Signal sessions grew up this week: prepare your questions before class and release them one by one during the lesson, step back through any finished session with replay, and duplicate a session to run it again with another class.
Nurture Assessments
Improvements
- Assignment generation: Generated assignments no longer include instructions about how long a student should spend or exactly how to submit — that stays at your discretion.
- Security & reliability: We completed a round of proactive security hardening across the platform, further strengthening access controls, session security and data isolation between classrooms and schools.
Fixes
- AI feedback: In some setups the AI could treat the assignment’s marking scheme as if it were the student’s answers. Feedback is now always drafted from the student’s actual submission.
Nurture Signal
New
- Prepared questions: Build a full set of questions before a session starts — including hinge questions — and publish each one when the moment is right.
- Question types: Checking for Understanding now supports single- and multi-answer diagnostic questions, with AI guidance appearing inline the moment a question closes.
- Replay & duplicate: Step back through a finished session exactly as it unfolded, or duplicate one — questions and content included — to run it again.
- Engagement checkpoints: Add checkpoints that ask every student to check in on the Engagement Continuum at the moments you choose.
- PDF export: Export a full session — questions, responses and insights — as a print-friendly PDF.
Improvements
- Sharing: Start a session before anyone’s joined and Signal now prompts you with the share link, so a class is never left waiting at a blank screen.
- Joining: Students arriving late can now join a session while it’s paused instead of being locked out until it resumes.
- In-session UI: A tidier session header, a friendlier empty state for the participants list, a confirmation step before presentation mode opens, and less badge clutter on participant rows.
Fixes
- Sessions: Starting a session always returns the host to question 1, so the wrong question can’t be released by accident.
