This past week we worked on increasing the speed of our app and added a couple of new features.

For the speed increase, we removed one of the key bottlenecks and increased the speed of Podsie by about 2x.

We also added the following new features:

1. You can now adjust due dates even after students have started working on assignments and after the assignment is past due.

2. Math and science teachers, you can now add subscripts and superscripts to multiple choice answers. To do this, type out the multiple choice answer choice text, and then highlight the characters that you want to turn into a superscript or subscript:

3. If a student misses a short answer or multiple choice question, then the deeper learning will automatically be opened for them.

4. You can now use an existing question as a template for a new question. To do this, open the Question Preview while putting together an assignment and click the Copy button:

In addition, you can also choose to "Keep Question Content" when creating a new question, and that would allow for the question you just created to still be there as a template for your next question:
