Improved Freeform Tests

We’ve also made a small but important improvement to the accent picker that appears in freeform text questions when the Kwiziq A.I. decides that you’re ready for something more challenging than multiple choice questions. The old design confused a few people, so now it’s little keyboard symbol that appears within the textbox. When you click it, it opens up a list of symbols and accents that may not be easy for you to type on your keyboard:

Behind the scenes

We’ve been beavering away on some important admin functions to that won’t be visible to you, but will ensure we can easily handle the extra demand being generated by our accelerating customer growth!

Crowdfunding is a lot of extra work and therefore slowing us down a little, but once it completes the extra funds available will help us accelerate R&D and get some fantastic new features, functions and apps out, as well as helping us to add Spanish to our available languages.
