This release focused on improving the manual grading experience for instructors and addressing reported issues affecting students and instructors.
Instructors now have the ability to grade all short answer, essay, PencilPad, file-upload, and Show My Work questions using the Grade Answers link on the Scores page for an assignment. This functionality replaces the separate Show My Work and Essay/Files grading options.
You can still choose to grade answers one question at a time, or grade answers only for selected students.
For more information, see Grade Answers.
The following textbooks are available in WebAssign as of February 23.
