- a version for teachers (including answers)
- different randomised versions of the quiz
Number of participants in groups
The maximum number of participants in a group has been increased from 200 to 3,000.

Grouping Goals
Template builders can now group goals to keep the various goals ordered.
Notes in templates
You can now add notes to templates:
- internal notes (only visible to fellow template builders)
- student notes (visible to students when importing the template)
Start view settings
In your personal settings, you can now choose:
- Start with the Collections view (as before) or with Goals & Progress.
- Within a collection: start with the Evidence view (as before) or the Activity overview.
- You can also specify whether descriptions should be collapsed or expanded by default.
- Defining your role (learner, teacher, coach) is now done within your personal settings, not on the homepage of your portfolio anymore.
