Aula Product Updates: May 2026

Happy anniversary to this newsletter! 🥳 It’s been over a year since our first Monthly Updates was shared! Our celebration was based on hearing your invaluable feedback (and students’ too) on various matters, from assessment item mapping to analytics tracking.

✅ Completed Work

👩🏻‍💻Easier Management of Linked Assessments

Goal: Simplify how educators manage linked assessments.
Update: Educators can now remove the mapping of linked assessments with a single click using a checkbox or cross button. Improvements also make assessment names easier to view and manage.

📊Improved Analytics for Groups

Goal: Better understand how users interact with groups.
Update: New analytics now capture actions such as visiting group pages, searching for participants, and starting and then cancelling group creation. This helps improve the experience based on real usage. 

📚Materials Experience Improvements

Goal: Make materials clearer and easier to navigate.
Update: A new ‘empty’ state has been added when no materials are available, helping users understand the page status. The materials layout and sidebar have also been improved for better navigation.

🐞 Bug Fixes

🔙Participant History Back Button on Mobile

Problem: The back button was not working on smaller screens.
✔️ Solution: This has been fixed, and navigation now works correctly on mobile devices.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑Unassigned List in Group Creation

Problem: The unassigned list appeared empty when creating groups from an empty group set.
✔️ Solution: The issue has been resolved, and educators can now see the correct list when adding participants.
