High School Classes Now Use Courses 📘
High school students can now have their course set as the class grade, so everywhere the class appears (Classes page, assignments, or grade filters) it will show the course instead of a traditional grade. For existing classes, teachers will be prompted to select a course if the class has a traditional grade (9–12) or no grade.
Currently, this alignment is available for Common Core states, as well as Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, New Jersey, New York, and South Carolina. The curriculum team is working on adding more states and courses!
Lava on the Heatmap 🔥
Teachers can now see if a student used Lava (AI hints). If a student uses Lava, a Lava silhouette icon will appear on the heatmap for that answer.
A few notes on Lava on the Heatmap:
Answer checking takes priority over Lava usage.
On iPads, Lava will only show if students have version 3.38.0 or later.
If a student uses Lava, leaves Magma, and then comes back to answer, Lava usage may not be captured
