Before we go straight to the update, check out our release notes to know about all updates. Now let’s dive into the details.
Audio and Video Recordings in Assignments
One cool thing in this update is that now you can record audio and video for assignments. This feature is super useful for both teachers and students. Here are some examples of them:
1) for language classes. If you’re teaching a language like Arabic, your students can record themselves speaking. This is great for checking how well they pronounce words and understand the language.
2) for exam prep. If your course has speaking exams (like IELTS or TOEFL), you can use this to run speaking mock tests. It’s a fantastic way for students to get ready and get feedback.
3) for career coaching courses. Teachers can use audio and video recordings to check body language and communication skills. It makes learning about interviews more real and hands-on.
More User-Friendly Dashboards to Manage Assignments
We’ve revamped the dashboard to make managing assignments a breeze for both admins and instructors. Now admins can effortlessly oversee all assignments across various courses. The dashboard provides a quick snapshot of key metrics, like assignments, courses, students and statuses.
Emojis for Passing or Failed Assignments
Add a bit of fun with emojis! Choose emojis to show whether a student passed or failed an assignment. Head to LMS Settings >>> Courses to pick emojis that best represent success and, well, not-so-successful moments.
Setting to Upload Files for Assignments
Before, students could type and upload files for assignments. Now, by default, they can only type their assignments in text boxes. But don’t worry, admins can allow file uploads, video, and audio recordings in the addon settings. This makes it smoother for students to hand in assignments with extra stuff like documents or media files.
