Simplified UI - As a reminder, this release completes the transition to the new Simplified authoring UI. The older Classic UI is no longer available. The single UI offers a unified, modern authoring experience and supports easier future enhancements.
New item and activity tagging improvements in the Content Manager - New items and activities now automatically inherit tags based on the current search criteria, streamlining organization with tag hierarchies during content authoring. This release also adds a configuration option to enable tag hierarchy browsing to help with organization in large item banks.
Update to latest LTS - This release includes an update to Learnosity version 2024.3.LTS. This Learnosity update provides new features and bug fixes. More information can be found here.
Improve API permission checks - Improved API permission to securely allow accessing assignments across different launch contexts.

Bug Fixes

Fixed issues with copying Grade Scales - Grade Scales were missing in Canvas-initiated course copies. Resolved a data type mismatch when processing payloads from Canvas by standardizing values to strings, ensuring proper Grade Scale lookups.

Version 24.12

Production: 3 December 2024

Features

Submission Data API - The Submission Push feature now allows Atomic Assessments to send a detailed JSON payload to external systems upon assessment completion. This payload includes comprehensive information such as:
- Student performance metrics.
- Question responses.
- Overall session details.
Multi-tab editor for text blocks - A new button has been added to the WYSIWYG editor in large text blocks (e.g., features, question stems) to add tabbed navigation. This multi-tab editor streamlines editing and organization of text within multi part questions. This feature is available as an optional feature flag that will be enabled by default in January.
Assessment tag hierarchy question search - A new feature flag introduces an enhanced question search experience by replacing the "Find Questions" button with a custom question finder. This new interface groups questions by leveled tags within a predefined hierarchy and allows you to preview questions and their associated feedback, and add selected questions to an assessment.

Version 24.11

Production: November 5, 2024

Features

Custom Gradescales - We have introduced custom grading scales, allowing instructors and administrators to define grading schemes that better fit their specific course or institution needs. This flexibility enables more tailored assessments and grading experiences. Administrators can create and edit global grading scales and instructors can create course level grading scales. Specify grading scale ranges using total points or percentages. Complex grading schemes can be copied and pasted from a CSV.
Add ReadSpeaker integration - The ReadSpeaker tool has been added as an optional integration to enhance accessibility. Students can have content read aloud, improving usability for individuals who benefit from audio support.
Remove Item Warning for 0-Point Questions - Previously, a warning appeared next to questions in assessment lists if they had zero maximum points, even when intended. Now, questions set to zero points (e.g., for informational purposes) will no longer show a warning icon.
Improve auto scrolling behavior - The scrolling experience has been refined for smoother navigation. Now, if an item is already visible on the screen, no scrolling will occur, making it easier to stay oriented when moving through content.
Option to Hide Correctly Answered Items in Student Review - An assessment setting has been added to allow instructors to hide correctly answered items during student review. When enabled, only incorrectly answered questions will appear, helping students focus on areas needing improvement.
Support for Exporting and Importing Activities with Reference Items - You can export and import activities with embedded reference items in the navigation, such as a "Resources" button for referencing items like a periodic table. Activities can be imported without errors and copied across courses using “Push Updates” or “Publish Version”.
Add autosave for assessments set to “show all questions on one page” - Assessments set to "Show all questions on one page" were not autosaving student responses, which means student responses are only saved at the end when submitted. These assessments will now autosave every fifteen seconds to match other assessment behavior.

Bug Fixes

Respondus proctoring settings error - An issue was resolved where proctoring could be activated without selecting Respondus. Now, toggling proctoring correctly aligns with the selected proctoring tools.
Item List Highlighting After Save - Editing multiple items within an assessment and saving would previously highlight all edited items upon return, not just the most recent edit. This fix ensures only the last edited item is highlighted, providing clearer feedback.
Pinning Removed for Feature Tiles - Feature tiles no longer display a non-functional pinning control. Pinning of features is not currently supported.
Consistent Back Button Behavior in Simplified UI Content Manager - The back button behavior in the Content Manager UI now aligns with the standard back button in other areas of Atomic Assessments. Rather than navigating through a history of tabs, the back button now returns directly to the main assessment list page, making navigation more predictable.
Fix error that sometimes occurred for essay questions during student attempt review - An occasional error that was occurring when students attempted to review essay questions immediately after submission has been fixed.
Clicking Tooltips in Proctoring settings would save the assessment settings page - Previously, clicking on tooltips under Proctorio or Respondus settings would unintentionally save the settings page. This has been resolved, ensuring tooltips can be viewed without navigating away.
Fix Proctorio setting dependencies - Dependencies in Proctorio settings, such as "Record Room" and "Verify Video" requiring "Record Video" to be enabled, are now enforced to prevent launch errors.
Resolved Error in "Set a Custom List of Allowed Programs" with Respondus - An error in Atomic Assessments when setting a custom list of allowed programs with Respondus proctoring enabled has been resolved. This fix ensures that instructors can customize allowed applications without encountering function errors.
Fix support for Custom CSS Containing ‘>’ Character - Custom CSS that includes the ‘>’ character can now be used without causing issues in formatting, allowing for more complex styling.
Correct Activity Name in New Content Manager Activities - When creating a new activity in the Content Manager, the title field will no longer display the last entered activity name. Each new activity begins with a blank title for clarity.
Increased Import/Upload Capacity for Activities - Resolved a limitation that prevented uploading or importing more than 50 activities (including QTI, Learnosity exports, or Canvas quizzes). This increase restores functionality and improves import efficiency after a recent regression.

