26.3.0.0 release notes

Passage Generator: Text length limit updated

The maximum supported Text length for Passage Generator is now clearly set to 999. If a value above this limit is entered, a message will display, and the Generate button will be inactive until the value is adjusted.

The tooltip is also updated to reflect the correct limit of 999 words, paragraphs, or stanzas.

Removed edit option for rubrics used in tests within SOLR

Updated SOLR rubric search behavior to prevent editing of rubrics that are already used in released tests. Rubrics not used in released tests continue to show a functional edit option.

Standards Explorer: unaligned content with detailed item breakdown

The Unaligned Content indicator in Standards Explorer is fully interactive, allowing users to click the count to open a modal that lists unaligned assessment items by organization, interaction type, and Depth of Knowledge with all existing filters applied. From the modal, users can quickly pivot into Solr searches that are pre-filtered for unaligned content plus any active Standards Explorer filters, enabling faster review and cleanup of items that are not aligned to curriculum standards. In High Stakes mode, the Unaligned Content row remains non-interactive by design, preserving existing safety constraints while leaving the new experience available in standard workflows.

Standards Explorer: toggle for filters and item counts

Standards Explorer now includes an Enable Filters and Item Counts toggle that keeps the page fast by default while letting users opt into a more detailed view when needed. When turned on, filters and item counts are displayed, with a clear tooltip explaining that enabling them may slow performance. This change improves perceived performance and gives users more control while longer-term Solr optimizations are pursued.

Text wrap support across interactions

Text wrap support has been improved across multiple interaction types where it was previously unavailable due to rendering and editor limitations.

• Enabled text wrap in interactions that previously did not support CKEditor styling or had rendering constraints.

• Improved consistency of text display across supported interaction types.

• Addressed issues where dialog-based interactions prevented text wrap from being applied.

Some interaction types that do not contain text content, such as Graphing, Select Image, Picture Drag and Drop, Upload, Audio, and Draw, remain unaffected as text wrapping is not applicable.

Answer Key Only tests

Resolved an issue where section descriptions in AKO tests were not editable.

MathML fraction rendering in Test Review

Resolved an issue where MathML fractions were incorrectly displayed as whole numbers in Test Review within the student portal and Student Item Analysis reports.

Alt text editing and validation in image-based interactions

Resolved issues related to alt text handling for uploaded images across image-based interactions.

• Resolved an issue where the alt text modal could not be reopened after initially adding alt text, preventing users from editing existing descriptions in interactions such as Picture Drag and Drop and Select Image.

• Enabled the ability to reopen and update alt text for uploaded images without requiring access to QTI.

• Resolved an issue where the alt text modal appeared blank when attempting to edit an existing image.

• Added a character limit indicator (max 256).

These updates improve accessibility workflows and provide a more consistent and user-friendly experience when managing alt text.

Items with MathML in OLA

Enhanced the user experience for OLA pages with MathML content by adding a loading indicator, including a spinner to clearly show when content is being rendered.

Observational Assessments

Resolved an issue where users encountered an error message when attempting to duplicate Observational Assessments.

Scroll bar in SIA

Resolved an issue in SIA where the top horizontal scroll bar would move but the report content did not scroll accordingly. This prevented users from viewing report results beyond the visible area.

Text to Speech

Resolved the following issues with text-to-speech (TTS):

• TextHelp Text-to-Speech did not read all content in items containing multiple HTML passages.

  • TTS now reads all HTML passages and associated interactions within an item, ensuring complete and consistent audio support for users.

• TextHelp Text-to-Speech did not consistently read and highlight the item stem and answer choices when the play button was clicked. In some cases, TTS also read surrounding headers that are not part of the item content.

  • TTS now correctly focuses on and highlights the item stem and answer choices while excluding non-relevant header content, providing a clearer and more accurate reading experience.

• TextHelp Text-to-Speech did not follow the visual reading order in items with side-by-side layouts.

  • TTS now reads content in the correct top-to-bottom order as displayed on screen, including all passage content and associated text, ensuring a coherent and accessible reading experience for students.

Text-to-Speech restart behavior in multi-passage items

Resolved an issue with the TextHelp SpeechStream TTS toolbar in the OLA assessment player where the Stop and Play functionality did not reset playback as expected for multi-passage items.

Units of Measure and Scoring Tools in Progress Monitoring

Resolved an issue where Units of Measure and Scoring Tools were not appearing in menus during Progress Monitoring for interventions.
