Collaborate Ultra and Chrome Version 58 Error

There is currently an issue with the latest version of Chrome and Collaborate Ultra.

Sessions that include a user sharing their video for more than ~30 minutes can expect their browsers to freeze/crash.

Until the issue is fixed we recommend using the FireFox browser.

HTML Editor

• A preview of math equations is now displayed inline when using the Math Editor to create quiz questions.
• An accessibility checker is now available within the editor.  The checker is accessed by clicking on an eye with checkmark in the bottom right of the editor. After content is added to the editor, a user can click the checker to ensure that the HTML page conforms to WCAG and Section 508 accessibility standards. The checker reviews the structure of the HTML page and either indicates that there are no issues, or offers suggestions to fix identified accessibility issues.

Quizzes

• "Long Answer" type question has been renamed "Written Response".
