Product changelog

Published 28 June 2026

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).
