Sort participants by first or last name — Instructors can choose how participant names are sorted and displayed, from a menu on the participant name column. The choice applies across the gradebook, results, and section views.
YouTube videos on video slides — Video slides now accept a YouTube URL as a third video source, with duration detected automatically and support for a start time.
Ready-made slide variants — Two preset slides are now available: a pre-filled waiting room slide and an agenda slide.
Formatted slide deck descriptions — Slide deck previews now render the description with its formatting, so headings, links, and lists display properly.
Accessibility
The class invitation sign-in page now uses list structure that screen readers can navigate.
Keyboard users can now reach every chat on the Insights tab.
Improvements and fixes
Improved the consistency of automated grading and the accuracy of talk-time figures in CSV exports.
Clarified the tooltip for "show final score to participants": hiding scores in Breakout does not stop grades passing back to the Canvas or D2L gradebook.
