1. Edit Preset Grades
What's new?
You can now edit a preset grade after you've created it. Select Edit next to any preset to change its grade, its comment, or both.
Akindi shows how many responses were graded with that preset, and Save & regrade updates all of them at once.
Why we built this?
Presets help you grade written answers faster, but until now a preset couldn't be changed once it was saved - making even small changes, like typos, frustrating to manage.
Often the grading scheme can shift an instructor reads more student responses. Being able to automatically regrade all students at once, ensures grading consistency.
2. One 'Analytics' Tab
What's new?
All analytics in one place! Graphs and analytics now live together in a single 'Analytics' tab, so you can review how your assessment performed without switching between tabs.
Why we built this?
Results used to be split between two tabs, which meant switching back and forth to get the full picture of how an assessment went.
3. Clearer question import messaging
What's new?
When questions are uploaded to Akindi, instead of one catch-all 'question not ready' message, Akindi now sorts question issues into three groups, so instructors can see what needs attention and what doesn't:
Formatting issues: Questions that have structural issues, like an MCQ question without answer options, blank questions, or written answer questions in the wrong position. These issues are flagged in red and must be fixed prior to the assessment being download.
Missing answer keys: Questions with no marked answer. These are flagged in yellow.
Duplicate questions or answers: Flagged for your review, but they don't stop the assessment from being downloading.
Why we built this?
Every question problem used to appear under one message, so it was hard to tell what had to be fixed and what was just a heads-up.
Errors caused by questions missing answer keys, seemed scarier than they needed to be.
Duplicate questions errors were causing frustration when they were intentionally added by instructors.
