Stay in the loop and up to the minute on new features, improvements, and information you need.

These new features and enhancements are now available!

Interface Improvements for Editing Lessons
We have greatly improved the user experience when loading very large Lessons and Assessments. For example, the user now sees feedback stating which slide is being loaded out of the total.

PowerPoint Imports Improved
We have released the next iteration of the PowerPoint® PPTX Importer. We are now handling clip-art and have improved support for text boxes.

Vimeo Video Support
You can now link to videos stored in the Vimeo® site!

Searching Item Banks by Standards
We’ve updated the view you get when you’ve chosen to search for your item banks by standards.

In the example below, I’ve searched for the Common Core 8th Grade Math standard, MA.8.8.NS.1

Notice the placement of the Standards Labels below the questions.

Notice that the Questions are selected automatically if they match my search criteria.

Printing Lessons
We have added Question numbers to the questions and removed some extraneous “slide” numbers below the slides in the print feature. This should help with any confusion regarding which question the student should be marking on their Bubble Sheet.

Eduphoria! (Almost)
With this release, we have laid the foundation for the integration with Eduphoria!’s
SchoolObjects:Aware® product. We are working closely with Eduphoria! to finalize the integration and prepare for some co-marketing. Stay tuned.

That’s it for this edition of ALL In News. If you would like more information on how to use any of the features listed here, please feel free to shoot me an email or call!
