itslearning-2024.8.3 released product updates

Written by itslearning | Aug 12, 2024

Accessibility fix: Title labels

To help screen reader users understand pages with the editor, the editor needs an understandable and descriptive title attribute. After investigation we found two places this was missing, those are now added.

Changes are done in the following places:

  • Courses > Course > Resources > Add Discussion (open Add discussion page into new tab)
  • Courses > Course > Resources > Add Task (open Add task page into new tab)

Discontinuation: Open module applications in the existing window

As preparation for the ongoing work to remove iframes in itslearning (Admin pages will have these removed in late July), we need to remove the option to open module applications inside the itslearning window, as this functionality relies on iframes. All 3rd party module applications will now open in a new window (tab).

The setting is removed from the module application setup.

Small update to date picker in the planner

When a teacher sets a start date for a plan, the stop date is automatically suggested as the same day. If the teacher realizes they have selected the wrong start date and changes it while the cursor is still in the start date field, the stop date will also update to match the new start date. For example, if the start date is changed from 11/09 to 12/09, the stop date will also change to 12/09. Previously, the stop date had to be manually adjusted if the start date was changed.
