Educators balance lesson planning, recordkeeping, reporting, and communication every day. Lummio v3.42 was designed to simplify those workflows with meaningful course creation improvements for educators, helping teachers, specialists, and program coordinators spend more time supporting learners and less time navigating administrative tasks.
This release introduces powerful updates to academic year management, assignment creation, student record restoration, and course organization. Each improvement reflects real challenges educators face, from reusing assignment materials efficiently to correcting student data and maintaining program structure across the school year, including those working in After School and Daycare programs.
Below is a deep look at what’s new and how these updates support your daily work.
Key Features and Course Creation Improvements for Educators
Academic Year Module and Lifecycle Control
Lummio now provides a fully structured Academic Year module that institutions can enable or disable based on their organizational needs. This gives administrators greater flexibility when planning sessions, defining reporting periods, or transitioning between school years.
You can create academic years in Draft mode, activate them when ready, suspend active years, archive old years, and restore deleted ones. These safeguards help schools maintain a consistent structure while preventing data errors, such as accidentally deleting an active year.
Use case: A school administrator preparing mid-year structural changes can create the upcoming academic cycle in Draft, configure it, and enable it only when all stakeholders are ready.
Assignment Templates with Rich Text Editing for Faster Course Creation
Teachers can now build reusable assignment templates equipped with a WYSIWYG editor. This allows you to format text, add lists, insert links, and attach files to create polished assignments quickly. Templates save significant time when preparing recurring tasks or multi-step learning activities.
When creating a new assignment, educators can choose from personal templates or school-wide ones. Files from templates copy over seamlessly, and all attached material appears together when editing the assignment.
Use case: A math teacher preparing weekly problem sets can store a template, update only the numbers or examples, and publish the new assignment within seconds.
Restore Soft-Deleted Students and Teachers
Administrators can now easily recover accidentally deleted student or teacher records. A dedicated page lists all archived users with essential details and a restore action. This helps maintain accurate student histories and ensures no learning data is lost due to errors.
Use case: If a student re-enrolls midyear or was mistakenly removed, the admin can restore their record and reinstate full access instantly.
Improved Course Management and Consistent Navigation
Course creation improvements for educators. Courses now appear under one navigation item, making it easier for teachers and staff to create, edit, and deliver learning materials. Course creation opens directly in Designer view, attached files persist correctly, and quizzes can be added from pre-created sets.
These improvements support more consistent curriculum management and reduce confusion when building multi-lesson courses.
Use case: A teacher designing a semester-long elective can now organize materials cleanly and ensure students always see the correct version.
