These improvements make it much easier for a teacher to see all their tasks and what they need to do to complete the workflow for each task. The improvements include:
- See how many students have submitted each task on one screen without having to manually expand the details of each task.
- Sort the task list by name, availability, deadline, submissions, marking and task status.
- Each task now has a status indicating what action is required for that task to be completed. If there is only one action available, for example releasing marks to students that is the status that is shown.
- The most important final action is shown with a hot pink background. For example, releasing marks to students updates their flight path with data from the task.
- "Commit marks" has been replaced with a more intuitive, "Marks can be released" action.
- The "Tidy up" button has been replaced with a more intuitive, "Archive tasks" button.
- Archived tasks are not shown by default but can be expanded with one click / tap.
- Tasks can now be archived and unarchived at any time.
- Once marks have been released to students, a task can be assigned back to the student to be done again.
- Tasks always remain active until the teacher chooses to archive them. The mark book is now a report and not the final stage in the task workflow.
Individual task management
Improvements to the individual task management interface include:
- A cleaner look to match the class task management interface.
- See what action is waiting to be completed for, or by each student.
- See the date and time a student submitted a task.
- See the questions that were included in the task.
More updates
Also included in this release are a number of other improvements. These include:
- Bug fix: Tasks containing Quiz questions did not always render HTML correctly for superscripts.
- Teachers can now change the course start date for student flight paths.
- The "View previous answer" button on Advance has been moved so that it is available before the student has answered the question. This allows them to compare their last answer and use it as a template to write a new improved answer to the question. This does not affect Tasks.
- A new link has been added to the user profile options to navigate to the domain whitelist helpdesk page making it easier to find which domains need to be whitelisted for Smart Revise to work in a school setting.
- When students join a class the DPA message has been changed to make it more explicit that the school will become the data controller and not CraignDave Ltd.
