May 2025

✅ Completed Work

⏱️Session management: To improve your security, we’ve introduced a session management system. If there's 30 minutes of inactivity, a pop-up will ask if you’d like to continue your session. Click ‘Yes’ to stay logged in or ‘No’ to log out.

To keep your information secure, even with continuous activity, every 5 days you will need to log in, as your session token will expire.

💟File Type icons on webapp: The icons next to PDF and DOCX files in Aula were greyish and monotone. They are now colorful and distinguishable.

🐞 Bug Solutions

Visibility of group assignments

Problem: Students added to a group after a group assignment was created couldn't see the assignment immediately, only after manually refreshing the page. This would lead to confusion and support issues.

✔️Solution: Students now view their assignments right away after being added to a group.

Switching tabs

Problem: Educators would get a blank screen issue when switching between tabs.

✔️Solution: We enhanced tab rendering functionality.

Users in group messages

Problem: Users were not visible in group messages after being added to a group with existing messages.

✔️Solution: All users are now visible in group messages.

Download list of participants

Problem: It wasn't possible to download a list of participants.

✔️Solution: We restored the export functionality for administrative tasks.
