Bug fixes
-
Fixed an issue where incorrect analysis values for questions and exercises were displayed
While validating the formula for calculating the P value, it was discovered that there was a discrepancy between the analysis values presented in the interface and the analysis values when using the existing formula in the codebase. The discrepancy impacts the P value, Rit and Rir values. A hotfix was deployed to prevent this issue from occurring again.
This hotfix is applied for newly submitted results to ensure the same issue does not occur again. A task has been created to recalculate impacted values and is scheduled in the week of September 25th. We expect the recalculation to be completed in a few days. We will update the post-mortem when all values have been recalculated.
We have also created a post mortem for this issue to provide more detailed information. The post mortem report can be found here.
-
Fixed an issue where marks of all attempts would be sent to the LMS via the "Send marks to LMS" button
Previously, when using the "Send marks to LMS" button from the results overview, the marks of all attempts would be sent to the LMS. We now only sent the attempt with the highest mark to the LMS.
-
Fixed an issue where it was not possible to use certain characters in a user's name
Some characters were not correctly accepted when creating or updating a user's profile. We now accept characters from unicode blocks Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A and Latin Extended-B.
-
Fixed an issue that prevented participants from filling in open questions when there were no attachments in a digital test
There was an issue that prevented participants from filling in their answers in open questions in digital tests. The issue was caused by the beta feature 'Incident detection' while the digital test did not have any attachments.
-
Fixed an issue where the result logs could not be opened for some students
In some rare cases the result logs would not load due to a technical error. The issue has now been fixed.
-
Fixed an issue when pressing the next button while adding an exercise to an assignment will cause incorrect additional info to be shown and redirect the user to the question bank page on refresh
When trying to add an exercise to an assignment by selecting the question from a question bank and pressing the next button, the form will show additional info that does not match the table and any page refresh after pressing the next button will redirect to the question bank instead of the question page. The form and redirect are now correctly set up and will work as intended.
-
Fixed an issue where it was not possible to open Ans through an LTI Deeplink connection without enabling the "Open in a new window" option in Blackboard
Previously, when a Blackboard user tried to access Ans through a Blackboard course, they had to manually enable "Open in a new window" option for each Blackboard course they had coupled with Ans. This caused Ans to become inaccessible, showing an unspecified browser error instead. With this fix, "Open in a new window" option is now enabled by default, making sure the Ans page is rendered properly.
-
Fixed an issue where results would not be marked as approved in the results overview if the results had a second Proctor Exam session without a recording
When a student started a second ProctorExam session but the timeslot expired before the student entered the test, the session would not have a recording.
This resulted in a session that could not be reviewed in ProctorExam, which, in turn, created a review on the result that stayed in the "awaiting review" state.
This has been fixed by preventing the creation of the review on the result on the sessions that can not be reviewed in ProctorExam.
-
Fixed an issue where underscores would be escaped in the preview of a written assignment
Previously, when using a backslash inside a code formatted description of a written assignment, the underscore was prefixed by a backslash (\_). We no longer show this backslash, so that only the underscore is printed.
-
Fixed an issue where importing an empty xls file would cause an error when attempting to open the file
When an empty .xls file was used for one of the imports such as the metadata import, an error occured because the importer could not read an empty file and therefore did not know what to do with it.
-
Fixed an issue where the incorrect equation is used during grading of mathematical equation questions
When a student submitted multiple equations in a digital test that contains mathematical equation questions, the last created equation should be used as the submitted answer. However if a student updates the first equation after the creation of a second equation, then the first equation would be used as the submitted answer instead. This issue has now been fixed.
We have performed an impact analysis and have found no cases where this issue resulted in an incorrect amount of points.
-
Fixed an issue where importing questions with links using QTI would add the link twice
When importing a question with a HTML link using QTI, the content inside the<a>tag was imported twice. This has been resolved.
-
Fixed an issue where student was not able to start a new attempt if a previous attempt was removed
Previously, when an assignment allowed multiple attempts and one of the attempts was removed, the student would not be able to start a new attempt.
