The big one this week: feedback review, redesigned. Instead of building feedback through an AI chat, teachers now start from a pre-filled draft — the comment, a suggested grade and a success-criteria breakdown — ready to review, tweak and approve. Same quality of feedback, far fewer steps.
Nurture Assessments
New
- Feedback review: Start from a complete pre-filled AI draft — comment, suggested grade and success-criteria breakdown — and review, adjust and approve, with AI help still on hand.
- Math notation: Equations, subscripts and superscripts are now supported in AI-generated assignments, the editor, and file transcripts.
Improvements
- AI editing: Ask the AI to change one part of your feedback and only that part changes — your manual edits everywhere else are left exactly as you wrote them.
- Feedback: No more drafts for work that wasn’t submitted — feedback and grades are no longer generated for students who haven’t handed anything in, and the no-submission flow makes that status clear.
Fixes
- Canvas: Approved grades for some assignments failed to sync back to Canvas.
- Microsoft Teams: Teachers and students on manually-managed rosters could hit a dead end signing in — students are now enrolled automatically the first time they open Nurture from Teams.
- AI feedback: Fixed an occasional error interrupting drafting when the AI response came back empty.
Nurture Signal
Improvements
- Engagement Continuum: Students can now tap a quick preset response instead of typing one from scratch — still fully editable before sending.
