.
What's included in the Release?
Details of the release are available on our QMplus December Release Webpage. The web page will be updated with finalised items as we get closer to the release date, so please keep checking the QMplus December Release Webpage for up to date information.
In summary, some items you can expect to see include:
- Marking Report fix
- Gapfill Question Type fix
- Staff Cohorts - ability to bulk enrol staff onto courses (within faculties/schools)
- Module Overview page - users can now move around their courses on this page
- Recent Courses - view/access the last 6 courses visited
- Site News - a 'ticker tape' news feed at the top of the QMplus site
- Alert Message - for critical QMplus messages
- Course Profile Block - to highlight professional development QMplus courses
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Best Wishes,
Alysa
