Student Places 

We have fixed an issue in Edumate 7.0 where marks and places were not appearing on the Student Places screen.

Direct Debits Processing

We have resolved a Finance issue where Automatic Payment direct debits were still being processed when no payment method was set. The query now excludes debtors without a valid payment method, preventing unintended direct debits.

Analytics API

We have improved the performance of the getStudentCourseResults endpoint used by TrackOne Studio. By using bulk queries and adding caching for key calculations, response times are now significantly faster for large report periods with many students and courses.

Medicare and Healthfund Data

Many schools are reducing data risk by removing Medicare and Healthfund details for students who are no longer enrolled. This Edumate tool automates that process by deleting this information for past students.

Coming Soon: Canvas Sync II

Our enhanced Canvas sync will send Edumate coursework tasks to Canvas so students can complete and submit them there. Teachers can mark the work in Canvas using rubrics, and both marks/grades and criteria results automatically sync back to Edumate for reporting and archiving.
