Tabula version 39 (Yttrium) was released on Thursday 18th July 2013. The main visible improvements and changes are:

Tabula Sandbox

We've created a new instance of Tabula as a "Sandbox" where you can play around with new features. All the data on this system is fictional. If you'd like access, please email tabula at warwick dot ac dot uk.

General improvements and fixes

  • We've re-worked the user picker to be cleaner and easier; just type names into the box now
  • We've worked on improving the performance of student photos, particularly when showing many on a page
  • Students with multiple current courses are now shown correctly in Student Profiles
  • Where you don't have permission to perform an action, we'll now explain that when you hover over a disabled button
  • Tabula now correctly sends .odt files to Turnitin
  • Student Profiles has been re-designed to display tab and gadget views
  • Uploading non-xlsx files to mark upload now correctly displays an error
  • Submission receipts are now available for students post-submission and post-feedback in Coursework Management
  • A bug that caused the top-left of the screen to be un-clickable in IE10 has been fixed
  • The email receipt for an extension request in Coursework Management now has the correct link
  • A change in Turnitin behaviour that caused generic assignment/class names to be used has been fixed
  • A bug that caused some students to not have a photo on their profile has been fixed