Version 24.10

Production: October 1, 2024

This month’s release focused on security patches, system updates, and bug fixes.

Bug Fixes

Question sampling settings overwriting - When tags were removed from items that were configured to sample, the sampling settings would reset instead of adjusting the sample size for the missing questions.
Remove the “Add Question” button when editing player settings - The “Add Question” button was displayed in the header of player settings during authoring. This has been removed.
Questions Report was sometimes truncating the user list - In cases where the questions report included over 100 users, the report sometimes truncated and failed to show the entire list of students.
Missing answer warning in the math essay questions with rich text - Math essay questions with a maximum score set were incorrectly showing a missing answer warning in the simplified UI item list.

Version 24.09

Production: September 3, 2024

This month’s release focused on security patches, system updates, backend enhancements, and performance improvements.

Features

Add the ability to preview and show answers in the question editor view - We have reinstated the "Show Answers" feature, allowing you to preview answers when editing questions in the Simplified UI.

Bug Fixes

Creating a multi-part question did not save the original question edits - When you created a new multi-part question, the original question was not saved when the multi-part question editor view launched.
Images failed to copy during Canvas New Quizzes imports - Images in question stems were failing to import during Canvas New Quiz imports into Atomic Assessments.
Questions that were pulled from Canvas New Quiz item banks failed to import - Questions pulled from New Quiz item banks were not being converted during the import process.

Move the error report to the assessment triple-dot menu - This report has been removed from the reports tab to the assessment options menu.
Display the assessment name in the Reports and Question List views - To facilitate navigation, we have added the assessment name in the header above the Report and Question List views.
Add data table scripting functionality - This release adds the data table scripting support to the simplified UI.
Experimental Authoring Options - These features are optional enhancements that add more to the authoring interfaces. They have limited support and are considered experimental, and we may occasionally add or remove additional configurations in the future. These features are turned off by default. If you want to test the experimental features, please file a support ticket with your request.
- Add image uploader extension - This extension improves the image upload process in the question and feature editors by allowing resizing and editing before upload.
- Create adaptive activity support - Add the ability to create new adaptive activities directly in the content manager and author an adaptive json source.
- Random activity support - Create random activities in the content manager, items for delivery are generated at run-time based on the item groups configuration when the assessment is initialized in the initial mode. Once generated, the same set of items are presented during the resume mode. Items are generated starting with the first Item group's configuration, moving to the next group's configuration (and so on) until the Items for the last Item group have been generated. Each Item group within the Random Activity can have its own configuration.
- Author Aide support - We now support using the Author Aide from within Atomic Assessments. Using Author Aide, authors can create different types of Questions, such as multiple-choice, true/false, or cloze drag-and-drop. Authors only need to add a few basic prompts like topic, subject, grade, etcetera, to generate the Items.
Import Canvas New Quizzes - We have added the ability to import Canvas New Quizzes. Export your New Quizzes using QTI or a common cartridge and upload them using the "Add Activities" section of the content manager.
Import Brightspace Quizzes - We've enhanced Atomic Assessments to support the easy import of Brightspace quizzes. You can accomplish this by downloading a common cartridge file for your Brightspace quiz and then importing it using the "Add Activities" section of the content manager.
Remove the average column from the assessment manager - We have streamlined the assessment manager view and removed the averages column.
Add submission review support for Brightspace - Submission review allows an instructor to launch from the Brightspace grade book to the associated content from Atomic Assessment for faster grading and submission review. Navigate between students in the upper right of the attempt review screen, all from within the gradebook. For more information on how to use this support, see this article.
Support course copy for data table scripts - Course-level data scripts will now copy during a course copy process during the first copy to the destination course.
Update to latest LTS - This release includes an update to Learnosity version 2024.2.LTS. This Learnosity update provides new features and bug fixes. More information can be found here.

