In addition to copying a task between classes in the same year group, teachers can now copy tasks between classes in different year groups using the same "copy an existing task" function.
Topics, experience, questions and marking steps are all copied to the new task, but as the task is likely to require a different deadline the schedule step is not copied. This will allow teachers to set appropriate availability for the task for the different cohort.
Be aware that questions in courses do change as updates to specifications are made and what we learn from past papers, examiner reports or advice from subject advisors. If a question is updated, all copied tasks will pick up any changes automatically. If a question has been completely removed from Smart Revise for a subsequent course series or topic, the copied task will no longer include that question and therefore the experience may not be the same. If this happens, the teacher will be alerted when copying the task.
New questions for Advance and Tasks are being added all the time, so we encourage teachers to be mindful of this when copying a task they might have used over many years.
Irlen syndrome support
This update also includes a new theme, "Irlen" that reduces most of the colours in the system to black text on a white background. Highlights and border colours are still used where appropriate to draw attention for the user, but they do not affect the readability of the text. You can set this new theme by selecting your profile icon \ Manage Account \ Preferences \ Colour scheme.
Bug fix
When a student is unlinked from a class the teacher is no longer prompted for which action to take with a voucher if one has not been allocated to the student.
