Presentation   2019   February

February

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.

 

2.25.2019

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

  • We added more reporting abilities for moderators and administrators.  There is now an Activity Question Responses report that allows you to collect data for all question types in an activity.  Previously, only answers on quizzes were available.  This new report displays student responses to textbox, radio button, dropdown, checkbox, slider, and files questions; as well as continuing to give you access to quiz answers.  You will notice in your Reports area that the Quiz Report has been removed and replaced with this new Activity Question Responses report.

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

  • The 'Not Submitted' option for filtering students on the Submissions tab in a community was not working.

Not Submitted Filter

  • The video transcoding process was running slow.  It was fixed and videos awaiting transcoding have now been completed.
  • The link in the email invite sent by a community moderator was not displaying the correct screen to allow the student to join the community.
  • Improvements were made to the Files area in Presentation.  Most of the effort focused on the Foliotek Projects file folder.
  • For new users, recent edits they had made to their ID page were not necessarily visible in the ID page preview on the dashboard.
  • More corrections were made to the reset password email system that has had issues with emails being bounced by some email providers.

What we're working on

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

  • We are working on increasing the available options for Learning Modules in Activities.  Administrators will have the ability to add links to other Foliotek pages and activities directly inside a learning module.  We are also adding the ability to define correct answers to questions in a learning module and provide immediate feedback to the student.

2.18.2019

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

  • We improved the functionality of some of our background jobs (liek screenshots, emails, video transcoding, etc...).  You shouldn't see anything different, it just works more efficiently now.

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

  • Chrome released an update (version 72) that broke the layout of the community moderator page.  This layout was fixed.
  • The date filter on the GRIT Gauge report was not returning any results when it was utilized.
  • The Twitter and Instagram links on the ID page were not functioning properly.

Twitter and Instagram Buttons

  • Some email services were bouncing Foliotek emails which would cause users to not receive certain emails from Foliotek.  This included password reset emails.

What we're working on

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

  • Soon, moderators will be able to run reports on text box questions completed by students in activities.
