EdgeEX — Current functionality and releases

• The new Work Due Today status lets students know they must complete activities today to stay on pace (instead of showing them as behind).
• If students have unread comments from a teacher, an alert appears on the homepage.
• Actual Grade calculates by giving zeroes to late, incomplete activities (instead of multiplying Overall Grade by progress ratio).
• Target progress is based on due dates, eliminating the issue where students sometimes appear behind when an activity spans for multiple days.

• All-new look and feel, accessible, responsive design
• Unit-level progress bar to break coursework into smaller, more manageable chunks and celebrate more frequent successes
• Course Report includes Total Active Time
• View lesson objectives and standards

• Students can add images, tables, and hyperlinks to their eNotes.

• The EdgeEX Progress Overview includes Estimated Time Remaining and Daily Goal.

When the Display Syllabus course option is enabled, students can view the course syllabus from their Course Map.

For information about the features of EdgeEX courses, reference EdgeEX — Course releases.

• IP Registry
• SecureLock browser
• On-Demand Tutoring

In the EdgeEX Course Hub, teachers can easily toggle between the student view and the answer key for any activity in a single interface, previewing not only the activity and its correct answers (for all courses) but also the answer explanations for all Assignments and Assessments in math courses.

With EdgeEX, there is no need to assign a course to oneself in order to preview content the way a student would see it. The interactive player can be launched on full screen from the Course Hub.

The Resources tab of the Course Hub includes the option to download dynamic resources, that is, resources that update automatically when the course is customized.

• Teachers can download the scope and sequence, as well as the Guided Notes for a specific course, semester, unit, or lesson.
• Teachers can also edit the syllabus and download it or (later in 2024) share it with students via the LMS.
• Syllabi and course descriptions are available for all state-specific courses as well as national ones.
• All scoring resources are available in the student's grading interface, at point of use.
• Teachers can view standards alignments by lesson and by standard.

• Require teachers to unlock pretests
• Configure all assessment options differently for pretests, quizzes, tests, and exams
• Allow students to review their work on tests and exams, not just quizzes
• Cap the maximum number of retakes teachers can give
• Allow students to increase video playback speed up to 2x
• Display course Syllabus to students
• Lock courses for students before the start date and/or after the target date
• Control whether and where students see pacing
• These options are managed in the student settings for EdgeEX, not the course options for an individual course:
  • Untimed assessments
  • Reduce number of items in assessments

• Changes can be made at the course or section level anytime, even after students have already been enrolled ("in-flight customization").
• Changes can be made at the District or School level and applied to all Sections and Enrollments of a course. Educators can preview content while they customize.
• The following customization capabilities are available now:
  • Hide/show activities, lessons, or units for an enrollment, section, school, or district.
  • Reorder activities, lessons, or units.
  • Add lesson from EdgeEX lesson library.
• Authoring original content will be released by Back to School 2025.

The EdgeEX Educator Launchpad displays on the homepage and alerts teachers to which students need attention as soon as they log in.

• Information about the unit, lesson, and activity that needs attention appears in the Launchpad Quick View.
• Teachers can take immediate action one student at a time or for an entire group.
• Selecting a student from the Launchpad brings you directly to the activity that needs to be unblocked or graded.

• Educators can:
  • Award a score for an activity the student has not yet started.
  • Relock an assessment they unlocked accidentally.
  • Leave rich-text feedback on student work with a symbol palette, equation editor, and emojis.
  • Pass students with their Highest Score on an activity.
  • View results for in-progress assessments.
  • Bypass activity
  • Use AI-generated suggested feedback comments on student work.

• EdgeEX introduces an alternative to the Course Management School (CMS): the Imagine Edgenuity Catalog. The Catalog lets administrators preview ALL EdgeEX courses, whether they have licensed them or not, and then select any licensed courses and add them to their district/schools.
• The Catalog displays key information about each course, including available versions, estimated completion times, and number of teacher-scored activities.

• EdgeEX courses provide for course sections, a group of students taking the same course, associated with one or more teachers.
• Administrators can create multiple sections at a time, applying a custom naming convention and assigning teachers with an easy-to-use wizard, bulk upload, or integration with the district Student Information System (SIS).
• Students can easily be transferred from one section to another, allowing them to maintain their work when they move to a new teacher.

The Course Hub provides a single interface for all the actions previously contained in Manage Courses, Course Structures, and Course Customization, as well as new actions not previously available.

• View active sections and enrollments
• Customize and preview content
• Edit course options
• Download resources (for example, syllabus, scope and sequence, Guided Notes, standards alignment)
