New Features

The following are new features added in this months’ ASSISTments update:

My Assignments

• Delete Assignment is now available. Teachers can now delete assignments.
• All assignments are now visible for a class regardless of who assigned them.
  

Reports/Data

• Assignments in Test Mode will only have Green/Red colored score chips on the Assignment Report to indicate Correct/Incorrect. Open response problems, scores will be colored green for a score of 4, red for a score of 0 and orange for all others scores in between.
• Teachers now have access to the assignment report when no student has yet started it

Student Experience

• Open Response editor has been upgraded to more easily allow students to:

          - Take a picture

           - Submit a file

           - Draw their answer

‍

‍Known Issues we are Working on:

• Although the problem score chips for problems in test mode will be colored only red and green, this will not be the case in the bar graph at the top of the assignment report. In the graph any wrong answers will be colored orange. This will be fixed in the next release.
• Loading assignments and search results may take longer than expected, if you have a lot of assignments or the search returns a large number of problems. We are working on remedying this in the next release.
• Not all problems in our content are yet tagged with their common core skill codes, and as such will not show up in a search for a given skill code. With each release more problems are tagged, as a result, the numbers of problems that will show up as the result of a search will continue to increase.
