Automatically send messages to students when a mark is posted

Release date: 6 September 2025

The new Virtual Assistant allows instructors to automatically send messages to students based on the performance criteria for assessment tools.

The automation options currently include:

  • Send congratulatory message: Send a congratulatory message when students achieve a high score.
  • Send supportive message: Send a supportive message when students do not achieve a specified score.

The messages are fully customisable allowing instructors to provide additional help and support or information about reassessment opportunities where appropriate.

Ally PDF Quick Fixes

Ally has introduced a new PDF Quick Fixes feature. The feature allows you to easily apply OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to a PDF. Applying OCR adds a hidden text layer, making the content accessible without changing its appearance.
