Presentation   2016   August

August

At Foliotek, we work 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 description of the changes we have made this month.

 

8.29.2016

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

  • Sorry...nothing new this week.

What we fixed

Several issues were fixed this past week:

  • Attempting to place a link to a resource in the instructions for an element or section of a portfolio was not working.  Links can be added once again.
  • Some Project Templates were not keeping the uploaded image when students created a project from the template.  This has been corrected.
  • The expanded closing ability in the Resources area of a Project Template was overlapping some of the content.  As a result, if you clicked in an allowed area on the content, it would inadvertently close the Resources area.  This issue has been resolved.

What we're working on

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

  • Coming soon...the ability to crop images added to Project pages.

8.22.2016

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

  • We improved the process of selecting images to place in a Project page, a page in a Project template, or as a resource for a Project template.  Now, instead of just a list of file names, a thumbnail of the image will be displayed to make selection easier.

Image Gallery

  • In the past, it was not easy to know when someone left you feedback about your portfolio or project.  Now, users will receive an email when someone leaves feedback about a portfolio or project that has been shared or is viewable in a community.
  • It is finally here!  Phase one of the ability to edit images in Project pages is live.  You can now rotate the image to get it to look better.

What we fixed

Several issues were fixed this past week:

  • Exporting the Inter-Rater Reliability report was causing an error.  This has been corrected.
  • Some users were having difficulty seeing all of their projects as options when adding a project to a portfolio using the Project Gizmo.  This issue has been resolved.
  • An error in the system was causing forms to be removed from parent portfolios if those same forms were removed from the copy of the portfolio.  This has now been prevented.
  • Some of our help videos on the home page of Assessment accounts were not working.  The videos will now play.
  • The member search box when a moderator was viewing a community was applying case-sensitive searches when it should not have been.  It will now ignore the case of a letter when searching the community member list.

What we're working on

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

  • Coming soon...the ability to crop images added to Project pages.

8.15.2016

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

  • We made some improvements to the moderator template scoring page.  Buttons refresh better to show what has and has not been scored and the entire template area works a little faster.
  • It is now possible to save forms with multiple pages without having to complete the entire form.  Previously, the only 'save and close' button on a multi-page form was on the very last page, now there is a 'save and close' button on each page so evaluators can complete part of the form, save those answers, then come back later and finish.

Saving Multi-Page Forms

  • Lastly, we made some changes to speed up our entire system.  While this was not a major change, it affected every part of Foliotek.  We have done all we can to try to find any links, buttons, or areas that this change may have broken, however, we realize we may have missed something.  If you come across anything that gives you an error screen that says, "A report has been sent to the Foliotek support staff regarding the error you have encountered. The error will be reviewed and resolved as soon as possible", please contact our support team and let us know where you found it.

What we fixed

Several issues were fixed this past week:

  • Our Facebook links in some emails were broken.  We have repaired those links.
  • For Moderators, the academic term filter on the community listing page was not filtering.  We have restored that functionality.
  • When a scoring guide was created that scored substandards, the substandards were not listed in the same order they are found in the standards list.  This ordering has been corrected.

What we're working on

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

  • We are nearly finished with the ability to edit images on project pages.  Very soon you will be able to crop them and rotate them.

8.08.2016

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

  • Project templates are now duplicable!  Yep...that's a real word -- look it up.  It means, "capable of being duplicated."  Now moderators can set a template to be duplicable which means other moderators in the same organization can create the same project template for their community.  It also gives a moderator the ability to duplicate that template in any other communities they control.

Duplicable Project Templates

What we fixed

Several issues were fixed this past week:

  • Some HTML code was visible on the Evaluation report in a Presentation moderator account.  This code has been hidden once again.
  • The evidence links on Scoring Guides and when scoring evaluations weren't formatting their contents correctly.  This issue has been resolved.

What we're working on

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

  • We are nearly finished with the ability to edit images on project pages.  Very soon you will be able to crop them and rotate them.

8.01.2016

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

  • Sorry, nothing new this week...check back next week, we're pretty sure there will be a new feature.

What we fixed

Several issues were fixed this past week:

  • The Question report for Project templates was not loading properly.  This issue has been resolved.
  • The individual student records on the CBA Evaluation report were returning a 404 error when a student's link was clicked.  The links have been restored and will now display the student data.
  • Some faculty members were not receiving email notifications from the Portfolio-Integrated Evaluation system due to an issue with the 'subject' line of the emails that were created by the system.  These emails have been repaired and will now be sent as expected.
