A new field has been added to help with CALPADS
reporting of Dual Enrollment courses. The "Dual Enrollment Credit
School" field (HIS.SDE) will be used by the CALPADS extracts to identify
the college level courses taken by a student. This field allows the
"School Taken" to be populated with the Community College while the
Dual Enrollment Credit School would be populated with the high school of the
student at the time of enrollment. The CALPADS EOY extracts will be adjusted
to properly report this information.
A major new build of Aeries Communications has been
released. New Features include the following… (1) Flexible Announcements: Now
send announcements to Voice calls, SMS text or Email, customize content or
override machine translation for each modality individually. (2) SMS
Customization: Users can now edit SMS-specific content and translations. (3)
SMS Character Limit: SMS announcement notifications are now capped at a
maximum of 480 characters and the system will automatically shorten the
default text if no custom content is created. SMS messages are now numbered
individually since some carriers may break them into multiple 160-character
messages and deliver them out of their original order. (4) SMS Preview: We've
added a new SMS Preview tab which previews SMS content and approximates SMS
delivery in multiple 160-character messages. (5) Email Customization:
Machine-translated email content can now be customized. HTML
Editor/Newsletter creation coming soon.
Enhancements and Bug Fixes Include…
(1) For voice announcements, our text-to-speech feature is now using
best-in-breed voice synthesis, offering dramatically improved quality. (2)
Teachers can now send recorded voice calls to their classes or groups. (3)
Added a new progress indicator to Announcement Creation to clarify our simple
Compose -> Customize -> Review process. (4) Removed the step where
users needed to select a "General" or "Emergency"
category. "Emergency" announcements are now chosen within the "Customize"
stage. (5) Announcement Detail reporting has been adjusted to support
announcements with less than 3 modalities. If a modality was disabled during
the creation of the announcement, it will appear as "Disabled" for
all users within reports. (6) Added Turkish and Romanian Text-to-speech
support. (7) Fixed a bug where the Announcement Recipient Filter would not
close. (8) Fixed a bug where the voice system might not leave a message or
would add silence at the beginning of the message. (9) Fixed a bug in MS Edge
where users were unable to close voice or text customization tabs. (10) Fixed
a bug in MS IE 11 where announcement creation would load a blank, white
screen.
