YuJa Engage Student Response System Update – April 2024

We have successfully pushed an update to all YuJa Engage Student Response System instances residing in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the European Union. This release provides our users with the option to share Question Banks, question navigation for participants, select multiple correct answers for Clickable Images, feature parity between the web and desktop app, new settings for activities, and enhanced UI for the Activity Chooser.

1. Share Question Banks With Other Members
   Question Banks can be shared with other members on the Engage platform to allow users to collaborate and quickly create activities.
   
2. Complete, Skip, and Return to Previously Unanswered Questions During an Activity
   Participants will have the option to skip to any specific questions they wish to answer. Answered questions will be marked in blue for tracking, and participants can easily return to unanswered questions in their activity with a click of a button.
   
3. Select Multiple Correct Answers for Clickable Image Questions
   For Clickable Image questions with more than one correct answer, poll creators can select multiple correct answers.
   
4. Feature Alignment Between the Engage Web App and the Desktop App for PowerPoint and Keynote
   We updated the Engage desktop app to include the following features:
   
   • Create activities within the desktop app for Keynote.
   • Insert Ranking question types.
   • Insert the Attendance activity.

   

5. Adjust the Duration of Class Results for Participants
   We have added a new setting that allows creators to customize the duration for which class results are visible to participants after answering each question.
   
6. New Countdown Settings When Manually Ending an Activity
   Creators can set a countdown timer to appear when an activity is manually ended, allowing participants to finish without the activity abruptly ending.
   
7. Increase the Time Limit for Polls and Questions
   After sharing a poll or an individual question, creators can dynamically adjust the time limit, extending the allotted time participants have to complete the activity.
   
8. Enhanced UI for the Activity Chooser
   When embedding activities into an LMS, the enhanced Activity Chooser will feature organized tabs for each activity and options to filter results.
