Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all had a restful and refreshing break.

Just a quick reminder that over the winter break, we added the ability for teachers to "freeze" their students' personal decks so that the count would not keep incrementing.

This is just a friendly reminder to unfreeze it by going to your settings page and updating the "Freeze Personal Deck" section:

Hi y'all! First of all, sorry we haven't been posting here as often. We will be better about announcing all of our updates moving forward!

Secondly, we wanted to share about the new "Personal Deck" tab in the classes view. This tab gives you data on how your students are doing on their personal decks.

There's 2 views, one that tells you how students are doing over time (one important note is that we started gathering personal deck data over time on December 8th, so that's when you should see the first data point):

And the other tells you more details on how students did on a specific day:

If you have any questions or feedback, please let us know!

You can now deactivate questions from your all of your students' personal decks:

By default, all questions are active in a personal deck.

To go back and deactivate older questions from the personal deck, go to the "Edit Questions" area of an assignment, and then navigate to the "Existing" questions tab. Each card has an indicator of whether it is "active" or "inactive". Once you open the question, you can then deactivate that question.

We're starting a public changelog so you're always up to date with all the updates, improvements, and fixes that are made in Podsie. This changelog is here to improve the highly valued communication between you and us.

You'll receive an update in the widget when we change something. In addition, all previous updates are available on our public changelog page.

If you have any questions or thoughts, please don't hesitate to email, slack, or submit feedback on this google form.
