🎉 TAO August 2025 Release Highlights! 🎉
Compact media player
Introducing a new compact media player, which allows authors to configure the media player with minimal UI options.
Export results as CSV
Introducing the possibility to export session results in TAO Portal into a CSV format. Previously a beta feature, this functionality has been promoted to a generally available feature (following significant improvement and stabilization).
New sidebar navigation
Introducing a revamped navigation bar; the previous top bar is now displayed as a scrollable sidebar that can be expanded or collapsed (based on the needs). This improves the overall navigation and manageability with the increased number of sections in TAO Portal.
Release Enhancements
TAO Authoring Updates & Fixes
QTI editor for items: Introducing the possibility to edit any item directly at the QTI source level. A new button displayed in the item authoring toolbar will lead the user to an XML editor of the actual QTI for the current item. If you are interested in enabling this feature, please talk to your Account Manager.
QTI editor
Bug Fix: Line spacing of previous line unexpectedly decreases when editing Ruby within TAO Authoring.
TAO Advance Updates & Fixes
Single page test review: Introducing a new Test Review capability, which renders all items from a test in a single page view. This feature can only be enabled via LTI 1.3 at this time.
Bug Fix: In some situations, the Entry Code PCI did not properly disable test navigation when related security options were enabled on a session.
Bug Fix: The Math Entry interaction (and some other PCIs) were inadvertently interactive in Test Review or manual scoring.
TAO Portal Updates & Fixes
Bug Fix: In some situations, if the same computer or device was used by multiple TAO users, the “My User” page displayed wrong information until the page was refreshed.
These updates aim to enhance usability, efficiency, and the overall TAO platform experience. We welcome your feedback and remain committed to continuous improvement. Thank you for your support! 🚀
