Provide continuous and personalized feedback

I really love this one! Teachers can now provide iterative, personalized, and actionable feedback while students are working on their assignments. Assignment submissions can now be resubmitted and continuously improved – even after the teacher leaves feedback.  

Rich text editing for assignment instructions

Using rich text editing your instructions and feedback is now much more visible to the student. No more scanning your work if your teacher added some instructions.
