The Latest Enhancements in Achieve
Explore the latest updates in Achieve, designed to streamline course management, enhance assessment security, provide deeper insights with greater gradebook flexibility, and expand personalized learning support. Achieve continually evolves to meet diverse educational needs and prioritize accessibility.
New for Fall 2025
Respondus LockDown Browser
Teachers can require the Respondus LockDown Browser for Achieve assessments at no extra cost, adding an extra layer of security for high-stakes quizzes and exams. Students launch the browser directly from Achieve, which locks down their device during the assessment. A Chromebook-compatible extension will also be available soon, expanding device support.
Exam Builder
Exam Builder allows teachers to automatically generate large, varied exams using question pools based on their chosen chapters, topics, and desired level of variance. This saves time, reduces grading discrepancies, and increases exam fairness by offering a randomized version to each student.
Manage Post-Submission Quiz Access
Teachers can now hide quiz content from students immediately after submission until the due date passes. This supports academic integrity by helping reduce answer-sharing during active assessments and high-stakes tests/quizzes.
Student Practice Mode
This new setting allows students to retake a completed or past-due homework assignment for additional practice—ungraded and with unlimited attempts! Teachers can enable this option to help students prepare for exams and encourage mastery learning through extra practice.
AI-powered Question Generator
Instantly create new multiple-choice assessment questions from existing ones within Achieve. This innovative tool streamlines quiz building, ensuring assessments stay fresh, diverse, and engaging.
Maintain Content Order in LMS Sync
Content deployed from Achieve to Canvas and Blackboard will now maintain the same order as in Achieve. This update removes the need to reorder content after LMS syncing, saving time on administrative tasks.
Schoology: Achieve Section Linking
Teachers using Schoology can now link the correct Achieve section to each Schoology course. This alignment improves usability and makes classroom management easier.
Secure File Download Process
Users are now directed to a secure page with a download link instead of automatic downloads. This improves file access across browsers and devices while enhancing security.
Access Reports & Insights Tab from LMS
Easily navigate to the Achieve Reports & Insights Tab directly from the Course Tools page in your LMS. This update streamlines your workflow, giving you quicker access to valuable student data and insights directly from your LMS.
Export by Group(s) or Individual(s)
Exporting the gradebook by individual or groups simplifies progress tracking and offers greater flexibility, especially for teachers managing exception groups. This feature saves time by eliminating the need to manually edit CSV files after exporting, making grade transfers and tracking more efficient.
Filter for Exception Groups
Teachers using exception groups can now filter their view by exception group(s), making it easier to review large gradebooks—ideal for managing rostered courses, classes, and students.
Pop-out Side Panel
The new pop-out side panel in the Gradebook and Individual Student Gradebook offers a simple way to manage assignment details, student notes, and interventions—all in one place. Teachers can easily grant extensions, reopen assessments, update scores, and add notes directly within the Gradebook. This streamlines tasks and keeps everything organized for a more efficient experience.
Weekly Student Gradebook View
Teachers can view student grades and assignment completions on a weekly basis, aligned with the Course Week view found on the Course Home page. This new feature will make it easier to track student performance and progress week by week. Teachers can also toggle between viewing grades by Course Week or by gradebook categories, offering greater flexibility and control.
