Improved Assignments UI and UX

The assignment tabs for both backend and frontend have been updated to bring it in line with our newest design language. This new UI allows you to sort and view all existing assignments submitted by the students. 

You can also filter them by categories, date, and a newly added search box. 

Backend Assignment Menus

The backend assignments menu will let you view all submitted assignments where instructors can go in to check and evaluate the submitted assignments. 

Frontend Assignment Menus

The frontend menu can be found in the instructor dashboard and will show all existing assignments.

An instructor can then click on the details to view the submitted assignments to evaluate pending assignments.

Text Prompts for Better Administrative Feedback

We have added 2 new text prompts for better feedback from the Tutor LMS subsystem. This allows administrators to have a better idea of what changes they are making. From this update, you will get a confirmation notice whenever you are saving settings or any form of data on Tutor LMS in the WP Admin panel. 

Your instructors will also receive a message confirming when they submit a course for review.

Other Fixes

When student enrolments are updated, old versions of Tutor LMS were sending more than 1 email notifications to students. This issue has been fixed and now only 1 will be sent to the students. 

We have fixed the buttons in the last page of the Tutor LMS setup wizard to link to the correct pages. Moreover, we have also addressed the quiz import issue to work correctly. 

We have also issued several other fixes to the plugin to ensure better stability and performance.
