What's Changed

High level overview

Release 0.17.0 introduces updates to our quizzes to provide coaches with more flexibility in customizing quizzes. With 0.17.0, Kolibri is now available in Punjabi.

Added

New Feature: Updates to quiz workflow with new sections and question replacement functionality

Updates to our quizzes provide coaches more flexibility in creating quizzes by swapping out questions or removing questions to create the quiz they want. Coaches choose resources from which questions are selected. They can then review individual questions, and replace or remove individual questions, customising the quiz to learner needs. Coaches can also divide the quiz into sections of up to 25 questions each, allowing for longer quizzes.

Noteworthy technical updates include updating to a third version of our Exam model data schema, the addtion of a new draft exam model to allow editing of quizzes before they are made active/syncable, introducing a new accordion component, and changing the quiz creation routing structure to use nested routes and a side-panel style UX.
