Say hello to Checking for Understanding — a new Signal session type built on an established misconceptions framework. Pose a carefully-designed hinge question, watch responses land in real time, and let Nurture suggest whether to move on, revisit, or regroup — whole class or small groups.
Nurture Assessments
New
- Assignment creation: Creating an assignment with AI is now a staged, step-by-step flow — set the task up, review what’s generated at each step, and refine as you go instead of getting everything at once.
- Student insights: A new insights view pulls a student’s work together into an AI-generated picture of their strengths and where to focus next.
Improvements
- Feedback: Refining a single section now opens a full editor where you can edit directly and preview exactly what the student will see.
Fixes
- Canvas: Fixed a visual alignment issue in the create-assignment panel so it sits flush with the Canvas tray.
Nurture Signal
New
- Checking for Understanding: Run diagnostic hinge questions live in class and get AI-generated guidance on what to do next.
- Dispositions: Ask students how they’re approaching their learning with the new disposition question type.
Improvements
- Answers: After choosing an answer, students are now asked “Why did you choose this answer?” — surfacing reasoning, not just the selection.
- Session settings: The settings panel is reorganised into clearer groups, and a couple of redundant toggles are gone.
- Engagement Continuum: Hosts can turn off the preset quick-select responses if they’d rather students always answer in their own words.
- Security & reliability: We shipped a round of proactive hardening around session data access and participant identity.
Fixes
- Admin dashboard: Reactions now count correctly (the counter was stuck at zero).
