We’ve heard from teachers and administrators how much more flexibility they could use when working with images in Haiku LMS and how helpful faster features would be. Last week we released a new feature that enables teachers to use Aviary to edit images on-the-fly. Now we’ve taken a few more leaps forward.
Students Soar with Access to Aviary
Students who use Haiku LMS can now use Aviary to update images in their e-Portfolios. Aviary empowers student to:
- Work on their files from any computer – anytime, anywhere- whether at school, at home or somewhere else altogether
- Get immediate feedback from teachers and fellow students
- See exactly how images and creations were made
- Collaborate with other students
- Find additional support through tutorials, demonstrations, forums, and blogs
An update from our last launch: teachers now have the option to use Aviary editing in more places like discussion topics. Teachers can also simultaneously upload multiple files like .pdf and .doc in more places, too.
Faster Loading, Fewer Obstacles
We’re streamlining workflow with every release, and this time around it’s in the form of an updated, faster HTML editor that offers two types of editing: basic and advanced. For users needing to format simply in bold, italics, and so on the basic editor provides clear shortcuts. For users looking for more flexibility and greater control the advanced editor enables them to dig into the code.
Haiku LMS is on the Move
More and more often we saw wish lists that requested that we allow access to Haiku from mobile browsers. Well, we’re ready to grant that wish. You will no longer see the Unsupported Browser screen when you visit Haiku from your Apple or Android Phone. Capabilities are still limited due to the “lite” nature of mobile browsers, but you are free to use what you can. But do not fear that we will stop here, as we are still scheming of versions for the iPhone/iPad and Android devices.
Keep in Touch
As always, we appreciate the feedback and welcome more input. Let us know what you think!
