Release 05/05/2022
Hey Everyone,
On May 5th, we will be releasing the following features. If you have any questions about anything listed here, feel free to reach out to Erik or myself.
Removal of Recording Options from the Modality Options when Creating/Editing an Exam
We've removed the recording options from the modality options when creating or editing an exam. This will mean that after this release, the options to record webcam, record screen, and record audio will be on by default and no one will have the option to turn these settings off.
Screen Sharing Instructions Improvement
The screen sharing step in Automated/Hybrid now has much more direction to tell the student how to share their screen. See the image below for a full view of what this now looks like. Students will now also need to click the share screen button in order for the share screen window to pop up. This change was made to make onboarding more consistent across the board, as this was the only place where we had an unprompted pop-up of any kind.
Share Video Button moved to Sharing Tab
We've moved the Share Video button in Session Details to the sharing tab, see the attached image.
Proctors will now be able to text chat with students while approving them
The existing text chat functionality once a student is let into a room has been added to the approval area, so that proctors can text chat with students during the proctor review process if needed.
Other SmarterProctoring Improvements
- The list of annotations on a session will no longer include annotations that the proctor denied (deleted)
- Accessibility improvements were made to the first time enrollment process for SmarterProctoring, so that a student can complete that process with only a keyboard.
- If sessions were cancelled, you can now view the videos for those cancelled sessions if there was any recording.
- Fixed an issue where you could not view sessions details of a closed hybrid session that was scheduled using SmarterScheduling.
- Fixed an issue where the Exams by Week report was missing open exams.
- Fixed an issue where the Exams by Week report had data changing based on accommodations made for certain students.
- The timer (in the hybrid proctor view) will now update when the student is waiting to be approved.
SmarterMeasure+ Improvements
- Fixed an issue with image sizes not reflecting properly from the assessment builder to the student assessment taking view
- Fixed a permissions issue that could cause an error that said "an error occurred with your internal auth".
