New Features & Updates

Item Level Teacher Feedback

We’ve added the ability for instructors to provide item-level feedback on course assessments and managed assessments (AMP).
Providing feedback is critical to students to help improve their outcomes. Once provided, the feedback is readily available to students when they need it.
