Presentation   2017   January

January

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.

 

1.30.2017

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

  • Nothing new this week.  Sorry.

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

  • The reset password link on presentation.foliotek.com was not allowing users to reset their password.
  • Projects that required the student to select the standard that should be used for evaluating it and also allowed the student to submit it when they were ready was accidentally being submitted if the student had selected the standard and then changed the project image.
  • Accessible account users were not able to create Personal portfolios that were copies of their Assessment portfolio.
  • The 'submit' button for student-submitted projects was moved to allow more room for long project titles.

Submit Button Moved

  • Some institutions were unable to run a Portfolio Form report because none of the published forms were being listed for selection when setting the report parameters.
  • An issue was corrected with forms in copied portfolios.  If an administrator made a copy of a portfolio that contained forms and then removed a form from the new copy, the form would also be removed from the original portfolio.
  • Some improvements were made to Presentation editable terms.

What we're working on

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

  • Nothing really close right now.

1.23.2017

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

  • We paginated the Student List page when scoring evaluations to help the page load faster for evaluators and added a student search to make it easier to find a particular student to score.

Evaluation Student List Page

 

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

  • The search feature in the administrator Resources area would return results for resources that had been removed from a particular portfolio but were still in use by a another portfolio.
  • Some users were unable to upload files into their Assessment acount for a short time last week.
  • A few Presentation users were unable to download selected files from their Files area.
  • Faculty members who had been given administrative permissions to Forms were unable to add external evaluators to forms used in the portfolio.
  • Placing documents into a Presentation portfolio was placing the same document every time, even though different documents were being selected.
  • The evaluation set up system was allowing administrators to set up multiple Portfolio-Integrated Evaluations to score the same student-added elements.  This caused submission and reporting problems for those evaluations.
  • For evaluations undergoing revision, the "phase" dropdown list that allows the evaluator to view previously scored phases was duplicating some of the options.
  • For Community Moderators, the ePortfolio History and Historical Comparison reports were not showing portfolios for users with expired accounts.
  • The Content Type when creating an ePortfolio now defaults to the the 'Blank Portfolio' type.
  • Some adjustments were made to the new dashboard in Presentation accounts.
  • If an administrator used the upload feature when adding external evaluators to a form, the system failed to ensure that the students uploaded actually had the correct portfolio for that form.

What we're working on

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

  • Nothing really close right now.

  • The community share indicators showing which community(ies) a portfolio was shared in weren't staying highlighted and could be removed by sharing in a different community.
