Features

PRAC-1828 Practique for browser (P4B) number of logins for candidates doing written exams

This brings the ability to set the number of times a candidate can login to an exam. This is a setting configured by the Practique team and must be specifically requested, otherwise there is no restriction on this number. Additionally, your exam manager can allow further logins for a candidate if necessary.

Improvements

PRAC-1757 VSA Improvements

The VSA marking form now allows bulk changes, so that scores for all responses can be changed at once. This makes the workflow significantly smoother, and speeds up the marking process. Page load times have also been sped up considerably. 

PRAC-1794 Speeding up the Candidate Feedback Report

In this release, we have significantly sped up the generation of the Candidate Feedback Report, when the report contains Dimension breakdowns.

PRAC-1793 Display Custom Block Titles on the Dashboard

It is possible to give each Exam Block a custom title in Practique. This is displayed on the iPad, to make the exam listings easier to navigate. This custom block title is now displayed on the Dashboard also.

PRAC-1772 Display full name in approval workflow

Practique now displays the full name of the approver when sending an email to submit an Item, Item Set or Resource for approval, as opposed to the username.

Fixes

PRAC-1773 Limit on size of Excel exports

Previously, Excel exports (xlsx) were limited to 256 columns. This has now been changed to 16,384

PRAC-1506, 1795 Support for unicode characters in resource files and Item rejection emails

Previously, Practique raised an error when unicode characters (eg emojis 🐙) were used as resource file names, or in emails sent by the system about Item approvals/rejections. This is now supported.

PRAC-1766 Item authoring text boxes did not autoexpand

In this release we restored the ability for Item authoring text boxes to expand automatically.

PRAC-1767 Support for averaging Angoff scores, where some scores are blank

Previously, Practique would fail to average the Angoff scores correctly if some of the items in an item set did not have an Angoff cut score. These are now excluded from the average.

PRAC-1189 Fixed a typo in the description on the item import page

PRAC-1808 Fixed support for displaying mathematical equations

This was due to excluding a library.

Security

There are no security fixes in this release.
