🆕 Enhancement releases
We've been busy! Here's a sneak peek at our August 2023 new features and improvements:
Teachers can now upload .wav and .mp3 audio files directly into formatives! This enhancement will support, among others, language teachers who prefer files rather than directly recording! Teachers will also see a progress bar as the file uploads! We will support more fie types soon!
Item Type Performance
Student performance data on specific ITEM TYPES is now a available in a widget on the Summary page!
Top 3 underperforming questions
"Top 3 Underperforming Questions" is now available in the formative Summary tab. An easier way for teachers to hone in on remediation.

Teachers can now link to an SSO account from the profile page's 'Login Methods' section. They will receive an email to confirm once the link is established.

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!
Moving forward the Responses tab will save and default to the sorting order preference teachers chose the last time they used the tab, so it will display in the same order the next time they navigate to the tab. The sort order will remain until the teacher changes it again.
