One of the improvements is that all of the settings for each item are visible on a single page. It now handles weighting, extra credit and dropping the lowest score. Instructors can drop lowest score in a category. It is integrated with all of the tools. It represents a more efficient use of the tools.

Everything is now drag and drop.

There is now documentation with ten different kinds of syllabi and how you need to set up the gradebook to support those syllabi.
