Awards

To provide greater flexibility when creating Awards, instructors can now enter more detailed information in award text fields. This update increases character limits and preserves formatting, allowing clearer criteria, descriptions, and evidence to display consistently across Award views.

The following fields now support increased character limits:

  • Name (256 characters)
  • Description (512 characters)
  • Criteria (1000 characters)
  • Evidence (on issued award) (1000 characters)

Previously, text fields had lower character limits, which restricted context and detailed instructions. In addition, line breaks entered in these fields were not consistently preserved when Awards were displayed.

Classlist

Instructors can now export Classlist details to CSV. The Export button enables full or partial user exports, mirroring Classlist view content for offline or administrative use.

Printed Classlists now include pronouns (if visible) and course identifiers, providing more complete context for in-person workflows and record keeping.

Pulse

This release improves the reliability, timeliness, and consistency of engagement tracking from Pulse. This enhancement ensures that engagement data more accurately reflects how learners are interacting with their courses across platforms.

Engagement-related events in Pulse are now logged immediately. For example, when a learner taps a course to open it, the Course Access details are sent to the database, the Last Accessed date in Classlist updates, and an Intelligent Agent that checks for course engagement knows not to notify the instructor. Downstream tools that report on learner engagement now represent both Web and Pulse activity equally.

Previously, Pulse events were sent asynchronously in batches, resulting in missing or late engagement tracking data and discrepancies between different tools.

Key improvements:

  • System Access Start events are sent immediately when the app is launched.
  • System Access Start events are decoupled from System Access End events.
  • When the app is in the background or idle, System Access End events are sent after 30 minutes of inactivity.
  • Course Access events are sent immediately when a user clicks into a course.
