Verified production updates, newest first. All times use Toronto time. Historical entries also show when the note was published; a cumulative note does not imply that every feature launched together.
Practice planning and sign-in updates
Deployment verified
Note published
Practice time and question counts take account of parent priorities and recent independent answers. Work already started or completed is kept.
Parents can accept a suggested schedule or fine-tune individual days. Changes apply only to later activities that can still be adjusted.
Children signing in to their learning space with a username and six-digit PIN avoid an extra workspace load.
Parents can browse settings while learning records update. Saving still checks the latest plan.
Assessment reports now show the same daily practice allocation as the learning page.
Family learning, age-appropriate guidance and question bank updates
Deployment verified
Note published
The homepage and parent and child spaces highlight the next step, with reports, settings and detailed controls still available on phones, tablets and computers.
Parents can save learning observations and arrange assessment through practice. Children gradually build subject observations, while parents see subject charts, learning records and next steps. The initial assessment remains available.
AI literacy now varies by grade: younger learners focus on concepts, visual examples and safe use; older learners practise clear requests, checking information and practical use. Practice adapts within parent-approved limits and keeps completed records.
Question bank management can generate public-curriculum drafts with AI, then check format, answers, duplication and review before publication. Question versions and past answers are preserved. Automatic replenishment requires separate activation and does not skip review.
Daily practice supply and completion fixes
Deployment verified
Note published
Add daily practice material and repair how existing sections receive missing practice when new material is available, keeping saved answers and completed learning.
Show children simple section progress and a clear next step. Finishing the available daily tasks opens the learning summary without waiting out the time budget.
Learning navigation and plan-save improvements
Deployment verified
Note published
After sign-in, load the learning information needed for the current page first. Detailed reports load when opened, with existing records and access retained.
Existing learning pages can open settings more promptly, while protecting unsaved work, recordings and submissions in progress.
Plan saving avoids repeated waits while retaining checks for changes from other devices. Saved appears only after confirmation; conflicting edits remain available.
Seven-subject reports and learning-plan updates
Deployment verified
Note published
Initial and fortnightly reports summarize areas to strengthen in plain language, such as grammar use, vocabulary use, organization or reading comprehension, with practice and scheduling suggestions. Main cards omit question text, foreign-language extracts and evidence counts. Existing reports do not require a new initial assessment.
Fortnightly reports describe progress and areas still needing attention. Parents decide practice arrangements; recommendations do not automatically change the plan or increase total learning time.
Fixed false save conflicts that could occur when switching an existing time-based plan to daily sections. Started learning and saved records are retained, with protection against genuine changes from another page.
Incorrect practice answers receive guidance followed by a limited amount of follow-up practice. Children can finish after completing the daily assignment; errors remain available for review. Finishing practice is not treated as full mastery.
A clear daily summary shows achievements actually earned and offers further exploration. Completed subjects still allow access to saved work and feedback.
An incorrect-answer review is offered on the last planned learning day of each fortnight and can be resumed later. Review attempts are kept separately from the original answers.
The settings sign-out action now works with one click, while retaining protection during saves and for unsaved changes.
Parents can choose priorities, study days and a daily total together, review a two-week suggestion based on the child’s work, then confirm and save once. Individual-day adjustments remain optional. Saving shows an explicit receipt, planning mode and effective date.
English practice continuation and clearer feedback
Deployment verified
Note published
Added different Grade 5 English reading-reference exercises so saved learning waiting for follow-up material can continue. Existing questions, answers, work and grades are retained.
Answers stay on the left and guidance and feedback on the right, stacking on narrow screens. Clear item states and next actions distinguish saved work from completion of today’s learning.
Checks show only exercises answered correctly in the current practice set, alongside the remaining steps. Work-review levels are distinguished from task progress.
Removed a repeated read from some save and continue actions and added immediate feedback when opening a subject.
More Grade 5 tense practice and clearer continuation messages
Deployment verified
Note published
Added practice in different contexts for Grade 5 English and French past-event sequencing goals. Saved questions, answers and historical grading are retained.
Corrected feedback when continuing error-review practice: unavailable follow-up material is no longer mislabeled as an unsaved submitted answer. Newly available material can be used to continue saved progress.
More Grade 1 foundation mathematics practice for Ontario and British Columbia
Deployment verified
Note published
Two supplementary lesson sets with 11 practice situations, separate worked examples, answer explanations and feedback on incorrect choices support Grade 1 quantity comparison and part-whole goals within ten when questions are presented in English for Ontario or British Columbia. Both provinces share the situations; reuse is counted once. New cases join the matching existing question pools.
Materials are labeled as foundation support using only part of the number range in the provinces’ English curriculum sources. They do not establish full curriculum coverage, school-program certification or individual teacher approval. Started learning and history are retained, with no forced wait or repeated old-question padding.
Parent sign-in stays active for 30 idle minutes
Deployment verified
Note published
Parents are signed out after 30 consecutive minutes without interaction. Normal interaction renews the deadline; refreshing or background reads do not. Saved learning plans and records are retained.
Daily sections and clearer time estimates
Deployment verified
Note published
Parents can explicitly choose 2, 3 or 4 sections a day, including different goals in the same subject, while retaining selected subjects, learning level and curriculum scope. Existing plans keep their prior behavior. A day already started and its saved work are retained; changes begin on the next unstarted learning day.
The page separates the available time budget, sections and questions actually offered, estimated completion range and recorded interaction time. Future question counts can use recent answer timing when enough matching observations exist. Teaching, feedback and activities retain design allowances; sparse data is labeled as an initial estimate. Material shortages are shown. There is no forced wait, repeated-question padding or guarantee of 45 minutes or learning progress.
