JuiceMind Changelog

Every new feature, curriculum, and improvement. What shipped, when it shipped, and what it means for your classroom!

  1. Grading

    We rebuilt our grading system from the ground up, so teachers can now grade up to 60% faster. Here's what you can do with the updated grading experience:

    • See how many students are still waiting on a grade the moment you open an assignment.
    • Give your students the opportunity for another attempt by resubmitting the assignment.
    • Click any gradebook cell to open that student's work without leaving the page.
    A JuiceMind assignment with an UPDATED corner ribbon: a blue banner reads 1 student need grading beside a green Grade Students button, above a Java code editor and a Members panel where one student is tagged Needs Grading.

  2. Features

    Students can now work together in a shared workspace to tackle more complex problems. With Group Projects, you can:

    • Give students hands-on experience collaborating, problem-solving, and discussing design choices.
    • See how each student contributed with the history slider.
    • Keep students engaged as they build, test, and solve problems together.
    A Scratch group project: the Group 1 roster shows Jordan Chen, Priya Patel, Maya Brooks and Sam Ortiz all online beside a shared Scratch editor, where cursors labelled Jordan, Maya and Priya edit the same block script and stage.

  3. Curriculum

    A new AP Cybersecurity project based on Scenario 2 of the official CED. Students work through a series of realistic simulations as they assess the acquisition of a new lab facility, Meridian Labs, identifying physical and cybersecurity vulnerabilities along the way.

    The Meridian Labs research campus at twilight, seen from the air, with six numbered hotspots marking the Lab Door, Loading Dock, Reception, Rear Fire Exit, Server Room and Employee Parking Lot, above an icon strip reading Find vulnerabilities, Assess the risk, Recommend controls and Plan monitoring.

  4. Tools

    Hands-on cybersecurity labs that run in the browser. Students get a live Linux terminal in a safe, sandboxed environment — no virtual machines, no installs, and nothing touching the school network.

    • Live Linux terminals students open straight from an assignment
    • Ready-made labs teachers can assign as-is or customize
    • Automatic test cases, one-click review, comments and grading
    • Grade sync with Canvas, Schoology, and Google Classroom
    JuiceMind Cyber Range: a browser Linux terminal running grep and sha256sum against /var/log/auth.log, beside a Project Files panel marking each incident report Original, Match or Altered and summarising 4 files checked, 1 integrity mismatch.
