Our engineering team has resolved the Highlights service disruption, and performance should now be back to normal. If you continue to see any issues with connecting to student devices on Highlights, please submit a support request at support.hapara.com or email support@hapara.com.


09:48 am PT, 06:48 am NZT
We have received elevated reports of errors in loading student panels in Highlights. Our engineering team has performed an initial investigation and confirmed a Highlights backend service disruption.

RESOLVED: Hapara Service Disruption: 2016-11-04

Issue: From 04:30am PT to 8:45am PT, teachers from some domains are unable to log into Hapara.
Root Cause: Hapara has been improving the way it interfaces with school's GAFE domains, via the use of the Admin API. As part of this work, we released an update to to the way Hapara handles changes to teacher email addresses. Unfortunately this release introduced a bug which affected some customers with a certain domain configuration, which de-registered teachers of these domains from Hapara. The end result is that these teachers were not able to login to Hapara. Resolution: We rolled back the release, and then performed a full synchronization of Google user data back into Hapara. What we are doing to prevent this from happening in the future: The issue affected customers with a specific configuration, which was not covered in testing. We are reviewing our testing coverage to ensure that similar bugs will not slip through in the future.

08:45 am PT, 04:45 am NZT
At 04:30 am PT, 00:30 am NZT we experienced a service disruption with Hapara Dashboard, Workspace and Highlights being inaccessible for some users. You may have seen a login or authorization error as a teacher, or as an Administrator you may have seen no teachers assigned to classes in Hapara Dashboard.
We've now implemented a fix which should resolve the majority of these issues and will update this post once the root cause has been thoroughly investigated.

Highlights Release Notes - May 3, 2016

Highlights Focused Browsing supports Google Forms better

In Highlights, when using Focused Browsing with Google Forms, the teacher had to specify two URLs - one for the Google Form itself, and one for the "Thanks" page that is displayed after the Google Form has been submitted. If the teacher only specified the first URL, the students wouldn't be able to successfully submit the form.


Now Highlights automatically adds the second URL - so the teacher only has to specify one URL.


HL extension respects the screenshot quality setting

Highlights was not respecting the Image Quality setting in the Bandwidth Control section of the TDAdmin Highlights page. This reduced the ability of Admins to control the bandwidth that Highlights uses. Highlights now obeys the settings.


Note: Around 3May16, if a teacher comments that the image quality in Highlights has gotten worse, this will be because the TDAdmin setting is now being obeyed. Their IT Administrator can change the setting to change the image quality.

Note: With the default TDAdmin settings sending a student screen image to the teacher takes about 30 to 60 kilobytes of network bandwidth. Lowering the image quality in TDAdmin reduces this to about 10 kilobytes.

Thursday 21 April 2016

UPDATE: Teacher Dashboard Service Disruption

UPDATE: As of 04:30pm PST, We have diverted traffic to our backup platform. Users may have to refresh their browsers to gain access into Teacher Dashboard. If you encounter any further issues, please submit a support ticket and we will investigate right away

-------------------------


We are currently experiencing a service disruption with Hapara Dashboard and its only affecting our Southern Hemisphere customers. Teachers will not be able to access their Teacher Dashboard.

Highlights Release Notes - March 31, 2016

Improvements


Focused Browsing feature now optional
The Highlights TDAdmin page now contains a setting "Enable Focused Browsing" which defaults to Yes. If set to No. the Focused Browsing functionality in Highlights is hidden from teachers.

“Extension Installed” diagnostic test is quicker
In some cases, the first test in the Student Diagnostic page was taking a long time before it failed. Some students erroneously thought the test had passed. Now the first test takes at most 10 seconds to fail.

Highlights works better on iPads
Highlights now works much better on iPads. Several issues have been resolved.

Note: On the iPad, a student panel “drag and drop” is initiated by long-clicking on the student panel header. This helps Highlights distinguish between teacher drag and drop actions and other click actions.

Highlights Release Notes - February 8, 2016

Bug Fixes


Focused Browsing icon does not display after student logs out & in
Sometimes after a student logged out and logged back in, during a Focused Browsing session, Highlights did not display the Focused Browsing icon on the student panel (even though the student was focused). This issue has been resolved.

Extension prevents users accessing the Internet via proxy server
The Highlights extension was erroneously stopping a dialog popping up that asked the student for a username and password to log into a proxy server. This issue has been resolved.

Front end does not display tabs with blank urls
Unusually, some games open a new Chrome tab with no URL. An example is  Zuma Free Brain game. Highlights was not displaying these tabs in the Browser Tabs or Activity Viewer panes. Now, in the Browser Tabs pane,  Highlights shows the title of the Zuma page. And in the Activity Viewer pane, Highlights represents the URL with the text "blank".

Improvements


Added 150 & 180 minute Focused Browsing durations

The list of Focussed Browsing durations has been expanded

Access to dictionary.reference.com blocked during Focused Browsing to dictionary.com

Sundry
