Changelog

Teacher Elf now speaks your language. Open the menu under your avatar, choose Norwegian, Swedish, Spanish, or English, and the whole app switches over: navigation, buttons, help pages, and more. Your choice is remembered the next time you sign in.

Turn any flashcard deck into a graded quiz in seconds. Choose how many questions, which types (multiple choice, true/false, written answer), and whether students answer from the question or the answer side. The generated check-in is a normal check-in you can edit, assign, and share. Start from the deck page or pick Generate from Deck when creating a new check-in.

The AI Deck Builder now has a From Notes mode. Paste text from your notes, articles, or textbooks, or upload a PDF. The AI extracts the key vocabulary or concepts and builds a flashcard deck. Works for both language decks (translation pairs) and general decks (Q&A cards). Review and edit the generated cards in the deck editor before sharing.

Study sessions now use a modern scheduling algorithm that adapts to each card individually. Cards you find easy are spaced further apart; cards you struggle with get more targeted practice without getting stuck in an endless loop. Expect around 20% fewer reviews for the same level of retention.

The home page is reorganized so you can see what's coming up and what happened recently at a glance. Each item links straight to where you need to go. The shortcut grid is regrouped into a few clear sections so the action you need is easier to find.

Teachers now get notified when students finish their work or join a class. Open Settings to choose which notification types you care about, or turn on an email digest to get a summary delivered to your inbox. Pick Daily or Weekly. The digest is off by default.

Click any assignment to preview it and move the due date. Drag assignments between days to reschedule. Busier days are shaded darker so you can spot overloaded weeks at a glance. Open the Unscheduled panel to see assignments without a due date and drag them onto a day to schedule them. You can also click a day to assign new work directly from the calendar.

Open the avatar menu and tap Support to send a bug report, feature request, or anything else. Your name and email pre-fill from your account. Attach a screenshot by clicking the picker or pasting one straight from the clipboard. When something errors anywhere in the app, the toast and the crash page show a Report button that opens Support with the error already in the message field, so you can describe what you were doing without copying anything.

AI Deck Builder isn't only for language pairs anymore. Switch the top picker from Language to General, pick a language for the cards, pick a card shape (Term and definition or Question and answer), type a topic, and the generator writes a study deck for any subject: biology terms, Shakespeare's plays, presidents and their years.

Open AI Language Lesson from the sidebar, type a topic, pick the languages you teach in and from, and choose a level. You'll get a complete lesson back: a vocabulary flashcard deck, a dialogue, and a check-in quiz. Pick how many cards, lines, and questions you want, or leave any of the three out. The preview fills in as each piece generates; saving drops everything into a new learning path with a cover image, ready to assign to a class or share publicly.

Decks already showed a soft tint to help you scan a long list, picked automatically from the deck. Now you can pick the color yourself. Open the deck, click the settings gear in the toolbar, and choose from six tints (or hit Auto to go back). The color follows the deck everywhere it shows up: the Decks list, the assignments rail, the deck card on a learning path.

Open Cmd+K (Ctrl+K on Windows) with nothing typed and the panel leads with your recents. The full catalog stays out of the way until you start typing. Recents are grouped by what they are (Decks, Classes, Learning Paths, Check-ins, Dialogues, Students), with the page icons you already know from the sidebar. The total cap moved from 5 to 10, with up to 3 per group, so a streak of opening four decks doesn't push out yesterday's class.

A pass over the mobile chrome. Buttons across the navbar, dialog headers, and editor toolbars hit the 44-pixel tap-target threshold so a sloppy thumb still lands. Notifications slide in from the right as a proper sheet instead of squashing the page. The Account card on Settings stacks on phones so the export buttons get full width instead of squeezing under the title. Form inputs render at 16-pixel text so the browser doesn't zoom in every time you tap a field, and inline save validation surfaces errors next to the field that broke instead of next to the Save button.

Click your avatar in the top-right and the menu opens to a panel of grouped cards. A segmented theme picker (System / Dark / Light) sits at the top with the active option highlighted in primary. Below it: Settings, What's new, and Help in one card, then Log out. Privacy, Terms, and Contact live as small footer links at the bottom. What's new and Help moved here from the side nav, so the sidebar lost two items in exchange. A small dot appears next to What's new when changelog entries have shipped since you last opened the page.

The Profile card on Settings now leads with a six-tile stats overview: classes, students, decks, flashcards, learning paths, and assignments. Underneath, two friendly lines tell you how long you've had the account and when you last signed in. Every section card across the page picked up a small icon to scan the page faster, and the profile photo became an explicit opt-in: the avatar stays on a generated illustration until you flip Show my profile photo on.

The /docs page got a filter box at the top, icons next to every article, and a grouped table of contents (Getting around, Teacher core, Content authoring, and so on). Click the ? help icon inside a per-item workspace (a single class, learning path, check-in, dialogue, or student) and you now land on a workspace-specific article instead of the generic index. New articles cover the per-class workspace, the learning-path editor, the check-in editor, the dialogue editor, the student detail view, and the changelog itself.

Until today, every screenshot on this page was captured in light mode. Dark-mode readers still got a bright frame in the middle of an otherwise dark page. Today's entries (and any new ones from here on, where it makes sense) carry both a light and a dark capture of the same view, and the page swaps between them based on the theme you've picked. Older entries without a dark variant keep showing their light frame in both themes.

A search bar lives at the top of every page now. Type a few letters and you'll get matches across every class, deck, assignment, learning path, check-in, dialogue, and student you've made. Hit Cmd+K (Ctrl+K on Windows) from anywhere to open it. Recently opened items show up first so the things you keep coming back to are one keystroke away.

Open the Share popover on a check-in, learning path, presentation, dialogue, or deck and you'll find a second link below the student URL. Anyone you send the public link to can open the content without signing in. Check-ins still collect responses (anonymous polls land in the responses tab); other types are view only. Regenerate the link to revoke it if it leaks; Stop sharing turns it off entirely. Sharing a learning path opens up every lesson inside it for the duration of the share, including private decks.

New Insights tab on every class. KPI cards for active students and cards mastered against the prior period, plus two charts: cumulative class mastery over time and active students per day. Range picker for the last 7, 30, or 90 days, kept in the URL so the view is shareable.

Hosts pick between 3 and 60 seconds per question instead of the old fixed 10. Preset chips for 10s, 20s, 30s, 60s, both on the start screen and from the lobby once a quiz is opened.

Teacher (email) vs. student (username) chooser presented on every Log in button, with the return URL preserved end to end.
