Students can now answer by uploading files, teachers can reopen a session that ended too soon, and a wrong answer key can be fixed after students have answered.
Nurture Signal
New
- File upload questions: Students can answer by uploading up to 10 files (PDF, PNG, JPEG or WEBP, up to 20 MB each). Teachers can open the files on each response, and marking against success criteria and personalised feedback read them too. Turn it on for a question when you need it. It is off by default.
- Reopen a session: Ended a session by accident? Press Resume (live sessions) or Reopen (quizzes) on the toolbar. Within 8 hours it reopens straight away. After that, you are asked first. If a session can’t be reopened, the button stays on screen and tells you why.
- Fix a correct answer after students have answered: If an answer key is wrong, you can now change which option is correct. You are asked to confirm first. Every answer is marked again, personalised feedback is refreshed, grades already sent to Canvas or Teams are updated, and the question shows when the answer was changed.
- Parents and supporters: From a student’s profile, add a parent (or supporter) by email. They can follow the student’s work in the classroom, read only.
- Images in the question box: Add a picture with the new Image button, or paste or drop one straight into the question. Teachers can add images to check-ins too, and students see them wherever the check-in appears.
Improvements
- Generate with AI: Choose how many of each type you want, whether you start from a topic or a file. A file no longer decides how many questions you get, and the new defaults are closer to what teachers really run. Engagement checks now only ask how students feel.
- Getting started: New teachers are guided to create a first session, then run one with students. “Create your account” now shows as done, so progress starts at 1 of 3.
- Reflection: A published assessment’s Reflection slide now shows the type of reflection and a Preview of what students will see.
- Joining a session: The join page now tells students whether the code is wrong, the session has ended or the quiz is closed.
- Dashboard: Loads faster and shows placeholders while it loads.
- Share cards: Shared session cards always read “By” followed by the teacher’s name.
- Roster: The “You” badge now matches the Co-teacher badge.
Fixes
- Students tab: Students typed in by hand for paper (low-tech) sessions now appear once, with one progress profile, instead of once for every session.
- Maths: Plain numbers such as years or head-counts no longer open the maths keyboard in a text answer.
- Documents: A locked or damaged PDF now gives a clear message, rather than a misleading page-count error that Retry could never fix.
