Aula Product Updates February 2025
✅Completed Work
Security Improvements:
- Session Management Enhancements: the session duration before the user is automatically logged out was reduced from 5 days to 30 minutes. Parallelly, an auto-logout was implemented after 30 minutes of inactivity, with a warning pop-up.
Feature Enhancements:
Space Selection
- Users now have access to an optimized and more stable space selection feature (the list where all your spaces are in the platform).
- Cookie banner implementation on Aula website: When logging in for the first time, users will see a banner at the bottom of the page with two options: “Accept non-essential cookies” or “Reject non-essential cookies.” Once a choice is made, the banner will not appear again.
- Student assessment journey dashboard finalized: It provides educators with insights into student progress and submissions.
🐞Bug Fixes
Material Reordering Issue
- Problem: educators couldn’t reorder materials when the count was around 200–300 items.
- Solution: we used a database script to fix this issue, so now materials can be reordered smoothly.
Participant Count Bug
- Problem: When adding a participant, the count didn’t update automatically (only after a page refresh).
- Solution: Now, the count updates instantly, even for lists exceeding 100 participants.
Engagement Analytics
- Problem: some pieces of data were missing from the Engagement Insights dashboard.
- Solution: Fixed root causes and implemented validation checks to ensure data integrity.
