Skellefteå, Sweden, 8th of September 2020 – NUITEQ®, a collaborative software company that enables educational institutions to add value through smarter human interaction, announced today a new release of NUITEQ Snowflake, a remote learning solution that allows teachers to transform education and provide students with the platform they need to be able to learn anytime, anywhere.
Here’s what’s new:
- Added the ability to add a PDF to a lesson activity
To help teachers further enrich their instruction they can attach worksheets, vocabulary lists, lesson overviews and more, in a PDF format. This will allow them to use one interface only and not switch between Snowflake and a document reader, thus interrupting the activity, in order to show the document to their students.
- Added the ability to give feedback on an assignment using audio
This comes as an addition to the existing feature of recording video feedback. Both of these features simplify teachers’ work and enable students to receive feedback in multiple ways.
- Added the ability to add a description and other information to a lesson list from the ‘My lists' page
This new functionality helps both students who receive lists as homework and teachers who are looking for instructional material.
- Added an option to upload a lesson to the community as ‘unlisted’, making it public but not shown in search results
- Added a ‘Sign in using Clever’ single sign-on button to sign in to Snowflake.live using your Clever account
Teachers can now save time logging in by using their existing Clever account.
- Added the ability to import a class from a Classlink account
To make it even easier to create classes and send lesson activities to students, teachers can now import a class from their Classlink account.
- Added the ability for group admins to disable the display of names of lesson activity creators on the lesson activity card
- Made it such that student accounts can only share to a group and not upload to the Snowflake community
- Improved performance of the ‘My lesson activities’ page by adding numbered pages
- Improved performance when loading new lessons from the Snowflake community
- Improved user experience on the ‘My lists’ page by making the individual lists scrollable
- Updated the UI (user interface) on the notifications page
- Updated the UI on the profile page for students (removed the ability to add social media options)
- In Poll, Snowflake’s Student Response System, teachers can now choose whether students respond to a Poll anonymously or if they need to enter a name.
- General bug fixes and performance improvement
We strongly believe the new features in Snowflake will further help teachers with engaging students, whether they’re attending classes from home or the classroom.
