Welcome
to Fusion!
Not
only do we have a new name but we also have a whole host of fantastic new
features and updates to make the user experience even better! Below are just a
few of these features.
Office 365 Integration
Fusion
has four new dashboard panels that integrate with your Office 365 account, showing
unread emails, calendar events and quick links to Office 365 tools such as
Word, Excel and PowerPoint. The
OneDrive panel will show all files in your 365 OneDrive, recent files and shared
files, directly shared to you by other people.
Homework Editor
When
creating homework, the description box now uses a rich text editor, so you can
style it up however you want. This allows you to format text and insert
links/images. Other resources can still be added as previously, using the drag
and drop uploader, the clipboard or the new file option.
Forms
There
have been several updates to our popular Form builder tool making it even more
useful and easy to use! Free text answers can now be marked, forms can be
graded, timers can be added to quizzes and more question options have been
added.
Metrics and Reports
Fusion has a range of reports, graphs and metrics, which
historically have remained scattered throughout the system. We have now created
a single place where all reports will reside. Teachers, staff and
administrators will now find a new link at the top of the screen entitled
“Reports” which will provide a single page, detailing all the reports and
metrics available from the platform. Many of our reports have been updated to take advantage of our
new Fusion Graphing engine which will now also operate on Tablets and
Smartphones.
You also have access to the new “Metrics” button for more detailed analysis of your school community.
Languages
We’re really pleased to announce that we’ve added 14 new language
packs to the product. Notable entries include support for Kurdish, Pashto and
Kyrgyz with new language splits for two types of Gaelic and support for Frisian
(for our colleagues in The Northern Netherlands). We now cover 96% of the
world’s language requirements, standing at 113 languages! These language packs
have been updated for Teachers, Students and Parents on all devices.
