New features

  • A teacher can now send notifications during a test to all test takers.

  • We've added a 'custom' release option for tests, so teachers can choose what parts of a test they release: score / students' answers / score per questions / solutions.

  • When grading a test, we now color the breadcrumb of unanswered questions (gray) differently from incorrectly answered questions (red).

Teacher

  • We've updated the enumeration of exercises in the course material tab, so that it better reflects the numbers that students see in their breadcrumbs when practicing a package.

  • We've added a class setting for teachers to enable the calculator during practice.