Simplified UI: Change the label of the New Assignment button to New Assessment - To align with the new terminology changes, we have updated the button's label when creating a new assessment.
Simplified UI: Display and allow you to change the published status in the edit question list and edit question views - In addition to the assessment manager view, you can now update the assessment publishing status in the question list and edit question views.
Simplified UI: Add proctoring settings in a new assessment setting group - When proctoring services are configured for your application, you can access the proctoring settings for an assessment by navigating to the assessment settings page and expanding the Proctoring section.
Added error logging and upload improvements when Adding Activities through the Content Manager - Added error logging for improperly formatted QTI files imported using the Content Manager and improved how files can be added during import.

Bug Fixes

LTI 1.3 launches were slower than expected due to launch requests happening twice. This issue has been resolved, and you can expect faster launches.
Simplified UI: Navigating into the triple dot menu from the question list and back removed the Create a new question button until you refreshed the screen. The button should now always display.
Selecting the "Start Screen" option in the question list triple-dot menu would cause the navigation to stop working until you refreshed the screen.
Simplified UI: The Create a gradebook entry box did not create the gradebook entry while creating a new embedded assessment.
Canvas, 1.3 tool versions, would create an extra Canvas assignment when embedding an existing assessment.

Version 24.06

Production Release: June 4 2024

As a reminder, this release changes the behavior of the Simplified UI feature flags. For more information, please see the progressive rollout plan documented here.

This release also allows all admins to view the Usage Analytics. If you want only specified admins to see them, please file a ticket with your requested list of users.

Customer-facing usage analytics—We added usage analytics reports showing statistics for students, attempts, teachers, and courses. This feature is currently disabled by default. You may request that it be enabled by filing a ticket in the Atomic Jolt customer support portal. When enabled, LMS Administrators can access the reports by choosing Usage Analytics from the three-dot menu at the top right of the Assessment Manager.

Features

Features added for the Simplified UI – This release includes bug fixes and enhancements for the Simplified UI and adds a couple of new features:
- Added the Action builder to the list of options available in the question edit menu. Action builder is useful in advanced situations and is enabled by request.
- Added the Start screen option to the question list triple-dot menu.
Improved attempt review when an assignment has changed after the attempt - Student attempt review will now show all items the student saw when making an attempt, even if those items have since been removed from the assignment. Previously we would only show items which are still in the assignment at the time of review. This will help in cases where the assignment has been updated or mistakenly overwritten after students have made attempts, and will more accurately reflect the score the student received on the attempt.
Reduced student session size - This release substantially reduces student session data, which should help performance on large assessments and prevent a rare error where session data is too large to be scored.
Update the assignment name from Canvas when viewing the assessment list - The assignment name in Canvas can get out of sync with the corresponding assessment name in the assessment list, causing search issues. In this release, when you update the name of an assignment using the Canvas assignment edit functions, the name will also be updated in Atomic Assessments when the assignment is listed in the assessment manager.

Bug Fixes

Timeout error when importing large published courses - Sometimes, a timeout error would occur before the import could be started.

Version 24.05

Production Release: May 7, 2024

Features

Simplified UI Feature flag — We are introducing a new Simplified UI for Atomic Assessments to improve discoverability and increase efficiency by making it easy to do the common things while still providing flexibility for advanced authoring. This release includes the ability to start opting-in and testing the new UI. If you have any feedback, please submit your feedback using this form.
Progressive roll-out plan - We plan to roll out the new UI over the next few months. Please see more details about the roll-out plan for this new UI here. This release will roll out the feature flag under the Admin Settings and allow you to set the default UI for instructors. Users have the option to switch between the classic and Simplified UI at any time.
Here is the schedule for the feature being rolled out:
Simplified terminology - Atomic Assessments now only uses the terminology assessments and questions. Assignments and activities are now called assessments. Items are now called questions. Items could contain multiple questions. We now call those multi-part questions.
- Default to single-question creation - By default, each question is now a single question. However, we still allow you to create a multi-part question (previously referred to as an Item with multiple questions) if needed. The user interface for editing multi-part questions is hidden until you
- Simplified navigation - We have replaced tab-based navigation with out-and-back navigation to switch between sections of the app
- Simple in-page assessment creation - Quickly create single-question assessments to drop into pages and other learning objects.
- Pinned questions - We have added a new pinned question category to the question selection screen. Pinned questions allow users to choose their own set of pinned questions to aid in efficient question creation. When you hover over the top right of each question type, you will see a new pin icon to add questions to your pinned list.
- Edit points possible in the list view - Added the ability to adjust and see a total for the question points when viewing the question list for an assessment. Points adjusted will be scaled across multi-part questions.

