Sign in with Google, and message your teachers

Released between 26 September and 1 October.

Sign in with Google

The sign-in and sign-up pages have a Continue with Google button, drawn by Google itself. On sign-in it sits above the email form, and an account with two-factor turned on still goes through its code or backup-code step. On sign-up it sits under Create account, after the country and cookie fields it needs. Google has already verified the email, so a new account signs straight in and lands in onboarding.

Teachers in Chat

/app/chat now switches between Fkra AI and Teachers. The Teachers side lists your conversations and lets you start one with the people who teach you: your organization’s admins, the trainers on your paths and your cohort mentors. When a workspace has AI turned off, Chat opens on Teachers instead of sending you away. Admins answer from a Messages tab under Manager, and the Message button in the learners panel opens the conversation there. A new message raises a notification that links to the thread, and the sidebar entry, now called Chat, carries an unread count.

Files on assignments

A learner can attach a file to an assignment submission, and the people allowed to grade it can open it. Nobody else can. The submission type is labelled in the grader’s language, and a platform admin can open the grading queue for submissions that belong to no organization.

Admins work within what they hold

Role pickers offer a workspace admin only the roles inside their own grants, and an admin cannot edit a role that holds more than they do. Password resets, blocking, two-factor resets and session revokes reach only members of the admin’s own organization. The 19 platform consoles show only to platform super admins, and the effective-access view says whether a workspace role is enforced or still in shadow mode.
