Announcing Version 1.1
We've been pretty busy around here lately. We usually have at least two releases worth of features in the pipeline so it's easy to forget to let everyone know what we've been working on. We just released version 1.1 which was updated on our customer's installations over the last few weeks.
Here are the highlights:
- Viewing Catalog for videos with attachments only. This is part of a larger plan to encourage the usage of attachments associated with recordings. Students can easily find recordings with attachments so they can go back and find handouts and homework assignments from any point in the school year.
- Customizable Interface. As much as we love our logo and color scheme we realize that schools like their logos and colors too. Version 1.1 contains a simple interface to allow the colors and the logo on your Aterium interface to be updated.
- Remote Synchronization. This allows schools to automatically synchronize content to other Aterium servers. Larger districts with multiple installations will find this useful as well as school districts with separate alternative schools that would like to save the bandwidth costs of students viewing multiple recordings at the same time.
- Camera Permissions. This allows administrators to assign teachers a camera so that they do not see a list of cameras for the entire school. This keeps things simpler for the teachers because it removes that option automatically when scheduling a recording. It's optional but highly recommended for teachers who make a lot of special recordings.
We have some very exciting features planned for version 1.2 which should be released in the next week or so. The focus for 1.2 has been to improve our existing reports and add three new reports. We also have some nice user interface improvements that we can't wait to get out to customers.
