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.

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

• An upgrade was made to Foliotek's infrastrucutre.  You shouldn't see anything different, it just works better.  As you've probably noticed, we have been making some regular improvements to Foliotek's infrastructure.  These improvements are being done in phases to limit the risk involved when these areas are updated.  We appreciate your patience as we strive to make Foliotek better.
• The User Activity report has been released.  It will show the completion of some basic student activity, i.e. files uploaded, logins, ID page completion, and will give more detailed information on the completion of activities and badges, including informaiton on how much time the student spent working on the activity.

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

• Project page titles will now be limited to 256 characters.

What we're working on

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

• A new report is being created for administrators and moderators.  The Users at Risk Report uses a specially designed algorithm combining number of logins, last login date, id page completion, projects created, activities completed, and time on task to identify students who are at risk of not being successful.
