Release Notes - Summer 2024

Add A Co-Teacher

Teachers can now add other Teachers as Co-Teachers to their classes. Co-Teachers have full access to the class, similar to the original teacher, with the exception of adding more Co-Teachers or receiving class-related emails.

Co-Teachers can assign Missions, run GameShows, view Reports, and access Student information. The original Teacher can also transfer class ownership to a new Teacher after adding them as a Co-Teacher. Here’s a full guide on adding a Co-Teacher to a class. Access the Co-Teacher Guide

• Teachers can now view and update student passwords directly, without having to bypass the password-locked security check. Additionally, they can easily download the Login Info PDF for their entire class.
• The maximum size of custom activities has been limited to 50 questions to ensure optimal stability for student assignments and to maintain report viewing functionality.
• The class size for ClassOS Pro has been capped at 60 students to ensure optimal performance, including smooth operation of GameShows and report viewing.
• To enhance student privacy, direct links to other students on the Mathalon Winners page have been removed from student accounts.
• A security check has been added during account creation to prevent bot sign-ups.
• A new Unauthorized Error page will now appear instead of automatically logging users out when a website error occurs. If you encounter this page, please try clearing your browser’s cache and then log in again.
• The ability to create student accounts independently has been removed. Now, accounts can only be created by a teacher or with the teacher's permission to join their class, ensuring better student privacy.

The Premium upgrade is now called ClassOS Pro.
