Product Updates

We have successfully pushed an update to all YuJa FeedbackFlow Assessment Platform instances residing in the US, Canada, Australia, and the European Union. This update includes simplified assessment creation to streamline navigation, improved grading-method creation, and a new split-screen assessment interface.

1. Simplified Assessment Creation to Streamline Navigation

   The assessment creation workflow has been improved and simplified to streamline navigation, reduce the number of clicks in the creation process, and to provide clearer guidance to instructors as they create and manage assessments.
   
   

2. Improved Grading Method Creation 

   Instructors can now quickly access recently used rubrics, preview options before selection, and build custom rubrics that save to personal, course, or institutional libraries.
   
   

3. New Split-Screen Assessment Interface

   Assessments now have a split-screen interface that allows participants to view instructor videos while recording their responses, eliminating the need to scroll between content. Participants can also reference questions and rubric criteria while they record.
   
   

We have successfully pushed an update to all YuJa FeedbackFlow Assessment Platform instances residing in Canada, Australia, and the European Union. This update includes the option to create interactive assessments featuring video-based questions and responses, customize grading methods for individual questions, embed YuJa FeedbackFlow Assessments to LMS with Grade Book Sync, and evaluate submissions using YuJa FeedbackFlow Grading Tool.

1. Create Unique and Interactive Assessments Featuring Video-Based Questions and Responses
   When text-based interactions aren’t enough, video-based questions and responses provide a richer, more dynamic range of expression. Simply record or upload a video of your question, and participants will respond with their own recording using YuJa FeedbackFlow’s built-in video recorder. 
   
2. Choose Your Preferred Grading Method for Individual Questions
   Each question can have its own grading method assigned to it to determine how many points the question is worth. These grading methods include:
   • Rubrics: For questions with multiple criteria for full points, you can create a rubric to define each criterion and allocate points based on how well the participant meets each one.
   • Scale Rating: Use a sliding scale to establish criteria with varying levels based on how well participants meet them. This method is ideal for non-traditional grading systems, such as letter grades, that aren’t based on points.
   • Comments: If you prefer not to assign points or levels to a question, you can add a comment to guide the participant on the type of answer you’re looking for.

   After creating your grading method, you can save it as a template to use in future assessments.
   

3. Embed YuJa FeedbackFlow Assessments in Your LMS with Grade Book Sync
   With the YuJa Video Platform’s Media Chooser, you can easily embed assessments as LMS assignments, allowing students to participate directly in their course. Once you grade the assessment, the results are automatically synced to the LMS grade book.
4. Evaluate Submissions Using YuJa FeedbackFlow Grading Tool
   As participants complete their assessment, you will be able to use the grading tool to evaluate results. After reviewing each answer, you can assign a grade based on the grading method that was chosen. To help participants do better for future assessments, you have the option to provide constructive feedback, offering help on how they can improve their responses.
