🆕 Enhancement releases

We've been busy! Here's a sneak peek at our latest new features and improvements:

Student Practice Tab Organization

We significantly enhanced the Student Practice page (in student accounts), enabling students to more efficiently manage their work with powerful new search, filter, and sort functionalities. Students can now personalize their view by filtering practice sets by class or creation source ("Created by Me," "All"), and quickly find content by sorting by update date or title.

Secure Browser: Manage Paused Students and Overlapping Sessions

We introduced a new "Incident" modal on the responses tab to help teachers efficiently manage secure browser sessions. This interface displays students who are currently paused due to security triggers or have overlapping sessions. Teachers can now review these incidents in a centralized view and perform bulk actions, such as unpausing students or invalidating overlapping sessions, directly from the modal.

🤖 Beta and Early Access Features Updates

The below features have been added to our list of future features teachers can opt-in to test with us:

Math Live Virtual Keyboard

We're implementing a new way for the Math Keyboard to display on your screen, in a way that will not block the view of answer fields or content. Head over to your account's settings page to opt-in for Early Access of this upgraded experience!

🛠️ Fixes

Every technological tool runs into hiccups here and there. If you run into any technical issues please submit a report to our team so we could go ahead and fix it!

Prevent Audio Downloads in Secure Browser

We addressed a security vulnerability where students taking assessments in a secure browser could download embedded audio files. The audio player components our editors have been updated to disable download functionality when the secure browser environment is detected, ensuring assessment content remains secure and cannot be exported during testing.

Relocated Question Type Selector

The "Change Question Type" action has been relocated from the inline selector to the three-dot overflow menu to declutter the interface and prevent accidental clicks.

The below bugs were resolved throughout the month

  • Scientific calculator glitching -
