These features and improvements are now live!

 

Text to Speech
IEP students can now highlight text in the Student Portal and hear it read aloud.

       

By default, Text to Speech is restricted to IEP students, but teachers can change this setting when activating the assessment for the Student Portal.

        

Note: Text to Speech will not work for uploaded PDF files or for text that is part of an image.

Sign In with ClassLink (Teachers and Students)
If your school uses ClassLink, teachers and students can now use the “Sign-In with ClassLink” button. Click the button and follow the steps to get set up!

Data Teams / PLCs Can Aggregate Data After the Fact
If your team members take the same assessment but it wasn’t distributed or shared as a common assessment (like an ALL In Learning Exit Ticket), teachers can now go to their Data Teams tab, select their PLC, and click “Add Sessions” to choose the individual session reports their team created to make them aggregate as PLC reports just like a common assessment.

        

 

Assign Grade and Subject for “On the Fly” Sessions for Cut-Score Reporting
After an On-the-Fly clicker or WebClicker session, you can now assign grade and subject tags for cut score reporting. Just open any cut score report for the session, click “Manage Cut Scores,” and set the subject and grade.
