Cambridge One - What's new
Find the latest updates to the Cambridge One platform which have been made to improve the experience for you and your students. Visit the links below for more detailed information.
Aggregated progress data report
The new 'Aggregated Data' report offers teachers and administrators aggregated learner progress data across all class materials, incorporating any class-specific score customisations.
Permanent deletion of empty class
Teachers can now permanently delete an empty class that has no students, other teachers, groups, assignments, content access rules, or grading scales added to it.
Desktop app 200 classes
Desktop App users will now have the same experience as in the Webapp and will be able to retrieve up to 200 classes.
Video Subtitles
We have reduced the space subtitles occupy when displaying in the video.
Online launch Test Generator
Teachers are now able to choose if they want to launch the Test Generator online or to download it to a device.
Guided tours and tutorials (Teachers)
After creating their account, a new teacher is now presented with five of the most useful tutorials to successfully start their work in Cambridge One.
Assignment scheduling and notifications improvements (Teachers)
Teachers can now set assignments with a future start date and exact start and due time whilst Learners will receive notifications at the assignment start date and time.
Best versus First attempt-based scoring (Administrators)
Administrators can now determine which of the student attempts should be used as basis for their overall score calculation.
Grading categories in downloadable progress reports (Teachers & Administrators)
Grading categories are non-digital progress items that students need to be assessed on, e.g. attendance, behaviour, a class project, etc. In this release, we are adding grading category data to the downloadable teacher and administrator reports.
Grade weighting and activity inclusion in downloadable progress reports (Teachers & Administrators)
Teachers and administrators will now be able to customise the data included in the student progress reports they download. They will be able to choose whether the reports reflect all progress data for their classes, or only the data on items administrators have included in class grade calculation (set up beforehand).
Help
We all need a bit of help sometimes, which is why we’ve created our ‘Help’ section. You can search through a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Teachers, Administrators, Learners and Parents. If your question is not answered here simply get in touch with us.
Customisable data views – Teacher score (Administrators)
In Cambridge One, teachers sometimes need the ability to manually override auto-marked activity scores. We have now enabled Administrators to give or take away teacher permissions so that teachers can override scores in a class. It also allows teachers with permission to add ‘Teacher Scores’ to auto-marked activities.

Sign-up (All users)
The wording used throughout the signup process has been updated in response to customer feedback and user research. The improved guidance means that role selection and creating an account is easier and better information will reduce common issues. These improvements will launch gradually in early 2024.

Creating classes without a teacher (Administrators)
Previously classes had to include a teacher when being created. This was an issue for Administrators who needed to create classes before teachers were appointed. This requirement to have a teacher has now been removed from Cambridge One.

Copy from a class (Administrators)
Previously Administrators were only able to create assignments separately for each class, it was not possible to copy previously created assignments and learning material lists into a new class.
Cambridge One now has a new function for Administrators to copy learning material lists, assignments, locking and unlocking rules and also teachers from a previously created class into a new class or several new classes in one go.

Class deletion (Teachers & Administrators)
Teachers and Administrators can now delete classes, which removes them from both teachers' and learners' dashboards. Administrators also have the ability to view, organize, and restore any deleted classes.

Reporting journey updates (Teachers)
We are introducing a new, dedicated teacher ‘Reports’ page, where users will trigger and then download reports, once they are generated. Report readiness emails will be replaced with Cambridge One notifications, keeping the full journey within the platform.