Version 24.04

Production Release: April 3, 2024

Features

Push Assessments — Added the ability to push new or updated content for multiple assessments from parent courses to child courses.

Version 24.03:

Production Release - 5 Mar 2024

Features

Customer facing usage analytics — We added usage analytics reports showing statistics for students, attempts, teachers, and courses. This feature is currently disabled by default. You may request that the feature be enabled by filing a ticket in the Atomic Jolt customer support portal. When enabled LMS Administrators can access the reports by choosing Usage Analytics from the three dot menu at the top right of the Assessment Manager.

At the top, you can access graphs of each of the reports followed by tables containing the same data in numerical format:

Students - Number of unique students that started assessments.
Teachers - Number of unique teachers that accessed Atomic Assessments.
Courses - Number of unique courses that Atomic Assessments was accessed in.
Attempts - Number of assessments that were submitted.

Active refers to the number during a given month. Total refers to the cumulative total during the contract period (typically a year). New refers to the number of unique new users during a month. For example, if 5 students used Atomic Assessments during a month, if 3 had used Atomic Assessments previously during the contract period, it would count 2 new students for that month. Prev Period Total refers to the cumulative total for the previous contract period. This statistic is provided to allow you to compare your current contract period to the previous one.

Canvas Studio support — We added support for inserting Canvas Studio videos into Atomic Assessment rich content. This feature is disabled by default. This is a premium feature that will incur an additional fee to use. You may request that this feature be enabled by filing a ticket in the Atomic Jolt customer support portal. Once the feature is enabled, a button will appear in the rich content editor toolbar that you can click to open the Canvas Studio Media Library.

The Media Library allows you to upload, search, preview, and insert videos.

When students access content containing Canvas Studio videos, Atomic Assessments launches them via LTI.

LTI platform support — Atomic Assessments has included LTI 1.1 platform support for some time in order to support inserting Kaltura videos. Our work to support Canvas Studio has improved Atomic Assessments support for other LTI 1.1 tools. In addition, we are adding LTI 1.3 platform support which when completed will allow you to use Kaltura 1.3 and other LTI 1.3 tools to insert LTI launched resources into assessment content. This is a premium feature that will incur an additional fee to use. You may request that this feature be enabled for use with Kaltura or other LTI tools by filing a ticket in the Atomic Jolt customer support portal.
Support for sending assessment submission scores — We added support for sending assessment submission scores including item and outcome scores to a customer API endpoint each time a student submission is scored. This feature is disabled by default. This is a premium feature that will incur an additional fee to use. You may request that this feature be enabled by filing a ticket in the Atomic Jolt customer support portal.
Respondus Lockdown Browser support — We created a new version of Atomic Assessments named Atomic Exams that adds support for requiring students to use the Respondus Lockdown Browser to complete an assessment. This feature is disabled by default. This is a premium feature that will incur an additional fee to use. You may request that this feature be enabled by filing a ticket in the Atomic Jolt customer support portal.
Support for older browsers — In order to support Chromium 83, we started transpiling our javascript to older versions.
1EdTech LTI certification — We renewed the 1EdTech LTI certification for Atomic Assessments by running the certification suite on the latest version of Atomic Assessments and filing needed paperwork.

Bug Fixes

Brightspace completed and needs review columns — In Brightspace the Assignment Manager was not correctly displaying accurate counts in the Completed and Needs Review columns.
Race condition on first launch in a course — When a page containing multiple assessments was launched for the first time in a course, a race condition sometimes occurred causing an error to display instead of the assessments.
Embedded assessment redirect in an LMSs using an alias — When a graded assessment was embedded in a page in an LMS using a domain alias, it could sometimes cause a redirect problem.
Question numbers not displayed during student review — In certain circumstances, question numbers were not displayed during student review even though that assessment setting was enabled.
Outcome report miscalculating average row — Outcome reports were not calculating outcome scores correctly when an assessment contained questions worth zero points.

