Jul 1, 2025July 2025: Focused on extending tagging capabilities, refining peer review workflows, and stabilizing grading and progress features. Delivered Differentiation Tag Import via CSV and SIS, enabling bulk create/update of differentiation tags and tag sets with user assignments and a frontend upload/progress UI; introduced dynamic per-course Peer Review Allocation with a course-specific flag and UI adjustments; fixed submitted_at timestamps in SpeedGrader across multiple attempts and checkpoints; and stabilized UX by reverting the Student Progress Wheel updates that caused LTI polling spikes. These changes improve data accuracy, workflow flexibility, and platform reliability, delivering measurable business value through faster tagging, flexible grading workflows, and a quieter production surface.
