Tabula 29 (Copper) - 26th February 2013 - Release notes

Tabula version 29 was released on Tuesday 26th February 2013. The main visible improvements and changes are:

Assigning personal tutors to students

You can now assign a personal tutor to a student directly from their student profile. This allows you to optionally send notification emails to the student, tutor and the previous tutor, if relevant.

General improvements and fixes

  • You can now link a single assignment to multiple assessment groups in Coursework Management.
  • A bug that caused errors when lots of people tried to download their feedback at the same time has been fixed
  • Students will no longer appear twice on the submission/feedback page under certain circumstances
  • Unsubmitted assignments no longer incorrectly get the "Within extension" label if the extension has expired
  • Adding marks using a spreadsheet no longer breaks on empty cells
  • Assignments in a different department to their assessment group are now editable
  • Markers who aren't also module managers can now correctly add marks
