Our development team has launched some exciting new features on our platform, specifically aimed at supporting your course instruction and ensuring your students’ success. Watch the video below and read on to learn more about these updates.


Inactive Students

You asked, we answered! This highly-requested update allows you to hide inactive students from All Student Scores and Assignment Reviewer, two of the key reports, so that you can focus your attention on the students actively working in your course. Hiding inactive students will also prevent their scores from impacting your overall course data, such as class averages and question analytics.  If you enroll into your section as a student to experience the course from the student perspective, you can hide yourself from reports as well! 

Note that while inactive students will still be accessible through the Detailed Student Grades Report, they will be marked as (hidden). We plan to add this functionality to Search by Criteria soon!

To mark a student as hidden: 

  1. Go to the “Tools” tab → Select “Manage Students”
  2. Select the checkbox beside the name of the student(s) you would like to hide from the key reports
  3. Select “Key Report Visibility” from the menu at the bottom of the page and choose “Hide Student”
  4. Once the student has been successfully hidden, “Hidden” will appear in the “Key Report Visibility” column. 

To “Show” a hidden student: 

  1. Go to the “Tools” tab → Select “Manage Students”
  2. Select the checkbox beside the student name(s) you would like to unhide from the key reports
  3. Select “Key Report Visibility” from the menu at the bottom of the page and choose “Show Student”
  4. Once the student has been unhidden, the word “Hidden” will be removed from the “Key Report Visibility” column. 

Improved Question Builder Usability

A scroll bar has been added to the following modals in Question Builder for easier navigation:

  • Expression Builder
  • Graph Builder
  • Insert Image
  • Insert Table
  • Permissions
  • Preview
  • Variable Manager

New Welcome Screens for Students

A new welcome screen has been added for students as they enter each lesson in Learn, providing a more consistent and visually engaging experience.  This is the first phase of an exciting project to more fully integrate the imagery from our textbooks into the software.


Additional Updates

  • Screen reader compatibility enhancements to ensure clarity and an overall smoother experience for students with visual impairments.
  • Additional experience improvements and bug fixes for both students and instructors
