Below is an overview of updates to G-W Ignite. If you have questions about the update, please submit a ticket. 

 

March 2024 Release Notes:

• Multi-Class Assignment improvements. When assigning to multiple classes, there is now improved performance and a progress bar.

• Added CSV Download Security. Instructor or admins requesting a report will receive a secure link via email, which will now require them to log in. This additional security measure has been implemented to safeguard the personal identifiable information (PII) contained within these reports.
• Instructor correct answer preview bug. There was a bug that allowed instructors when previewing an assignment to change the correct answer when displaying the assignments correct answers. This has been fixed and should no longer confuse instructors when clicking on different answers.

 

Feb 2024 Release Notes:

• Improved Manual Graded Assignment Workflow. The grading menu for assignments has been updated to help streamline and reduce the time instructors spend grading assignments, enhancing efficiency.
  • A new “Give Full Credit” button has been added. Clicking this button will automatically give the maximum points for the item being graded.

• • Keyboard commands can now be used to navigate between Previous or Next Student as well as between the Previous and Next Item.

 

To view the keyboard commands, hover over the info icon:

• School and District Admin “Clear Filter”. School and District admins now have a “Clear filter” option to start a search or filter over.

 

Jan 2024 Release Notes:

• When students search for an assignment in the "My Assignments" area, the system will now also search by the subtitle wording.
• The Grade Review section will now include a status column that allows an instructor to see actions taken by a student on the assignment.

Dec, 2023 Release Notes:

• Updates have been made to allow for Video Player Accessibility Keyboard Controls. In a Video/Animation or Video/Animation quiz, use the following keyboard commands to navigate and control the video player for playing or pausing:
  • While the focus is on the seek bar:
    • Press the Right Arrow to increase the video progress by 1 second.
    • Press Shift+Right Arrow to increase the video progress by 8 seconds.
    • Press the Left Arrow to decrease the video progress by 1 second.
    • Press Shift+Left Arrow to decrease the video progress by 8 seconds.
  • While the focus is on the play/pause button:
    • Press Enter or Space Bar to Play video if it is paused or Pause video if it is being played.
• Assignments in the gradebook are now automatically sorted by last name.
• There was a visual bug when selecting the toggle for “Show only manually scored items” that would not display the rubric for an instructor when grading. This bug has been fixed. 

 

Oct 27, 2023 Release Notes: 

• A notification will automatically appear if the site is down.  
• Students can now record a video directly within the platform in an activity with Upload questions. This is similar to the previous update when audio recording was added. 
  • https://support.g-w.com/staff/kb/articles/545
• The user interface has been fixed for Instructors to download student’s uploaded files. The download button was being blocked from the grading menu on the right on larger screens. 
• Questions and the "Go To" Page numbering have been updated for consistency. For example, when page or question numbers are referenced while an instructor is grading.
