This feature updates the assignment availability dates to be consistent with the new availability date model already used in discussions. You can now include availability dates in the Calendar and have greater control over the behavior of availability dates for your students. As a result, you can:

• Stop late submissions.
• Let students view assignment information and submissions before it ends.
• Schedule the visibility of an assignment.
• Allow students to view an assignment while preventing them from attempting it.
• Post the start and end of an assignment in the Calendar.

To extend the text-to-speech support in iCollege, ReadSpeaker is now available in Discussions.

When sharing the screen, sometimes the control bar gets in the way of content, and the automatic opening and closing can be distracting. This update allows the bar to be dragged left and right across the screen to see the content behind it and manually opened/closed for better control of the menu.

You now have even more control over where and when you want to see your own video in meetings. You can still choose to either show your self-view with others or show your self-view in a floating window. But now you can also hide your self-view altogether, or only hide it when the video is off. Self View settings can be found in the Meeting Settings window under the Video tab.