Version 24.02.0

Beta Release: January 29th, 2024
Production Release: February 1, 2024

We are moving from three releases per year to smaller monthly releases to reduce the changes included in each release. The main reason for the change is to provide more timely releases to our customers. We are focused on platform stability and believe that this will result in fewer bugs being released.

As part of switching to monthly releases, we are transitioning to date-based versioning of the format [YY].[MM].[Patch Number].

Features

Show Correct Answers in the Teacher Submission View — Previously, when reviewing student submissions as a teacher, we only displayed the feedback that students saw. In this release, we modified the behavior to show correct answers and all feedback to teachers, even if an assignment is not configured to display the answers to students.
New Assignment Setting: Hide questions on review screen — We added the “Hide questions on review screen” assignment setting. Students won’t see questions when reviewing their submissions when this setting is enabled. This setting is designed to be used with an assessment that aligns questions with standards/outcomes so that students can review their outcome scores without seeing the questions.
Multiple Collapsible Assignment Settings — Previously, there was only one collapsible “More Options” panel in assignment settings. This release adds multiple collapsible panels and the ability to expand all to make it easier to navigate to specific settings.
LTI Dynamic Registration Support — This release includes support for installing Atomic Assessments using the new LTI Advantage Dynamic Registration functionality.
Simplified LTI 1.1 to 1.3 Upgrade — We simplified the process for upgrading Atomic Assessments from LTI 1.1 to 1.3. Previously, you needed to do two LTI 1.3 installs. The new approach only requires a single install.
Assignment Name Sorting — We modified how assignment names are sorted in the assignment manager to use natural numbering so that instead of sorting Test 1, Test 2, Test 23, Test 3, they will now sort as Test 1, Test 2, Test 3, Test 23.

Bug Fixes

Handle Very Large Quiz Imports — When you imported very large Canvas Quizzes, the import would sometimes fail. We modified how we handle the imports to be able to handle these large imports.
D2L Brightspace: Completed and Review Columns Not Populating — When installed in D2L, the Assignment Manager was not displaying values in the “Completed” and “Needs Review” columns.
D2L Brightspace: Authoring Setting — In Brightspace, when you modified the course setting to enable/disable editing in a course, the setting appeared to save but would revert when you reloaded the application.

Version 4.6

Beta Release: December 12, 2023
Production Release: January 2, 2024

Features

Upgraded to Learnosity 2023.3.LTS. This release includes an update to Learnosity version 2023.3.LTS. This Learnosity update provides new features and bug fixes. More information can be found here.
Updated documentation link. We have updated the documentation link in the Atomic Assessments assignment manager to reflect the new support portal address. Customers who have supplied us with custom URLs for the documentation link will not receive this update.
Hid the "Warning: This Item is used in Activities. Any changes will impact all Activities that use this Item." warning when editing items in assignments. We removed this unnecessary warning message when you are editing content directly in an assignment.

Bug Fixes

Some of the Respondus proctoring settings did not save to presets. The Respondus password, list of allowed programs, and language settings were not saving to proctoring setting presets.
Proctoring settings did not copy over during a course copy. Proctoring settings were not copying with their associated assignments during a course copy or a Canvas blueprint sync.
Published course versions did not preserve images embedded in questions during copy. Questions that contained image assets hosted by Learnosity would contain broken image links when those questions were copied through a course import of a published course version of another Atomic Assessments course.
Importing using a published course key that contained content between different item banks did not work. When you imported a course using a published course key that contained content from a different item bank than your own, the content from the other bank would cause an error to appear in the new course.
The missing responses box sometimes popped up immediately before students had answered any questions. The missing responses box sometimes popped up immediately when a student started an attempt with required questions set at the assignment level. This warning now waits to display until the student clicks the Next or Submit button.

