Release notes were designed to give an overview of new, enhanced, & fixed items released to customers.

New Features

New items represent new features / functionality that have been added to ScholarRx applications.

Abstract Question Type

The ‘Abstract’ question is a new type of question that requires test takers to analyze a given scenario. They are often used to test the understanding of experiments or clinical investigations.

Qmax Management Application – ‘Preview’ Tab

To improve how 'Abstract' question types are used in the Qmax Management application, the 'Preview' tab will now show all questions from a set when any single question from that set is chosen for a test. This change ensures that selecting one question from a set automatically includes all associated questions.

The Qmax Managment application currently has limited support for set questions. When adding an individual question from a set to a test, all questions from that set appear in the preview. However, not all of these questions are included on the final test or shown on the 'Manage Questions' tab. Full support for set questions is planned for a future update, which will be implemented prior to the introduction of abstract question types in our question banks.

Enhancements

Enhancements represent items that have been added to the software to increase usability.

Qmax Management – Update to Logic for Tests Assigned to Student Groups

Previously, when a faculty-assigned test was assigned to a student group before a student was added to the group, faculty had to create a copy of the test and assign it to each student individually.

Now, tests assigned to a student group without an end date, or where the end date has not been exceeded, will automatically be assigned to students when they join the group.

Students who join a student group after a test has been assigned and published will see a notification on their dashboard; however, they will not receive an email notification that a test has been assigned to them.
