Assessment
Delivering assessments with randomized questions
used to be tricky, but it just got a lot easier.

-----------------------------------------------
Deliver more secure, efficient assessments with random activities
You can now deliver different sets of items to different learners from an assigned item group, with items chosen randomly at runtime. Using random activities in Author API, you reduce effort for authors, increase item bank longevity, and combat cheating.
Accessibility
At Learnosity, continuous improvement of product accessibility is a big deal. Our latest enhancements focus on perceivability and operability for learners.
-----------------------------------------------
A more accessible number line plot question type
The number line plot question type is used in a range of STEM assessments. With this comprehensive update, we’ve added full keyboard support.
-----------------------------------------------
More operable sticky notes
Guided by best practices in web accessibility, we’ve updated Annotations API to enable sticky notes to be moved around, resized, and positioned using the
keyboard alone.

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)
STEM assessments cover some of the most complex subjects in the world of learning. Through Learnosity’s Partner Ecosystem, we aid innovation by connecting you with experts in the STEM community.
-----------------------------------------------
A flexible notepad for STEM assessments
STEM learners require notepads with specialized capabilities. With GeoGebra Notes, learners can annotate on-screen assessments with the flexibility to add scribbled notes, geometric shapes, charts, equations, and much more.
-----------------------------------------------
Extending assessments for coders
Help coders prepare for the reality of their future careers. With Qualified’s custom question, you can create computer science experiences grounded in real-world learning and placement outcomes.
-----------------------------------------------
New symbols for the math keypad
Early math learners can now use question marks (?) in the math keypad to represent variables such as x. This helps them understand the unknown or variable nature of these concepts. We also added the greater-than-or-equal-to (and the less-than-or-equal-to) signs (≦,≧), as an alternative to (≤,≥).
Analytics
You asked for one of our reports to be upgraded, and we delivered.
-----------------------------------------------
More flexible response analysis report
Our response analysis report displays a summary of responses for a group of learners. This report is now capable of rendering items that have multiple versions. Item references can also be shown for the multiple-versioned items in a user interface element.
Self-Service
Our self-service team is always thinking of new ways to make the customer experience smoother and faster than before.
-----------------------------------------------
Improved platform management
Using advanced filters on Learnosity Console, admins can take full control of user access by allowing them to filter by role, item bank, and permission group. This feature speeds up the process of making sure the right people have the right permissions.
