We are pleased to announce the release of excellent new features within the Digication Assessment Management System (AMS). For those of you who are not currently using the Digication AMS, the following features will not affect you in any way.

First, thanks to all of you who have been giving us feedback! This release of new features is designed to help faculty members manage their classrooms more effectively using the Digication AMS.

Enhanced Data Grid Functionality
The data grids under the “Assignment” and “Standards” tabs are now even more interactive. Clicking on any column or row headings or cells will allow you to access more related information in a “drilled down” fashion.

All of the above feature enhancements are available immediately. Simply log into your Digication system and check out the “Assignment” and “Standards” tabs of any course or assessment groups. (Please note that your school must have the assessment management system turned on. If in doubt, either contact us at support@digication.com, or your school’s Digication administrator).

We were notified a few days ago that embedding TeacherTube.com videos no longer worked. We looked into it, turns out they changed the way their videos are embedded in other sites. Unfortunately the change they made is incompatible with all the old embedded content – meaning that all the existing blogs and webpages that had embedded TeacherTube videos no longer work.

We’ve updated our software so that new and existing videos on our site work again. Embedding new videos may have a few quirks, but we’re working to iron out the last of the issues now. It appears that many of the videos no longer show the option to embed in other websites and the site having load problems, which is contributing to problems with the embedded video.

If you’re looking to embed videos in your site, please know we also support and recommend YouTube, SchoolTube, Vimeo, Google Video, and BrightCove for video hosting.
