About this release
3
• Version 6 contains significant changes across the web platform and the app
• Due to new functionality on the web platform, a new v6 app is required to
communicate with any v6 site (for example, the new question types will not be
rendered properly in the v5 app)
• The new v6 app will however be backward compatible with the v5 platform, and there
are only minor changes to the UI (most of which our customers have categorised as
bug fixes
• The v6 app will be released as an upgrade. So the app will be updated in the App
Store and Play Store, to a timeframe to be agreed with our customers. Those who do
not intend to upgrade immediately will be able to use the new app with the existing
web platform

Email invitation assessment workflow
23
1. The student is sent an email invitation
assessment form. Using the app, either
independently or in consultation with
somebody in practice, they can enter one
or more email addresses of the observers
that will send the feedback.
2. Each of the observers receives an email
from Myprogress with a link to complete an
assessment. Each observer confirms their
email address and then completes the
form.
3. A member of faculty receives all
responses and reviews them, using the
online system or a report export.

the gathered responses before the data is
anonymised and sharing it back to the
student.
5. The student can review the anonymous
feedback, either online or within their
mobile app.
6. The student and faculty reviewer as well
as other faculty members, can discuss the
gathered responses using standard
Myprogress functionality.

New and updated reports
30
• Myprogress v6 overhauls the logic used to
determine who can see what responses within the
reports to bring them into line with the rest of the
interface:
– Draft responses are excluded from all reports
– Administrators can see all responses created in their
organisation
– Faculty can only see responses that have been shared
with them
– Blog posts are treated as private unless the student
chooses to share them

31. © 2016 MyKnowledgeMap Ltd
New and updated reports
31
• New reports have also been developed to support
faculty and administrators with a range of day-to-day
tasks:
– Response comparison report – where responses are
shown side by side, ideal for comparing multiple
responses to the same assessment
– Deadline reports – for tracking student responses against
deadlines
– Marker reports – quickly and easily see which markers
have outstanding actions and which are up to date with
their marking workload
