(13-01-2020) The next release is scheduled within approximately 5 days. This release will contain the following: 

Automated tests for Interactive Presentation
​This is not a visible improvement but makes it possible to automatically test the functionalities of Interactive Presentation. Included in the automated testing are for instance: creation of questions, editing of slides, verifying the settings and much more. This is part of our automated testing goals for all of our tools and their main functionalities.
​
​No more Announcements and Discussion Forum on the Platform
​Announcements and Discussion Forum are features that are only available on our Platform. They have been behind a feature flag for all users for a couple of months and are now being removed. For the users of our platform it is still possible to create comments directly in the folders, under the "Feature folder comments" feature flag which has already been enabled for those users. Existing announcements and Discussion Fora have also been converted to comments.
​
​Explanation Cards (beta, feature flagged for Assignment Review and Skill Review)
​As part of the Dotank project with the Eindhoven University of Technology, we created Explanation Cards. These cards can be created in the Assignment Review and Skill Review tools by teachers, these cards can contain information on common mistakes/misinterpretations. When the cards are created the teachers in the assignment can easily use the cards in their feedback to students. The teacher has an overview of all the cards used in their feedback and the students can see the reviews with the attached cards. The students also see an overview of the cards they were given in the final step of their assignment 'read and reflect'. Please watch the video below to see this in action. If you want to test this functionality you can contact our support or Annika Borgstede to enable it for your account.
