PhiloWelt 8.1.0 – What's New This version improves Classroom Mode: Stable discussion question: Once the collection phase ends – either via "Answer" or when time runs out – the last displayed question stays fixed. It no longer changes afterward in the background. Clear input times: After time runs out, students can no longer submit any entries. Only contributions sent in time are counted. Corrected info text on the Classroom Mode card for teachers.

Major update to Class Mode • Matching tasks, automatically: every question now comes with assignments at three levels (recall, explain, evaluate). • New learning texts that show why a question mattered in the past and still matters today. • Clearer feedback: you now learn exactly what to do to get better. • Model answer on demand: on your final attempt, you can reveal what a full solution would have looked like. • "Best result counts": a new attempt can never lower the score you've already achieved. • Faster, more reliable text generation.

**Version 7.0.0 — Classroom Mode in English & Improved Audio Player** **Multilingual Classroom Mode** Classroom Mode is now fully available in English. When the teacher uses the app in English, all students automatically switch to the same language when they join — including the audio story, learning text, cluster synthesis, and AI assessment. **Improved Audio Player** - New replay button in the teacher's player: restart the audio story from the beginning with a single tap. - The player now stays open after playback ends — the teacher decides when to dismiss the image. **Show or Hide Initials** In the teacher monitor, initials from rank 6 onward can now be hidden or revealed with a single tap — perfect for a suspenseful reveal in class. Available in both portrait and landscape. **Chat-Style Contributions** Your own contributions appear on the right like in a messenger app, others' on the left — easier to read through long discussions. **Synchronized Timers** - Live countdown in the submit button with a fair 30-second warning. - When the teacher adds time, the warning markers reset cleanly. **Tablet Layout** On tablets, cluster cards now appear in two columns — better readability on larger screens. **Stability & Polish** - Fixed: "Permission denied" error when leaving the room. - Consistent button heights and uniform font sizes in the teacher's button bar. - Header text and timer scale gracefully for long translations instead of overlapping. - Dialogs and assessment feedback now appear in the selected language.

**Version 6.2.0 — What's New:** ** Classroom Mode: Redesigned Learning Texts** The three learning texts are now encyclopedia-style expository texts, language-adapted to class level and school type. They introduce the problem, present two contrasting scientific positions from philosophy, social science, or psychology, and prepare students to form their own reasoned judgment. ** Fairer, More Stable Grading** Identical answers now always receive the same score — no more random variation between runs. The controversial "independent phrasing" criterion has been removed from the first two tasks. Grading now focuses clearly on content and comprehensible language. Tasks reference the actual thinker names directly. ** More Reliable iPad Editor** Fixed the occasional editor freeze when using Apple Pencil with an external keyboard. Copy & paste is now disabled in Classroom Mode for fair classwork. **Additional improvements:** better edge-case handling, cleaner UI alignment in the join screen, and background stability work.
