Each year, LearnZone and Teams go through an annual rollover process, and it\u2019s important that all teaching staff are aware of what\u2019s involved<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please take a few minutes to visit our blog<\/a>, where you\u2019ll find all the key information and steps you need to follow to get everything ready for the new academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rollover will take place during CPD week, from Wednesday, 1st July <\/strong>to Friday, 3rd July<\/strong>, to minimise disruption to teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to hide Turnitin grades in LearnZone\u2019s Gradebook<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n

Turnitin now releases grades in LearnZone\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0Gradebook<\/strong>\u00a0as soon as they are entered during marking. This has created an issue where students can see their grade before the Turnitin\u00a0Feedback Release Date<\/strong>. Although students are unable to view their feedback until the release date, their grade is still visible in LearnZone’s Gradebook. This can lead to confusion and undermine the intended feedback release process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To prevent this, you will need to include an additional step when setting up your assignment. Learn more in our blog.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
