Fixed Bug with Turnitin
When editing settings for a Turnitin assignment, you will no longer see errors.

Improved Touch Screen and Tablet PCs Drag-and-Drop Functionality 
You can now drag files into Moodle from your desktop. Depending on your platform, moving activities or sections already on your course page may still not work reliably using touchscreen input, but should work fine using a touchpad or mouse.

Fixed Bug with Display of Nested Categories in Moodle Gradebook

For questions or help with nested categories in the Moodle gradebook, please contact the Instructional Media Lab (413-545-2823 or instruct@oit.umass.edu).
