Frequently asked questions

If my state's state-specific versions aren't ready yet, why can't we just see the national versions?
Districts who should be using state-specific versions should not use the national courses. We need them to use their state versions so that their alignments will be correct.
For a few of the courses, I see Honors (HON) versions but no Initial Credit (IC) or Credit Recovery (CR) versions. Why is that?
Some states have state-specific CR and IC courses but no state-specific HON courses. Those states use the national HON courses. In cases where the national HON courses are published but the state-specific IC and CR versions are not, customers will see the course cards in the Imagine Edgenuity Catalog, but they will only see the HON versions. The IC and CR versions will display there when they are published.

Features

The following heritage Imagine Edgenuity features are not fully available yet:

Gradebook/Reviewing student work

When reviewing student work, educators will not be able to bypass activities (instead, they can exclude the activity via customization). Educators also cannot leave audio feedback for students yet, although the ability to add and edit written feedback is available. Audio feedback will not be available until 2024.

Also, while the single-student Gradebook is greatly enhanced in EdgeEX, the course Gradebook (the gradebook that shows scores for all students in a particular course) is not available.

The Additional Activity feature will not be available in EdgeEX in 2023.
Self-enrollment Open enrollment/access codes are not available for EdgeEX yet.
Reports

Some reports in the heritage product are not yet available for EdgeEX Courses.

Course Report: The downloadable PDF Course Report is not available yet for educators, although the information in the report is visible in the Gradebook.

Student Progress Overview: The "Progress Overview" area on the student Course Map is not available. Students can view their grades and progress on the Course Map, but they do not have access to their grade weights or grade weight category scores.

Student Progress Report: The Progress Report will display only the metrics that also appear on Manage Enrollments (progress, grades, dates). It will not display Time Remaining, Daily Goal, or the grade-weight-category information.

Attendance Log/Session Log: EdgeEX courses will not appear in Attendance Log or Session Log, although a separate EdgeEX-specific Attendance Log can be dropped into a secure folder weekly to administrators who wish to receive it. Time spent in EdgeEX courses will appear as idle time on the Attendance Log to educators, parents, and students. However, time is being captured accurately and is displayed in the Gradebook and in the EdgeEX-specific Attendance Log.

Lesson Mastery Report: EdgeEX courses will not appear in the Lesson Mastery Report.

Scores and Activity Review: The Scores and Activity Review is not available in EdgeEX.

Recent Actions: Some actions for EdgeEX courses will not appear in Recent Actions. These actions will be reported in the corresponding EdgeEX hub in a 2024 release:

  • Add / Remove EdgeEX license
  • Add course to District Catalog
  • Add course to School Catalog
  • Create a Section
  • Changes to Course Options or Enrollment Options
  • Gradebook Actions

Course options

Accommodations and Modifications: The following course options are not available in EdgeEX courses:

  • Hide assessment timer (although students are able to hide the timer themselves if they do not wish to view it).
  • Reduce number of items on Quizzes, Tests, and Exams.
  • Reduce number of distractors on assessments.

Course Options Summary: Course options for EdgeEX courses will not populate on the Course Options Summary.

Prescriptive Testing: EdgeEX courses do not offer prescriptive testing. They do, however, offer lesson-level pretesting, which works the same way pretesting works in the heritage courses.
Customization

The roadmap for EdgeEX includes in-flight customization and the ability to modify assessments and author original lessons. However, customization functionality available for Summer 2023 will be more limited than the heritage product currently offers. Please consider the customizations you plan to make to math courses as you decide when to adopt EdgeEX.

Customization includes the ability to exclude units, lessons, or activities at the district, section, and enrollment level (single student).
Instructional Services and On-Demand Tutoring These features are not available for EdgeEX yet.
IP Registry and Manage Schedules These features are not available for EdgeEX yet.
Integrations

EdgeEX fully supports integrations for account creation and SSO (for example, Clever, ClassLink). However, some integrations are not yet supported.

Nightly Import with Course Enrollments: SIS integrations that include section creation and course enrollment are not yet supported.

Thin Common Cartridge, LTI, QTI: These deep content integrations are not yet supported.
Media Appliances/Caching Servers Districts who rely on these (because of low bandwidth) should not adopt EdgeEX yet.
Plagiarism Checker and Generative AI Detector The Plagiarism Checker and Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Detector will not yet be available for short writing activities in math courses. 

Generally, heritage Imagine Edgenuity features not listed in the table above are available in EdgeEX courses. Review the list below for specific features that have recently become functional in EdgeEX courses:

  • Display Pacing to Students course option is available.
  • Customizing courses option includes the ability to exclude units, lessons, or activities at the district, section, and enrollment level.
