Course materials provider FlatWorld is updating its homework platform with new capabilities. Included free with most of the company's textbooks, FlatWorld Homework combines student assignments with instructor grading tools in a mobile-friendly interface, so students can complete their homework and professors can review assignments on the go, according to the company.

New features of the platform include:

• Randomized assignments, which allow instructors to configure homework assignments with randomly selected variants so that students attempt the same questions but with different values;
• Enhanced grade reports, including a dynamic table with compact and expanded views, sortable by student name or final score;
• Invitation links for instructors, allowing faculty to gain self-service access to a course; and
• Improved sorting of courses, in which users are presented with the most recently started courses first.
