  • UI & API Integration: Full integration across the application for consistent date management.
  • Database Migrations: Includes new tables for recurring schedules (courses_recurring_schedules, courses_recurring_schedules_days_of_week) and specific dates (courses_specific_dates).

👁️ Instructor Quiz Preview

Instructors can now preview quizzes before publishing:

  • Live Preview: See exactly what students will see during a quiz attempt.
  • Tracking: Enhanced tracking with the new is_preview flag on submissions to distinguish preview attempts from student work.

    • Grade & Feedback: Directly record numerical grades and qualitative feedback.
    • Grading Attribution: Tracks who graded the submission and when (graded_by_id, graded_at).
  • Nested Quiz Tracking: New detailed tracking for nested quizzes within attempts, including started and completed timestamps.

Technical Improvements

🔧 Context & State Management Refactor

  • User Access Context: Refactored user access management for better performance and clarity.
