We regularly release a minor update for iQualify. These updates mainly fix bugs. In addition, they may contain minor functional changes. These are improvements that make using iQualify even easier and can be used without explanation. Larger functional changes are only made available in a major update.

In this release, functional changes have been made and a number of bugs have been fixed. Curious about what has changed in minor release 5.6.1? We've summarised it for you on this page.

Key templates

When adding a test to a learning period (or as a shared test), there are numerous settings that determine the behaviour of the test. Think of things like formative/summative settings and whether comments can be placed. If you often use the same combination of settings, it is nice if you can save these in a template. This has now been made possible for tests in the regular test environment and for shared tests. For tests taken in a secure location, this is not yet possible.

You can save the current settings in a template when adding a key. When adding a new key where you want the same settings, you then only need to select the desired template. Templates are personalised. You can change a template by selecting it, editing it and resaving it under the same name. You can delete a template by selecting it and clicking delete.

Logic for formative tests with resits changed

In a formative test with resits, until now a certificate or learning path was only awarded after the last possible attempt of a test. This was then also done only on the basis of the result of that same last attempt. As a result, certificates and learning paths were not applied at all for formative tests with unlimited resits. On a limited number of attempts, it was determined on the basis of the last attempt whether a certificate should be awarded or a learning path applied.

Now, after each attempt, we check whether the conditions for a certificate or learning path have been met. If they are, the certificate is awarded immediately or the learning path is applied immediately. Students can still use remaining attempts for the formative test.

New learning material immediately visible to student

If new learning material becomes available due to the completion of a test, it is now immediately shown on the results page. It was already shown here when a certificate was awarded, now new tests are also shown here. It is also possible to start a test directly from the results page by clicking on it.

Media at knowledge flash

With a knowledge flash, it is now possible to use an image or video. This gives more opportunities to transfer knowledge easily.

Negative value number question

From now on, it is possible to make number questions where answers can also be negative. For the student, relatively little changes. From now on, they can enter a negative value for every number question. The special keyboard for mobile devices has also been adapted for this. Attention has also been paid to the user-friendliness of entering number questions. There are now several ways to navigate to fields with decimals. This can be done by clicking in a field, with the tab key, with arrow keys on a physical keyboard or the mobile keyboard. Entering a value in a decimal field also automatically navigates to the next decimal field.

Understanding student outcomes

Within the management website, until now it was difficult to view results of one or more students. This was only possible via learning periods. Now a new section "Results" has been added to the menu with an item "User results" below it. All teachers/administrators who have rights to see students' results within learning periods or shared tests will see this menu item. User results first shows a list of all active users who have results you are allowed to view. This respects the same rights to view results for learning periods in specific organisational units. Clicking on a user shows the underlying results. You can then click on a result to see all the details for that particular attempt including the answers given and their assessment.

Copying iQualify training

From now on, it is possible to copy an iQualify training course. This can be useful, for example, to create several variants of the same training course.

Question order when generating static key with fixed question order

For a specific situation, the order in which questions enter a static test has been changed. This concerns the function to generate a static test from a dynamic test. In that scenario, the dynamic (source) test may have questions grouped by subtopic. If a fixed question order is chosen when generating the static (target) test, the questions will be grouped the same as in the dynamic test. There is then no relationship within the static test with the subtopics from the dynamic test. The effect of this change is that if questions are deliberately grouped in a dynamic test, this grouping is initially carried over into the static test. In other words, the questions on the same topic/case are still grouped together.

Bug fixes

  • 59998: In an example of a dynamic test where the questions are grouped by subtopic, the questions were not shown grouped.
  • 60001: In an example of a static test with fixed question order, the catalogue did not show the questions in the correct order.
  • 61884: When viewing results of a specific test taking of a student in the management website, the questions were shown in a different order than as seen by the student.
  • 62188: It was possible to link the same group to a learning period twice which resulted in an error message.
  • 62217: When deleting users with the import wizard, group memberships were not removed, making users visible in learning periods via groups.
