We’ve been busy over the 2024-2025 academic year making your experience with Hawkes even better. Here’s a quick roundup of recent changes you’ll want to know about:
A Smoother Navigation Experience
We’ve updated the platform navigation to make it easier to find what you need, faster. Whether you’re setting up assignments, checking reports, or managing your sections, the new left-hand layout is designed to streamline your workflow.
As an added bonus, this update has also increased processing speeds and laid the groundwork for our teams to make more impactful enhancements to the platform in the future.
Respondus Monitor Now Available— Now With Chromebook Compatibility!
We upgraded our Respondus Monitor integration! The new and improved integration creates a smooth, unified workflow that allows instructors to manage everything from setup to review directly in their Hawkes Teach account. No more switching between systems or juggling different platforms.
Students can now test on their Chromebooks using the new Respondus Monitor integration—no lab access or alternate devices needed. They’ll just install a quick extension from the Chrome Web Store using the Chrome browser.

Configure Sections Enhancement
Simply create your new sections, then copy over all settings and assignments from another section—no need to start from scratch.
- Gain more control over which policies apply to each section
- Personalize your setup with fewer steps
- Enjoy a smoother, time-saving experience when getting ready for a new term
2,500+ New Questions Available!
We don’t just guess what instructors want, we listen! Based on direct input from instructors like you, we launched a catalog-wide Question Bank Enhancement Project initiative in December 2024 to strengthen our question banks across multiple titles. The goal? Better alignment with your instructional needs through more variety, increased rigor, and improved coverage.
