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.

 

9.30.2019

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

• Image files in the Presentation Files area now show a thumbnail of the image as the file icon.  This will make it easier to see what image it is, if the name isn't very specific.

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

• Due to a Chrome issue, the public view of a community had some visual imperfections.
• The warning to students who attempt to open a deep linked assignment directly from their Foliotek account has been changed.  Hopefully, this will discourage students from submitting those assignments from Foliotek.

What we're working on

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

• Nothing close enough to mention at this time.

9.23.2019

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

• Nothing new this week.

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

• Some students were having an issue completing the account creation process when coming to Foliotek from a course management system if there had been a problem with their initial account creation.
• If an instructor came to Foliotek from a course management system, they would receive an error message the first time as their Foliotek account was being created.  The second time they attempted to go to Foliotek they would be taken directly into their account.
• A few faculty members had been mistakenly downgraded to a basic Presentation account and lost access to their faculty accounts.  Access was restored to these accounts and a change was made to prevent this from happening in the future.
• A few more tweaks were made to some of the community moderator reports in Foliotek Presentation.
• Some instructors were unable to view images in portfolios submitted through Canvas.
• The submission banner that is displayed when a student submits an activity, project, or portfolio through a course management system was not showing the submission date.  The student had to leave the assignment and reopen it to see the submitted date.

What we're working on

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

• Very soon, image files in the Presentation Files area will show a thumbnail of the image as the file icon.  This will make it easier to see what image it is, if the name isn't very specific.

9.16.2019

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

• The reports available to community moderators have been re-styled to display more uniform HTML and exported reports and column sorting.

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

• Some activities that had been added to packages by an organization were not showing up for students to complete.
• When students were working on activities in a group, the completed activities were being sorted to the bottom of the list.
• Some instructors may have experienced an issue when trying to set up deep linked assignments from their course managment system.
• An error was occurring if an instructor clicked the X to close a selected activity when setting up a deep linked assignment and then chose a different activity.

What we're working on

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

• Nothing close enough to mention.

9.9.2019

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

• We made some improvements to our LTI system.  Foliotek should now better handle students who view or work in an existing course after the academic term has changed.

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

• We corrected an issue where some student logins were being counted twice in the database.  The login numbers on reports have been updated to reflect the actual number of student logins.
• Administrators who were adding students to courses may have received an error in that process.  Despite the error, the students were added to the course(s) correctly.

What we're working on

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

• Nothing close enough to mention.

9.3.2019

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

• The Content Template dropdown list used when creating a new Presentation portfolio was very slow.  This dropdown menu was optimized and now loads and opens much faster.

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

• The User Activity and Badge reports, available to community moderators and administrators, were not  properly displaying information related to the completion of badge activities.
• We corrected some visual errors on the Expired user page that is displayed when a user logs into Foliotek after their account has expired.
• When editing a Presentation portfolio, if a user duplicated a page, the URL for any copies of the page was the same.  This made subsequent page copies invisible in the published version of the portfolio.
• Users who had files stored in folders in the Presentation Files area couldn't access those files.  The folders wouldn't open.
• The option to download files in the Presentation Files area was not exporting the files.

What we're working on

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

• Nothing to report right now.
