Tabula 2019.4.2 released

We released Tabula 2019.4.2 on Thursday 18th April 2019. This release includes some improvements to the auditability of moderated work, and improvements to the way extension requests work.

  • In moderated marking workflows, submissions that were not selected to be moderated now show as "skipped" in the progress bar so that it's clear which submissions were seen by the moderator and which weren't. We've done our best to make this information available for past work, but unfortunately it wasn't possible for workflows where the moderator chooses which submissions to moderate, so these will show as all submissions being moderated. Going forward, this will show correctly for work going through moderation.
  • Assignments that don't collect submissions will now be shown to students in the "Upcoming" section prior to feedback being published. Where these assignments allow extensions, this also allows students to submit extension requests for assignments that don't collect submissions.
  • When a student has an extension request that's been approved or rejected, if a student submits another extension request this is treated as an additional extension request, rather than changing (and automatically unapproving) the existing one. This means there is a full history where multiple extensions are granted to a student on an assignment.
