+
+* Course teams can now include a new type of component, a randomized content
+  block, in their courses. These components randomly draw problems from a
+  predefined library of components and present them to learners.
+
+  You create and maintain libraries of components separately from courses. All
+  of an organization's course teams can work collaboratively to develop the
+  problems that the libraries contain. Each library can then be referenced by
+  randomized content blocks in any of that organization's courses. For more
+  information, see `Working with Libraries`_.
+
+* Open response assessments can now include more than one prompt or
+  question. A single rubric is used to grade all of the prompts in the
+  assessment. For more information, see `Creating Peer Assessments`_.
+
+* When you add an HTML component to a course outline and select the Full
+  Screen Image Tool, IFrame Tool, or Zooming Image Tool, revised example
+  templates now appear. The descriptions and procedures in the
+  templates now include additional detail, including how to provide 
+  accessible labels for your learners.
+
+* A problem with the file locking feature on the **Files & Uploads** page is
+  now resolved. To lock a file, click the lock icon that appears near it.
