Aula Product Updates: October 2024
✅ Completed Work
1️⃣ Learnosity Updates
✔️ New quizzes can no longer be created using Learnosity to ensure a smooth transition.
✔️ Existing Learnosity quizzes may not work as expected.
2️⃣ Organizing Quiz Submission Data
The quiz data was originally in a complex format (JSON), which was hard to read.
The team converted it into a structured, easy-to-use format for better access.
Stored the cleaned-up data in Google Drive so institutions can easily find it.
Created a visual tool that lets institutions view, print, and download quiz submissions.
3️⃣ Faster & Smoother Aula Editor
✔️ We upgraded the Aula Editor to the latest version across all systems.
What’s better?
Faster performance – Pages and content load quicker.
Bug fixes – Fewer glitches when editing.
Improved experience – Easier, smoother writing and formatting.
👉 This means a better and more reliable editing experience for everyone!
4️⃣ Accessibility Statement Page
A new accessibility page was added to Aula to help all users navigate the platform easily.
The link to this page was placed in the footer of the website for quick access.
🐞 Bug Fixes
1️⃣ Fix for Community Feed Not Loading
Problem: Some users experienced issues with the community feed not loading properly.
Solution:
✔️ We fixed the issue and added extra tests to prevent it from happening again.
2️⃣ Missing Web Tracking Data
Problem:
Since March, web events were not being tracked properly due to a system error.
This meant we were not getting accurate data on how students and educators used the platform.
✔️Solution:
The data team identified the issue and the data now displays correctly.
3️⃣Coventry Conversations Issue
Problem:
Some educators reported that their past conversations were disappearing for them.
This was affecting their ability to review old discussions with students.
✔️Solution:
A temporary fix was applied to limit open conversations to 50 to prevent further issues.
A long-term fix was discussed with the product team to fully resolve the problem.
Users can still access older conversations by reopening them, which moves them back into the active list.
