Release Date: December 11, 2025
We’re excited to share several new improvements across ampEducator designed to make workflows faster, clearer, and more efficient. These updates enhance grading, attendance, job processing, and overall system responsiveness—especially for institutions with larger student volumes.
User Job Queueing Improvements
Jobs now run through a new queueing system that processes tasks one at a time, improving performance and reducing server load. Each queued job now displays its progress and position in the queue. We’ve also added a My Jobs filter so you can easily view the tasks you initiated, along with Visibility options to keep system-level jobs hidden unless needed.
Faster Gradebook, Course Students, and Attendance Pages
We’ve optimized several core areas of ampEducator to handle larger course sizes more efficiently. Gradebook, Course Students, and Attendance pages now load significantly faster, even for courses with hundreds of students. Updates to grades and attendance are processed more efficiently, resulting in a smoother, more responsive user experience.
Recalculation Indicator for Grades & Attendance
When a grade or attendance value is updated, ampEducator now provides immediate visual feedback while recalculations run in the background. A small glowing indicator appears beside values that are currently being updated. Once recalculation is complete, the final number is automatically refreshed. This indicator appears throughout the system wherever grade or attendance totals update.
Grade Limit Removed
We’ve removed the previous limit of approximately 60 grades per course. Courses can now support any number of grade items without impacting performance, thanks to backend improvements that handle grade data more efficiently.
General Performance Enhancements
Additional background improvements help ensure faster interactions throughout the platform. These updates reduce bottlenecks, streamline data processing, and provide a more consistent experience for schools of all sizes.
