Smart Share

Fixed the following issues with Smart Share:

  • Added a validation check when you try to Smart Share files on which you do not have adequate access rights.  Smart Share window now shows a message indicating which file cannot be shared.

Highlights Release Notes - February 8, 2016

Bug Fixes


Focused Browsing icon does not display after student logs out & in
Sometimes after a student logged out and logged back in, during a Focused Browsing session, Highlights did not display the Focused Browsing icon on the student panel (even though the student was focused). This issue has been resolved.

Extension prevents users accessing the Internet via proxy server
The Highlights extension was erroneously stopping a dialog popping up that asked the student for a username and password to log into a proxy server. This issue has been resolved.

Front end does not display tabs with blank urls
Unusually, some games open a new Chrome tab with no URL. An example is  Zuma Free Brain game. Highlights was not displaying these tabs in the Browser Tabs or Activity Viewer panes. Now, in the Browser Tabs pane,  Highlights shows the title of the Zuma page. And in the Activity Viewer pane, Highlights represents the URL with the text "blank".

Improvements


Added 150 & 180 minute Focused Browsing durations

The list of Focussed Browsing durations has been expanded
