Product Releases and Bug Fixes: January 12, 2026

Prev Next

New and Improved

Aware

  • You can now import iReady test files into Aware. Aware is compatible with iReady test files for English Reading and ELA, Spanish Reading, and Math.

  • Mastery trackers now require a manual refresh to update data. We’ve added a Load New Data button in the tracker to initiate the request. Upon pressing, the user receives a pop-up notification that their request is being processed. We have made this change to address data feed issues that could cause trackers to intermittently stop working.

Beacon

  • You can now print a prep from My Planner in Beacon. Printing a prep allows you to create a physical or PDF copy of your plans for the prep.

  • The Delete Prep button is now located under the Edit Prep action in the prep header. This extra step helps prevent users from accidentally deleting preps.

Management

  • Districts that use Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) can import built-in roles for user accounts.

  • When creating a user account using Import Users or SFTP, you can set up the account using either an email address or an external ID as a unique identifier. We have also simplified the user interface for importing users with a CSV file that also matches SFTP field requirements.

  • If you create a new account, you also have the option to check the box for Send a Welcome Email to new user accounts. This action sends the new user an email with a link, prompting them to create a new password within 24 hours.

Strive

  • We have updated the Framework Setup workflow with a new, intuitive interface for creating and updating unlocked frameworks. You can now easily add domains and dimensions to the framework, and your work saves as you go.

General

  • While impersonating a user in Eduphoria, the Management application and the Impersonate button become inaccessible. You cannot perform management actions as another user.

  • Beginning January 12, 2026, when you contact the Eduphoria Support phone line, the agent sends a one-time code to the email address associated with your Eduphoria account. You will need to verify this code before proceeding with account-specific support. This quick verification step provides an added layer of account security, helping us protect your data and grant peace of mind.

Bug Fixes

Aware

Assessments

  • We’ve updated how Text-to-Speech reads content clarifiers added to resources. Teachers can have all instances of a content clarifier read aloud, rather than having the support only read the first instance.

LockDown Browser

  • Refreshing the browser no longer results in an error that kicks students out and allows them to open tabs. Instead, students are kept within LockDown Browser on a refresh.

  • We’ve fixed a calculator issue when it is used within LockDown Browser. The calculator should no longer get stuck if a user drags it to the top of the screen.

  • We’ve mitigated the risk of students bypassing LockDown Browser on Chromebooks using a specific test URL and testing outside of the secured environment. A warning now appears requiring the test to be completed in full-screen mode in LockDown Browser.

  • Attempts to leave an active test in LockDown Browser using a four-finger swipe or a similar method result in the test being forcibly submitted. Before submission, students can see a warning message that an attempt to leave the browser was detected, which isn’t permitted. Automatically submitting the test eliminates cheating attempts, which teachers can then review and take appropriate action.

Online Testing

  • If students have a save pending for their constructed response answers, the Review & Score button remains grayed out. This prevents students from submitting their tests prematurely before the final answers are saved and committed.
