I downloaded 16.1 and have been trying it out. Here are a few comments and a few problems.
Using a PC and Windows 10.
1. In 16: Love the new pull tab. And that old dice were automatically replaced.
2. Like the idea of the new response system but had major problems with it.
a. Tried an old SMART Response test (multiple choice). Answers appeared but the question did not. *Incomplete question, edit activity to complete. Also tried a new sample quiz and saved as a list and had the same thing happen. Tried a few old response files and sometimes the questions did appear.
Going back to the old file, I found that the questions had totally disappeared. So I have answers but no questions which means I have to redo work from scratch.
b. Tried an opinion question and it did not allow me any place to put in a response and just marked it wrong. Tried an old response file and it did allow me to enter a response.
c. major problem since I teach math and use Math tools or the Equation option in Word.
*d. major pet peeve. That “Good Job” after submitting work. I did a sample quiz of 3 questions.
Got 1 right, missed 1 and did not submit answer to an opinion question (because it wouldn’t let me). This was not a good job. Please Get rid of it or give an option. Believe strongly that teaching demands honest praise. Also I teach older students (high school and community college) and they often find this babyish.
e. miss the SMART Response ability to give attendance for the class. Found it extremely useful.
