To get a glimpse at all the updates we made over the 2026 Summer, check out this Help Doc!
Expanded and Enhanced Live Monitoring and Live Monitoring Access
Live Monitoring gives teachers and administrators real-time visibility into student assessment activity. Educators can see which students are actively working, monitor progress during assignments and assessments, identify students who may be off task, and take immediate action when needed. You can also grant access to additional Teachers or School Admins via Live Monitoring Access in the Assignment Settings so they can view student progress as they work on their activities.
Released: August 2026
Proctor Mode
Proctor Mode is a new assignment setting designed to support more secure testing environments. When enabled, students will be notified that they are entering a secure activity. If a student leaves the secure testing environment, their activity will be locked and will require teacher intervention to continue. This setting can be enabled for any assignment you create!
Released: June 2026
Platform Redesign
Our platform has been redesigned to help you get where you need to go faster and more easily than ever! Enjoy dedicated Class and Student Dashboards, an enhanced left navigation menu, and a more streamlined experience throughout the platform.

AI-Assisted Authoring
AI-Assisted Authoring helps educators create standards-aligned assessment questions in seconds directly within the authoring tool. Simply select the subject, domain, standard, and DOK, enter a prompt, and the AI generates a draft question that can be edited and refined before being added to an assessment. AI-generated questions can also be combined with Progress Learning's 200,000+ item bank to build customized formative and summative assessments.

Quick Click Remediation for Assessment Results
You can now assign Quick Click Remediation directly from the Results Report - View by Assessment - Student Dot Rank. This remediation is based on the average of all attempts a student has made on the assessment, and you can assign practice questions for up to three of their weakest standards.

Results Report - Teacher Dot Rank tab
We've added a handy new tab in the Results Report - View by Assessment for District and School Admins. The new Teacher Dot Rank tab gives you a teacher-by-teacher overview of class performance.
