Dodona 5.0 released

[chvp]

After the huge 4.8 release, dodona 5.0 is even bigger with several major new features.

Design refresh

The most visible change is a refresh of the home page design. The aim was to make the appearance more friendly and less formal. This was done by using softer colors, rounder borders.

Grading is now publicly available

Our grading module that was already available as a preview is now publicly available. Compared to the preview, we improved the initial wizard to create an evaluation and made several smaller tweaks to improve the usability. More information can be found in our manual.

New learning analytics

Teachers can now better follow students' behaviour using the new graphs for each series.

Add course deadlines to your personal calendar

It is now possible for students to add a course to your personal calendar application such as Google Calendar. This way, the series deadlines will show up as events.
