Here are all the enhancements from June 2023:

We have enabled Word Count for Free Response questions! Teachers can toggle the option "Display Word Count" and will see the count in View Responses. Students will also see the count as they complete the question.

Teachers can now choose to surface the math keyboard for answer input on Multiple Choice, Multiple Selection, Matching, Resequence, Inline Choice, and text Drag and Drop question types. Teachers will no longer have to go into the rich text editor menu . The toggle for "Show math keyboard" is located in setting under Formative Editor Options.

We upgraded the look and functionality of the Class Management pages. Now, the main Classes page will display all classes in the form of tiles along with some quick action buttons and a top-level view of most recent formatives and class data.

Clicking into any of your classes will lead you to a brand new Student Management page, where all actions of adding and managing rosters will be handled. An exiciting new capability offered on this page is the ability to view formatives by class!

Further enhancing teachers' ability to draw meaningful data, an individual Student Profile page has been added as well. This page will present data specific to a student within a specific class.

Teachers can now add labels to their Score Threshold categories

We have added a Student Submissions toggle to allow teachers to choose to receive notifications as students submit assignments. Teachers can also choose to narrow down their notifications to only late submissions. Enabling or disabling these notifications can be performed on the teacher's account settings page.

Similarly, we added an option for teachers to enable receiving notifications when students request to view a hint they've added to questions.

Feedback fields will now show teachers their most recent feedback sent as a way to re-use it quickly.

We improved Show Your Work by making the protractor tool resizable. This gives more flexibility as students take measurements on screen

Teachers can now opt to accept multiple selections in Match-Table-Grid questions!

Teachers can now open and close formatives they own in bulk from their Formatives page. Not only can teachers select multiple formatives to open or close at once, the same formative(s) can be closed for several classes at once too! Check out the help article for more details.

Teachers can now add explanations to answer choices within Multiple Choice, Multiple Selection, and True/False questions. These explanations, once entered, will pop up as immediate feedback when students receive their scores. Check out the help article for more details.

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

Teachers can opt in to this Beta feature to allow their students to create practice sets of flashcards. Teachers can also create practice sets using a preview environment that mimics the student experience. Teachers will be able to generate practice sets both with and without usage of Ai.

Ai Hint generation will now acknowledge a user's preferred language to determine the language of the hint.

We modified the Ai Generated Formative modal- renaming 'trivia' to 'quiz' , changing the dropdown to radio buttons and defaulting the type to 'Quiz'.

Not only have we added the option to enter answer choice explanations, we added this capability to our Ai generator as well! Teachers can use Ai to generate explanations for single answer choices or for all answer choices at once. Read more about this new feature here.

Every techonological 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!

Previously, enabling a Rubric on Short Answer questions required toggling on Show Your Work as well. We have removed this dependency and now rubrics can be toggled on without Show Your Work being added too.

A long time ago teachers were able to add questions directly to the top of a formative. At some point in time this capability disappeared. We have now brought it back! There is no longer a need to add questions to the bottom of a formative only to move them up to the top. .

Categorize, Multiple Selection, Hot Text and Hot Spot question types had a cumbersome and complicated Partial Credit grading logic that didn't align with the rest of the question types in our platform. We released an updated Partial Credit grading logic to align across the site.

We have moved all closed assignments to the "Submitted" tab on the student homepage. Previously, we ignored the open/closed status when deciding which tab to put an assignment in, so closed assignments could end up in either tab. After these changes, all closed assignments will now live in the “Submitted” tab.
