Presentation   2017   September

September

At Foliotek, we work hard to provide the best assessment and portfolio software possible.  To do that, we make changes every week.  Sometimes we fix things that don't work, other times we release new features to improve your experience.  Below you will find a description of the changes we have made this month.

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

  • Sorry...nothing new this week.

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

  • There were times when our email servers would send two emails when a student shared a portfolio or project privately.
  • The screen displaying a users score on the GRIT Gauge had some style issues.
  • Some users were unable to create new portfolios because they were shown a 'loading portfolio' message that would never go away.
  • The color algorithm used to suggest colors for the ID page text and background was experiencing difficult when the user changed the background image.

What we're working on

Watch for these items to be released in the next few weeks:

  • We have begun working to improve the functionality of our portfolio system for people with disabilities.

9.11.2017

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

  • Sorry...nothing new this week.

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

  • Projects added as files in an Assessment portfolio were not opening.
  • Some students were able to register new accounts without entering the necessary Portfolio code.
  • When users mis-type a username or password too many times, our captcha system requires them to prove they are not a robot.  The message has been clarified that appears when a student mis-types the information enough times to require the captcha but then enters the correct information.  For security reasons, once the captcha appears, it must still be completed even if the correct username and password are entered.

Required Captcha

  • Some students, who were registering accounts through their school portal, were not being correctly added to Foliotek.
  • The resume feature on our ID page was not allowing documents to be uploaded.
  • When students were completing activities, the system was allowing them to close the activity before larger files had completed the upload process.  As a result, the files were not being added to the activity.
  • Videos created vertically on a user's phone were not being properly rotated when displayed in Foliotek.

What we're working on

Watch for these items to be released in the next few weeks:

  • Nothing close enough to mention at the moment.

9.5.2017

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

  • We made a change to improve how Foliotek handles images.  You shouldn't see anything different, just know it is being done more efficiently.

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

  • Users who attempted to create a Foliotek account through another website, such as Blackboard, were getting the wrong accounts because of cookie issues.  We installed an alert message to notify users that their cookie settings were preventing them from properly creating an account.  We also added a help menu page to provide instruction on changing cookie settings.

Cookies Issue

  • We corrected an issue where it was possible for user accounts to get confused if two users logged into their accounts on the same computer in the same browser at the same time.

What we're working on

Watch for these items to be released in the next few weeks:

  • Nothing close enough to mention at the moment.
