Hawkes has released several updates to improve your user experience. Watch the video below and read on to learn more.
Assign Zero Point Value Questions
Questions in Test Builder can now be assigned a point value of zero. When students answer questions worth zero points, they are still evaluated as correct or incorrect but have no impact on grade.
Note: At least one question on a test must have a non-zero value. Bonus questions cannot be set to zero points.
Interface & Accessibility Updates
The Assignment Groups and Assignment Group Details pages in your Grade Book have been updated to provide greater ease of use as you organize class assignments and grading preferences.
We’ve also updated the student platform. On applicable test questions, the Show Work file upload feature is now more prominently displayed and includes a list of all acceptable file types and sizes.
In compliance with current accessibility standards, all bar charts in the software now include borders for added clarity.
Additional Updates
- To help you better identify single-iteration vs. multiple-iteration questions as you create tests, the New Values button has been removed from the Question Details area in Question Builder.
- Updates to the Assignment Builder popup message clarify how instructors should proceed if they try to edit another user’s locked test.
- Korean Standard Time (KST) has been added to the default time zone list in Manage Sections > Default Time Zone for instructors and in Portal > Settings > Account > Credentials for students.
