Accessibility
Product accessibility isn’t a one-time task—it’s
a never-ending journey. In this release, we’ve made
major strides forward.
Accessibility upgrades for rich response Question types
We’ve expanded inclusivity with a bunch of upgrades:
- Enhanced keyboard focus, visual indicators, and WCAG-related fixes for the essay with rich text and plain text Question types.
- Clearer screen reader messaging and ARIA labels for the file upload Question types.
- The essay with rich text, drawing, video player, and plain text Question types now reach "Supports" VPAT status.
More accessible STEM tools
We've improved accessibility across key STEM tools,
including calculator input and image tools (ruler
and protractor). Calculator fields now have more
descriptive accessible names for better screen reader
clarity, and image tools are keyboard accessible
with screen reader support. These updates move the
features to “Supports” in VPAT reporting.
AI
We’ve deepened the AI integration with our core APIs
and expanded the reach of your content.
AI-powered essay grading within core APIs
Feedback Aide—our agentic AI grading engine—now supports
essay responses within the core Learnosity API. This
enables AI scoring using analytic and holistic rubrics
with shared passages as sources. This brings scalable,
consistent essay scoring directly into delivery workflows
for reading comprehension, writing instruction, and
more.
Expanded language support for Author Aide
Create and translate content in more regional languages
with Author Aide support for Irish, Welsh, and Scottish
Gaelic—so your content reaches more learners.
Authoring
Empower content creators to fine-tune authoring and
assessment experiences.
More control over Question points
Question points can now be overridden at delivery.
This means educators get the flexibility to tailor
scoring to the needs and context of each assessment.
More flexible limits for random Activities
Build more complex exams with increased flexibility
for random Activities. We’ve raised the defaults
to 50 random Item groups and 1,000 candidate Items,
so authors have more freedom to build complex, randomized
assessments.
Improved access control for Activities
Activities can now be configured as read-only in
the Author API. By aligning the behavior of Activities
with Items, you can implement richer permission schemes
that improve both safety and consistency.
See total Activity points at a glance
Authors can now view total Activity points directly
in the edit view, with the ability to drill down
into Item- and Question-level points. This visibility
gives authors a quicker, easier way to ensure every
assessment is accurately weighted and balanced.
Simplify QA with Item-level dynamic data previews
Preview dynamic data directly at the Item level with
a row ID display that identifies the active data
table row, speeding up the review and testing process.
More flexible “Check answer” attempts
The number of "Check answer" attempts can now be
overridden during initialization via the Items API
Init object. This enables authors to tailor feedback
and support for individual student cases without
creating duplicate Question versions.
Assessment
Guide the learner while guarding the learning journey.
Encrypted validation for “Check answer”
We’ve strengthened browser-side validation for “Check
answer” and similar workflows with encrypted response
handling. This improves test integrity and makes
it harder for savvy students to access answers through
browser tools.
Keep responses for “Try again”
Retain “Try again” attempts so you can view and display
previous responses. That gives educators and learners
more context for review and feedback—without losing
the learning journey.
Analytics
Big data demands better navigation.
Enhanced reporting for Last score by Tag by User
A new rich data table experience enhances Last Score
by Tag by User reporting with full pagination, sortable
columns, and automatic freezing of the first two
columns. These improvements make it easier to navigate
and analyze—delivering a smoother experience.
