These features and improvements are now live!
More Scanning Options
When you choose to scan bubble sheets, you’ll see a prompt giving you the option to try our new browser-only scanning option, which enables scanning in other browsers (like Edge, Safari, and Firefox), scanning with Chromebooks, and scanning without having to install any browser plugin or extension!
Upgrades to the Student Portal (Engage & Learn)
- New design for passages to be viewed with related questions answerable on the slide.

Updated Clicker Interface
All of our clicker screens have been updated and enhanced for a more pleasing appearance that should be easier for students to get used to and read.

Several reports now have a convenient way to view student work (essays, for example) submitted with student devices.
Sub-Group Report Update
By popular request, we’ve now added the numbers of students in sub-group report “buckets,” rather than only showing percentages. We’ve also given District Admins the ability to view district sub-group reports.
New Demographic Status: Continuously Enrolled
We’ve added a new demographic setting for schools to track those students who are not continuously enrolled.
