v8.2 Release

Happy Friday!

Last night, we released new features and updates! Read about them in our Release Notes. Check out two highly requested features below:

Hybrid Assessments – have arrived based on Teacher feedback requesting better, faster, easier ways to make teacher-created assessments in Illuminate that can be given online.  Now we can upload a PDF, PPT, or Word document as a Material in the Manual Assessment creation process and give students access to their test as an online testing.  Student will see the uploaded material while they use the online testing module as a digital answer key.  Save the rainforest by printing zero test booklets and zero answer sheets! Wanna try it out? Here’s our help doc for this feature.

Assessment Review – Finally here! Assessment Review recreates the student experience where they receive graded test booklets back after taking a test. This will help students identify where they did well and what they can improve upon. This is offered to students for a limited amount of time as set by the teacher. We have a bunch of other online testing goodies available in case you didn’t know/forgot/need to be reminded: instant reporting, proctoring tools, options to add calculator, ruler, protractor digital notepad. Check out our help doc.

Psst…Text to Speech feature coming soon!

Have a great Labor Day Weekend!