Version 4.4

Beta Release: May 30, 2023
Production Release: June 13, 2023

Features

Certified LTI Advantage. Atomic Assessments is now LTI Advantage certified with 1EdTech. You can view our LTI Advantage certificate.
Added support for bulk tagging items. We have added the ability to bulk tag items in an assignment’s Item list. There is a new button, ‘Edit Tags’ that appears when selecting Items. The button will open a pop-up window that allows you to search for multiple tags, add those tags to a list, and apply those tags to multiple items. The tag search will display all available course tags in the dropdown in addition to being able to search for a tag. We have also added the ability to bulk remove tags when you select multiple items. The ‘Edit Tags’ pop-up lists all tags applied to your selected items. Clicking the ‘X’ next to a tag name will remove that tag from all items to which the tag is applied.
Extended Atomic Assessments to be available for Schoology LMS. Atomic Assessments can now be installed into the Schoology LMS. Atomic Assessments uses the LTI Advantage standard in this learning management system. Please file a ticket in our support portal to request more information.
Added question numbers to the assignment printout. Question numbers are now displayed above each question in the assignment printout.
Added teacher rationale and question numbers to the answer key printout. Question numbers and teacher rationale are now displayed above each question in the assignment answer key printout.
Added ability to copy Resource Items with an Activity. Resource Items added to an activity through the Learnosity authoring site can now be copied when the Activity is copied in Atomic Assessments.
Added ability to publish a course snapshot. The Content Manager has a new section for published course versions. Publishing a version of the course creates a snapshot of the current course state and will always create a deep copy of the course content and its settings. Once a version is published, you can use the version key to import that version into another course.
Added ability to import a course snapshot. You can now import published course versions under the Import version section in the Content Manager. Use the version key from your original course to import content into your new course. You can check on the status of your import by refreshing the import table.
Updated the displayed message when the student cannot see the summary, review screen, and their score. We have added a new message, “Viewing of scores is currently not allowed,” when the student cannot see the summary, review screen, and they are also not allowed to see their score.
Added the option to keep the first attempt grade even if retakes are allowed. We have added a new “Score to keep” option under the assignment settings. You can now choose to keep the first attempt as the assignment's submitted grade, even if additional attempts are allowed.
Upgraded to Learnosity 2023.1.LTS. This release includes an update to Learnosity version 2023.1.LTS. This Learnosity update provides new features and bug fixes. More information can be found on the Learnosity Help Releases & Versioning page.
Updated the loading animations in popups to be smaller. We have minimized the size of the loading indication for popups.
Updated Time Spent behavior in the reports. We have updated the behavior of the "Time Spent" column in the Summary Report. Instead of displaying the total amount of time the assignment was open for (started at vs finished at) we are now displaying the time that the student had the assignment actively open in a tab. This time will be displayed no matter the timer settings. We have also added a hover (i) icon to display additional time information for the attempt.

Bug Fixes

The Summary Report attempt status did not correctly update when changing the “Score to keep” setting after students had submitted attempts. When changing "Score to keep" in an assignment with existing attempts, all attempts will now update to use the new scoring method. When refreshing the report, all attempts will update with the new scoring method in the Summary Report. The attempts will show as "Not sent to Gradebook." Note: Changing the “Score to keep” does not automatically re-send grades to the LMS. We require the instructor to do this manually.
Versions report sometimes displayed incorrect information about Items. Sometimes, the Versions report in the Content Manager would display the wrong totals for the number of new and updated Items during an import.
Hints were not displayed on some manually graded questions. Hints were not displayed on some of the manually graded question types.
The number of attempts was incorrect for the Desmos custom questions. The text for the remaining attempts was displayed incorrectly to the student in these question types. For example, the student would see 1 out of 2 attempts were used when they still had two valid attempts.
The LTI Advantage version of Atomic Assessments did not support access codes in the last release. Students can now enter an access code to start an assignment in this version.
The Proctoring 'Load Presets' button label overlapped the arrow. Within an assignment, on the Proctoring tab, the label name overlapped the drop-down arrow on the 'Load Presets' button.
The Answer key cloze math correct answer number and answer misaligned. We fixed an element alignment issue for the correct answer response number and the correct answer in the answer key PDF.
The timer would count up in instructor preview. The instructor preview would count up instead of counting down when the time limit was configured to use the setting “Timer runs continuously even if the student navigates away.”
A final score of 0% was not included when calculating averages and the median in the Item Scores reports. A final student score of 0% was not factored in the average and median row calculations in the Item Scores report causing inaccurate data to display in these report rows.
Scores would show as 0 for manually graded questions if they were not scored by the instructor. Manually graded essay questions would incorrectly display a score of 0 in the score detail view on the student review page when the question had not yet been graded. We now display a pending indicator for these questions instead of 0.
The latest unfinished attempt was displayed as Attempt 1. If a student retook an assessment but never progressed past the start screen, the new attempt was displayed as Attempt 1 in the student summary and the attempt review screen instead of the correct attempt number.
Sometimes importing using a zip file failed, and no error was shown. When importing an activity from a zip file, sometimes it silently failed without showing an error. This error will display when it occurs so you can try the import again.
The Summary Report attempt status did not update to show when a student had completed a re-opened attempt. The attempt would show as started when you re-opened a student attempt.
