There is an error in editor3 when trying to add a new version to the homework set. I'm using the version with jitar attached but it's possible this error was there before.

The editor glitches could be fixed in the next "editor tweaks" pull request. They don't affect jitar very much. |
Email bug/feature request for alerting instructor when student fails to successfully complete jitar problem. Here is what can happen if you try to "email the instructor" when there is more than one instructor in the course. You get this message: This probably occurs because smtp's are getting stricter about spam and I'm not sure that we properly fill out the "from" field when sending the "email the instructor" message. That's another problem, but at least with the email instructor button there is some alert that the mail is not working. With the jitar My short term suggestion is that jitar check that the mailing is successful as "email the instructor" does and send a note to the logfile (not the student) if the mailing fails. (email the instructor should also send a note to the logfile). A separate project, probably for a group of people at different universities, with different smtp servers, is to overhaul the emailing capability for webwork and make sure it works with smtp servers programmed with varying degrees of strictness about what emails it will accept. |

The jitar emailer is already set to print debug log messages if there are errors sending failure emails. Is there a different log I should use? As far as I know there isn't an "error" log. |
Checked final changes notifying the log about email failures. |
Just In Time Homework Assignments
This is the pull request for the just in time assessment and review (jitar) homework type. This is a new adaptive homework type where each homework set is a tree of problems. You can read more about the general description at:
and more about the various components of this pull request at
This is a pretty significant pull request, and will need testing. I'll put testing instructions in a future post, however these changes have been used at a couple of universities for the past year in dozens of courses. So while I'm sure there are issues, the whole system is pretty stable. In addition to the jitar system there are other things that snuck in.
