Assessment
Boost assessment results by allowing learners to give more thought-out answers.
-----------------------------------------------
Aid learner comprehension with pop-up content
Add more context to increase learner understanding and receive better answers. When learners click on a word or phrase, a pop-up window can now appear with helpful information, like a glossary or an alternative description with images.
-----------------------------------------------
Turn back the clock on wrong answers
Have you ever guessed an answer on screen, then immediately regretted it? We now provide a way to help you build an instant reset response capability, so learners can withdraw their answer, if desired.
Analytics
Help instructors analyze results more efficiently with new report enhancements.
-----------------------------------------------
Filter reports by date
Save instructors time by removing limitations. Our reports "sessions list" and "sessions list by item" can now be filtered by date, so instructors can find the report they need more efficiently.
-----------------------------------------------
Fine tuning labels in the learning outcomes report
Lengthy column names in reports can impact readability and slow down reporting. We've made it easier for instructors to review the learning outcomes report, because shorter column names can now be displayed.
Accessibility
Learnosity never forgets the importance of accessibility. With every release, we continuously strive to make our user experience more inclusive.
-----------------------------------------------
A more accessible authoring experience
Give content authors a more operable authoring experience. Authors can now use keypad navigation while in activity edit mode, which also allows screen readers to read the correct focus states.
-----------------------------------------------
Increased perceivability of the line reader
To use a line reader, learners need to perceive how it works. We’ve updated our line reader with visual indicators, icons, and screen reader messages, so learners know how it can be dragged and dropped.
-----------------------------------------------
Smoother navigation experience for reports
Instructors can now use better keyboard navigation with screen readers, when interacting with Learnosity reports in the browser.
Customer Advisories
Significant product changes are coming that could require action. Make sure your team is aware of these impending updates to avoid disruptions.
-----------------------------------------------
Upgrade to math rendering library
MathJax, the math rendering library loaded with our APIs, will be updated from version 2.7 to version 3.2 in our next LTS release. Since the structure of version 3 differs significantly, we advise reviewing any custom work before upgrading. Note that the developer version of our APIs will load version 3.2 in early May 2023.
-----------------------------------------------
End of life for legacy activity editor
Support for the legacy activity editor in Author Site will end on July 31, 2023 in favour of the Author API based activity editor. Contact Learnosity support to migrate.
