Features
Questions API v2.168.0, Author API v1.78.0, Reports API v1.21.0
  • Added the capability to turn off spokenmath. New init option disable_spokenmath_user_inputs disables spokenmath in the user inputs for math Question types.

  • Added a warning message when the adaptive object is removed or misspelled in the Activity source for adaptive assessments.
  • Added the ability to make Items read only in Item edit mode. This feature can be controlled at two levels, the first being at the entire Item bank level and the second being based on Tags.
