Presentation   2015   August

August

At Foliotek, we try hard to provide the best assessment and portfolio software possible.  To do that, we make changes every week.  Sometimes we fix things that don't work, other times we release new features to improve your experience.  Below you will find a list and description of the changes we have made this month.

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

  • We improved the performance of the Design tab when editing a Presentation portfolio.

What we fixed

Several issues were fixed this past week:

  • We improved the function of our LTI system.
  • The administrator ability to export an entire Portfolio structure for backup has been restored.
  • Uploading zipped files into a Presentation account has been improved.  Users now have the option to unzip the file and save all of the individual files or save it as a zipped file.
  • Some users found that their profile image and description on their Identity Page was being duplicated.  This has been corrected.

What we're working on

Watch for these items to be released in the next few weeks:

  • Our evaluation scoring system is undergoing an upgrade!  This will be released in early September.  Check out the new listing of students in an evaluation.  It shows you a visual representation of the scores given and which students still need to be scored.

  • There was an issue with images used in projects placed on ID pages, this was fixed.
  • The background images for ID pages were experience seem some problems for some users, these issues have been resolved.
