For teachers
Single activity course format
This new format allows teachers to choose just one activity which is displayed as soon as the students click on the course. It replaces the SCORM course format.
Marking workflow and allocation
Teachers can now control visiblity of grades for students until for example they have been reviewed and moderated. Teachers can be allocated to mark individual student assignments and these allocations show up clearly in the gradebook.

When students upload assignments as pdfs, the teacher can feedback directly on the file, using stamps, phrases from a comment bank and a variety of annotating tools.
More detailed feedback for Certainty-based marking in Quizzes
