EdisonOS Updates: April 2023

EdisonOS is constantly striving to provide its users with an exceptional platform experience, and we're excited to share some of the latest updates that have been implemented in April. These updates are aimed at enriching your experience and providing a more holistic solution to your needs. We've made significant feature enhancements and upgrades to our platform that are designed to make your experience even better. Explore, below, our platform feature enhancements and upgrades.

Assessment enhancements

1. Assessment annotation

EdisonOS now offers an annotation feature that is designed to provide test-takers with a way to mark text in passages and questions, and to add notes and comments for future reference. This means that students can easily highlight key information or jot down their thoughts about a particular question or passage, without having to worry about losing track of their notes. The annotations are saved and can be accessed later during the exam, which can be a huge time-saver for students who need to refer back to specific parts of the exam.

Additionally, the annotation feature is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. Test-takers can simply click on a word or phrase to highlight it, and then add a note or comment. They can also choose from a variety of highlighting colors and styles to help them organize their annotations.

By providing a way to easily refer back to important information, students can avoid having to waste time searching through the entire exam again. This can also help them avoid making mistakes or misinterpreting questions, which can ultimately lead to better performance.

As an educator, you understand the importance of providing your students with comprehensive practice sessions for competitive exams or simulating the actual exam environment to help them prepare effectively. With EdisonOS, you can easily replicate competitive exams by generating questions, applying adaptive logic, and including various types of questions, allowing your students to get a realistic and effective learning experience.

To ensure that your students are well-informed about the assessments they need to take, EdisonOS now provides learners with comprehensive details about every assessment they are enrolled in. For example, if you enrol a new learner in an upcoming assessment, they will receive an email notification containing all the assessment details, including the date, time, duration, and type of questions they can expect. This makes it convenient for them to refer to and attend the assessment without having to search for the necessary information.

By leveraging EdisonOS, you can offer a streamlined and efficient assessment process for your students, allowing them to focus on their performance and achieve their desired outcomes. With the comprehensive assessment details provided by EdisonOS and the ability to replicate competitive exams, you can help your students prepare effectively and confidently for their exams.

As an admin, managing assessments and allocated users can be a complex and time-consuming task. To simplify this process, EdisonOS has added a powerful search functionality that allows admins to quickly search for and locate specific users within an assessment.

With the search functionality, admins can easily locate users within an assessment by searching for their name, email, or other identifying information. This means that they can efficiently allocate assessments to specific users and ensure that all users are accounted for. Additionally, this feature allows admins to easily monitor the progress of individual users, identify potential issues or concerns, and provide support where necessary.

By using the search functionality, admins can save time and effort, allowing them to focus on other important tasks. Rather than manually scrolling through long lists of users, they can quickly and easily locate the users they need.
