This update is all about streamlining your workflow:
An warning is now shown when simultaneously trying to use 2 devices.
Fix for seat scale (when viewing seating plan 2 or 3).
Marking tool is coming to Maths (as part of a trial before rolling it out to all subjects). This version of the app includes some improvements to the marking tool in preparation for its release.
To edit a phase of an intervention lesson that you have created, you can now do this from the intervention lesson builder (previous feature "My lesson phases" has now been removed/integrated into lesson builder). This now means that designing and editing tools for lessons are now side by side.
The 'Real-time PLC' tool now has a register view. In the event that your seat scale is too small that you can no longer see names, the PLC can now be completed from a list of names but it still retains the colour coding feature on the seating plan.
