This release includes several core feature updates and numerous bug fixes and enhancements.
New Features and Changes
ℹ️ Module Advisors are now called Facilitators
What's in a name? It turns out, quite a lot. We needed a way to distinguish between people who have the role of Advisor at a school, and those who are involved with a specific module in an advisory capacity. This was creating confusion since we used the same word for both. Therefore, to remedy this, inside a Module Overview, what was previously named 'Advisors' (within the 'Who's Involved' prompt) is now called Facilitators. This will pave the way for some future updates like a "Facilitator Notes" feature. Nothing has changed about the way these roles work; we're letting you know so you're not surprised the next time you see "Facilitator" in Headrush.
Now, on to the new features in this release:
View learner progress in connected modules
Directly from the task board Evidence view, advisors can now see the status of learner activity in Connected Modules. This is a powerful way to get a big-picture perspective of learning activity. Learn more (link fixed)
Auto-Finalizing Modules
You can now make Headrush automatically complete and finalize Learner assessments on a module when they complete all required tasks. This marks the module complete and finalizes the assessment for individual learners. Learn More
Use new filters on My Modules
Now on My Modules you can filter to just the Modules you Created and just the ones shared with you. Likewise, when you set a filter on My Modules, your selected view will be remembered, so that when you return to the page, you can pick up where you left off. Lastly, your school admin can work with Headrush to setup sitewide pinned filters by role to get people the views they commonly need for clarity and quickness.
Bug fixes and enhancements
Thanks to the many of you who have helped to report these bugs or suggest these enhancements. We hope you enjoy reading this list as there's a good chance something you asked us about recently is on it!
Modules, Tasks and Evidence
When copying a module with an evidence template on a task, it was impossible to remove the template in the copy.
Displayed submitted time for Watch a video automatic task completion was showing current time instead of time submitted.
When advisors added a task without the Submit Evidence task action and marked the task Needs Review, learners could not click the SUBMIT AGAIN button.
When an Advisor was only a Creator on a module, they could not remove learning targets from the module.
When credits were assigned in Assessment, the assessment was not marked STARTED.
Prevented an issue where a student could not see their modules if they were assessed using an expired quantity of credits.
The Editor
The rich-text editor in Headrush has been updated and many bugs have been fixed.
When deleting embedded items from the editor, a confusing, hard to delete empty space was left behind.

Narrow tables (1 row, 1 column) were difficult to delete.
When multiple images were in the editor, only the first would show its popup menu.

When advisor groups were empty, they could give an incorrect message when being re-opened.
