Ultra Document: Auto-generate knowledge check question

We expanded AI‑assisted authoring to support generating multiple-choice Knowledge Checks within Documents. This enhancement allows instructors to create just‑in‑time formative assessments using AI‑generated questions based on the content of their Document and any selected course materials.

Tests: Question Title field relocated

To reduce confusion identified through user feedback, we moved the Question Title field from the beginning of the question authoring workflow to the bottom, underneath the Question metadata field. Moving this field ensures that titles remain an optional metadata element and reduces cognitive load during question creation.

This is an example of a question and where you will find the metadata:

1. Ensure that the Question metadata slider (below the question) is green.
2. This is the new place for the Question title.
3. Question tags are also located here.

Tests: Partial credit limits removed for Multiple Choice and Multiple Answer (range of –100% to +100% now accepted)

We updated the partial credit system for Multiple Choice and Multiple Answer questions to allow instructors to assign credit values without the requirement that all designated values sum to 100%. This change supports more flexible grading strategies and enables instructors to represent varying levels of conceptual understanding without adjusting values to meet a fixed total.

The system now allows instructors to enter any partial credit value for each option within a range of –100% to +100%. Validation continues to warn instructors if total values exceed 100%, but it no longer blocks question setup. Instructors may now also enter positive credit values for options that are not marked as the correct answer. The total partial credit value for correct answers should be at least 100%, and it may exceed 100%.
Negative marking continues to operate when enabled. Instructors can adjust credit values during regrading as well.

Use case

Graded Discussions: Second due date

Instructors can now set two separate due dates with distinct participation requirements for Discussions, offering clearer expectations and more structured engagement. Students benefit from transparent progress tracking and updated indicators as they complete requirements across both due dates.

Use case:
If you’d like students to develop and share their own ideas before engaging with one another, use the Second Due Date option to structure the discussion in two clear phases. Students submit their initial post by the First Due Date, then use the time between deadlines to read widely and, by the Second Due Date, contribute only peer replies (not new arguments), which supports more equitable participation and more coherent dialogue.

This two-step structure also aligns well with Social Presence in the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework, which emphasises learners being perceived as “real people” through affective expression, open communication, and group cohesion. By separating “posting” from “replying,” you create space for more intentional, respectful responses (open communication) and for students to acknowledge, build on, and connect ideas across the group (group cohesion), rather than racing to post and reacting immediately.

Take these steps:

1. Go to the Discussion.
2. Access the Settings.
3. Ensure that the Grade discussion option is ticked.
4. Add the first due date.
5. To add the second due date, ensure that you tick the option "Second due date" and add the date and time.
6. Stop discussions - allows you to stop the students from responding to the discussion. They will still be able to read all the posts.
