We now support more LMSs
We added support for more LMSs with a third party piece of software that we have now integrated into ASSISTments. All LMS integrations (with the exception of Google Classroom) will require an agreement with the user, school, or district because they all require an LMS administrator to make the integration with ASSISTments work. Edlink allows us to now support: Schoology and eventually we will ass MS Teams (O365), Blackboard, Moodle & Brightspace by D2L.
Teacher scored problems have blue score chips in the detailed report
Teachers-scored problems (also known as open response) have score chips that are now blue to more easily indicate that the problem was scored by the teacher.
Old Browser Error Message
A new error message will tell students that their browser is too old and that they will need to update their browser to access their assignment in ASSISTments.
Support Comparison Study: Content Page
The Support Comparison Study workflow is being updated. There is a new page, Content, where the researcher will be able to either select a problem set(s) from the Curriculum Hierarchy or add a problem set(s) using the problem set ID. This functionality was previously in the Conditions page of the study.
Single Support Study Content Page
The Support Single Study workflow is being updated. There is a new page, Content, where the researcher will be able to add a problem set using the problem set ID. This functionality was previously on the Conditions page of the study.
OSF Information
On the Overview Page of each study, there will be a table with the Open Science Foundation links associated with the study. There is a Researcher ID, which is automatically populated if the researcher has added their ID to their profile page. There is also a Project ID, which is automatically populated when the study is created under The ASSISTments Foundation project folder. If the Project ID is not populated, you can manually add the link to the table.
QUICK Comments for assessing open response problems Using AI (Artificial Intelligence), we now offer all users three possible feedback options for students when scoring open response questions as well as a suggested score. Users can use the suggested feedback messages and score or enter their own. This feature is only available if the AI has enough information to make the recommendations. We hope that this will shorten the time it takes for teachers to give students feedback on the work that they turn in.
Set a timer on an assignment Teachers can now set a timer on an assignment. For those times when you want to restrict the time students spend on an assignment. This is set via an assign time option. Time is in minutes.
When searching by standard, list the standards for problems When using the Search by Standard feature in Find & Assign, each problem will now list the standard(s) that it addresses.
When listing students in alphabetical order, always use last names When listing students in alphabetical order, we now use last names instead of first names
Student assignment reports now show scores and feedback messages for open response problems Student scores and feedback messages on open response type problems are now available to students as soon as you set them. You can give scores and feedback to students on their open response problems by clicking on the word Assess on any assignment report where there are problems that have not yet been scored or given feedback.
Sorting on the average score on the assignment report places 100 correctly On the teacher's assignment report, you can sort the report on the average score - ascending & descending. Scores of 100 are now being placed correctly as being the highest.
Teachers no longer see “NaN%“ score in the Average Score column If a teacher has assigned only open response problems in an assignment and they have not yet scored any of those, they now see no score on the assignment report.
Unable to set a release and due date on the same day Previously if you attempted to have an assignment release and be due on the same day, it would give an error. This has been fixed and should no longer pose a problem.
Timed Assignments When a teacher selects Timed Assignments at assign-time, the student will be notified that it is a timed assignment when they open the assignment in ASSISTments. Students are notified at the start of the assignment that they are entering an assignment with a time limit on it. Once the time is completed, the assignment will end. At any time, the student can pause the assignment by leaving, and when they restart the assignment, their time will start from the paused time.
Student assignment reports now show scores and feedback messages for open response problems Student scores and feedback messages on open response type problems are now available to students as soon as you set them. You can give scores and feedback to students on their open response problems by clicking on the word Assess on any assignment report where there are problems that have not yet been scored or given feedback.
