What's new in Testpress Learning Management System - Oct 2020
One of the common feedback which we get from customers is that they aren't aware of the new features which are being released inside Testpress. We are addressing this going forward by documenting what new features gets released every month.
There are some exciting updates in Testpress and we’ve got a lot to cover today, so let’s get started!
Pop-up questions in your videos
When you publish a video for your students, it is very important to ensure that your students have understood what they are seeing.
One highly promising tool to increase the effectiveness of educational videos is the introduction of questions that pop-up within the video. This is called as Interpolated Testing.
Now you can do the same inside Testpress LMS.
- Click Questions in a Video
- Click Add question
- Add your question and mention the position in seconds at which the question should pop-up.
- When a student is watching this video he would be prompted this question at that position. You can see a demo here
Institute's video bandwidth usage tracking
You can now see how much video has been consumed by your students. This can help you in assessing your costs and the impact your videos are creating for your students.
This is available in the settings page.
Bulk update password from admin UI
You can now change password for many users in a single shot from the admin UI via an excel sheet.
This comes handy when you have to change the password for many users. Doing it one by one might be time consuming.
- Select bulk update password from the memberships page
- Upload excel file of users with passwords
Force logout users as a batch
You can now logout users forcibly belonging to a particular batch.
This comes handy when you want to make a change in some question when an exam is running and you would like it to be reflected for all users.
- To force logout users, you can do the same from the batches list page
Zoom iOS Integration
Zoom support inside LMS for iOS is now available. The integration is completely seamless using Zoom SDK.
With this all your users can attend online class from their iPhones and iPads.

Students report as excel
Often you might be requested by parents who might inquire about the progress report of their students.
You can download students report via excel from the member detail page.
The excel report can then be used in any third party tool to generate meaningful report as PDF.
We hope these features will come as handy when you are conducting online courses and selling it to your students.
