Hawkes is heading into the summer with a few key updates to improve your experience. Watch our video overview or read on to learn more.
Video Menu Added to “Watch” Feature
The Watch feature in Learn mode has been expanded to include a new video menu displaying all example and lesson-level videos for each lesson. Students can scroll through the menu via the “Prev” and “Next” buttons.
Additionally, audio transcripts are available to download as a Microsoft Word document below videos.
“Show Work”: Upload an Image File
On Show Work-enabled WebTest questions, students can now upload a file containing their work instead of typing in the text box below the question. They may still opt to use the text box feature if they choose.
- Supports .PNG, .JPEG, .GIF, and .TIFF files
- Instructors can access files in Assignment Reviewer
- Students can access files when reviewing a test
- Uploaded files are stored in the file system and can be purged when resetting attempt data or deleting a test or students
- Max 10 MB file size and 1 file upload allowed per question
New Submission Status in Student “To-Do List”
The student To-Do List now contains a new Closed submission status type for past-due tests that do not allow late submissions. Students will not be able to complete Closed tests, which will appear at the bottom of the list.
WebTest Objective Reports: New “Code Status” Column
A new Code Status column has been added to WebTest Objective Reports to distinguish between students with active and deactivated Student Access Codes.
Question Builder: Bulk Actions
You may now select multiple questions to move, copy, or delete. To access this feature in Question Builder, click Select under Folder Options. You may select by question or folder in multi-select mode.
Note: When moving between single and multi-select mode, all folder and question selections will be reset.
A new Summary view for multi-select mode has also been created to help distinguish between several questions at once. The Summary tab shows how many questions you’ve selected, their names and folders, and allows easy deselection.
“Grades Report” Icon Update: Diagnostics Test Credit
A new Lesson Status icon denotes students who have taken a diagnostic test and received credit for a lesson based on their test performance. It is represented by an inverted green check mark. This helps clarify which students earned credit via Certify versus a diagnostic test.
