These notes provide information about the release of Engageli 3.1.41, including new and enhanced features, improvements, and resolved issues.
Exciting New Features
- Android Mobile App for Learners
- Android users can join their Engageli classrooms from their mobile devices. “Audio only mode” allows users to join the classroom without an internet connection.
- Course summary
- Instructors have the option to change the class configuration settings to enable a generated summary for recorded sessions to be emailed after the session. This is set to off by default. The summary can be viewed by all and edited by the instructor in the Playback room.
- Interaction Controls
- More advanced controls for better classroom management including disabling the Chat feature in Playback rooms, disabling anonymous Q&A posts, and making class recordings Private by default.
