Realize and Realize Reader Release Notes

Release 23.7.7 - July 21, 2023

Discussions moved to Assignments

Discussions is now a part of Assignments and the UI has been updated to match the rest of Realize. When a teacher assigns a Discussion prompt to students, they will see the new UI.

Release 23.7.5 - July 13, 2023

Enhanced experience for Teachers - Data Tab

The Data tab is now available with a fresh look and feel for Teachers. The layout has been simplified for improved ease of use along with the following key updates:

  • Class Results by Assignment is now called Results by Assessment with a better view of completed assessments in a simplified tabular format.

  • Class Mastery by Standard is now called Standards Progress Report with the ability to show scores in points or percentage for Standard Analysis and Student Analysis.

  • MSDA and LSDA Diagnostic assessments display new report colors.

Classes Menu

Students now have a handy fly-over menu when they hover over the Classes tab. The menu expands to provide quick access to all of the students' classes, along with a search feature that helps students see only the class they are interested in.

Updated Assignment Listing Page

The assignment listing page for students has been completely revamped. The new view enables students to search for specific assignments. We also have consolidated the previous statuses of Not Started/In Progress/Complete to a simpler set of statuses of To Do/Complete. We have also moved the Grades tab from its former position in the top navigation to its new location under the Classes menu with a different name.

Grades tab moved and renamed “Test Scores”

The tab Grades is now called Test Scores. This new name more accurately reflects its purpose, which is only to show results on assessments. This page has been simplified so that it only contains a tabular view of assessment scores.

Direct access to Assignments from the Assignment Listing page

An interstitial page that used to load in between the class assignment listing page and the assignment itself has been removed. Students now have one less click to get to their assignments!

Direct access to Comments and File Attachments from the Assignment Viewer

Tools like commenting and file attachment are now available right at the point of use within the assignment viewer.

Early Learner Theme Retirement

The Early Learner Theme has been retired. This decision was made so that we could focus our efforts on providing a single unified student experience that works for all grade levels. This approach is similar to many other LMSes in the market, and it will enable us to focus on providing the best unified experience possible for all students.
