Hāpara updates for Northern Hemisphere teachers (July 2020)

Happy summer! While many of you are (hopefully) relaxing and recovering after what was an interesting end to the school year, we’ve been working on some big changes in Hāpara. 

New Workspace layout 

Earlier this month we turned on the new Workspace layout for all users. This means you can now:

• view your Workspaces organized by: Owned by me, Shared with me, Class, Label or for Professional learning
• add labels to your Workspaces to create your own organizational system
• check student progress on Workspace evidence cards right from the My Workspaces homepage 
• view public Workspaces from around the world in the new Discover section
• preview any public Workspace before opening it to help you find exactly what you’re looking for

Student Dashboard

The student experience also got a big upgrade this month when we released the brand new Student Dashboard to all Hāpara customers. Learn more about the Student Dashboard here.

Coming soon!

We’re not done yet with our improvements for back to school 2020. Keep an eye out for a few more improvements including:

• The option to search by standards on the Workspace Discover page. You’ll be able to find existing lessons, projects and more aligned to standards!
• A new grading tool that simplifies the grading process and allows you to give grades and feedback on evidence cards directly from the student’s work.