Original supplementary practice and worked examples in seven subjects
Deployment verified
Note published
Added 21 supplementary lesson blueprints and 126 original practice situations, mapped to primary and secondary targets in three grade bands. They include starting, guided, independent, transfer and exit practice, separate worked examples and explanations. Mathematics, science, geography, history and AI literacy have Chinese, English and French presentations; English and French use independently authored texts. Grade reuse and translations are not counted as new original cases.
New materials supplement specific targets while retaining saved questions, started practice and historical grading. These are supplementary foundations for specific targets, not full curriculum coverage or individual teacher certification. The 8–12 minute estimate per blueprint is uncalibrated; there is no forced wait or guarantee of 45 minutes or learning progress. Daily section scheduling is separate.
Clearer search information for public content
Deployment verified
Note published
Public pages provide article conclusions, help sections and official community links that match their visible content, preserving separate canonical URLs for Chinese, English and French.
Monthly journal sitemaps keep published historical articles discoverable. Private drafts, learning records and reports stay out of the index, with existing learning, sign-in and parent–child access flows retained.
Choose only selected subjects and set a country of residence
Deployment verified
Note published
Plans now offer chosen subjects only or a balanced rotation across seven subjects. In chosen-subject mode, planned time and subsequent recommendations stay within that selection, using learning evidence and parent priorities. Started learning and past records are retained.
Parents can choose their country of residence. New profiles default to Canada, and saved choices are retained. Residence and the child's Canadian curriculum are set separately; changing residence does not automatically change the curriculum.
Five illustrated parent-resource articles each day
Deployment verified
Note published
Today's five original articles are available in Chinese, English and French: two on learning methods and one each on family communication, AI literacy and everyday discovery, with illustrated practice steps. The daily task prepares drafts in advance and publishes at 9:00 Toronto time, retaining successful drafts and avoiding duplicate publication.
Google-first parent sign-in and Chinese parent test group
Deployment verified
Note published
Parent sign-in presents Google first while retaining email or username and password. The Chinese home-page beta section includes the parent test group’s WeChat QR code and its expiry notice.
French walkthrough and parent AI video series
Deployment verified
Note published
Home-page help now includes the French YouTube walkthrough. The English and French parent resource library includes the HootBill AI Explorers playlist in a responsive player; new videos added to the same playlist appear here.
Language-matched tutorials and visible written guidance
Deployment verified
Note published
Chinese help uses Bilibili and English help now includes the corresponding YouTube tutorial. All nine written chapters are visible without expanding them, per-chapter pending-video labels are removed, and the player adapts to the page width. The French video link remains pending.
Updated brand introduction and community links
Deployment verified
Note published
The brand and community area now introduces the current child-learning service and links to YouTube, Reddit, Bilibili and Facebook. Community, footer and contact links share the same channel settings, while learning and usage-help entry points remain available.
Chapter guides and a Chinese tutorial on the home page
Deployment verified
Note published
Nine chapter guides cover parent observations, child accounts and assessment, reports, plans and continuing learning. The Chinese page links to a complete Bilibili tutorial; English and French video links are pending.
Choose a curriculum region before the first assessment
Deployment verified
Note published
The first parent questionnaire requires an explicit choice of Québec, Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta or Other. Other requires confirmation of an available provincial curriculum as a reference. The curriculum choice is saved with the parent observations, while existing work and reports are preserved.
Updated Reddit community links
Deployment verified
Note published
Contact, home community and quick community links now lead to the new HootBill Reddit community.
Fix for new-parent questionnaire submission
Deployment verified
Note published
Parents who sign in before completing the questionnaire can confirm the nickname and grade and submit their observations without being blocked by the pending child profile. Existing sign-in permissions, data consent and saved content are preserved.
Consistent parent and child learning entry
Deployment verified
Note published
Assessment, free-trial and subject links follow the signed-in role, parent questionnaire and child-account status. Visitors complete the parent questionnaire before registering or signing in. Parents with a child account can actively switch to child sign-in. Google sign-in appears above the email form.
The privacy notice uses general purposes, storage rules and a contact email. Existing permissions, learning records, withdrawal, export and deletion controls are preserved.
Official video-channel and community links are available in the home-page footer.
Clear AI plan status
Deployment verified
Note published
When AI analysis does not pass validation and a rule-based plan is used, the page clearly says so. Saved learning progress is preserved, and AI calls are not retried automatically.
Evidence-based human review of recorded work
Deployment verified
Note published
Administrators can review recordings without automatic transcripts, using specific time ranges and observations after listening. Human observations remain separate from system scores.
Parent reports show summaries of human observations, while original recordings, verbatim quotations and private review notes stay out of the parent view.
A clearer first assessment and parent sign-in
Deployment verified
Note published
Parent sign-in brings account credentials and Google together, with separate registration, activation and password recovery steps. Parent observations are confirmed in one final submission.
Children explore seven subjects through choices, judgments and pictures, followed by reading, listening and expression. They can revisit answers and see their discoveries and next steps when finished.
Results remain available before sign-up. Parents then save to the selected child, while recording review and network retries retain progress. Work awaiting review does not stop the next step.
Continuous learning insights and clearer parent permissions
Deployment verified
Note published
The system uses initial exploration and later verified learning records to update the overall review, training priorities and next stage. Subjects and learning time saved by the parent are preserved.
External AI is a separate optional purpose, unchecked by default. Its use requires verified service and project data controls plus a separate parent choice. Missing conditions are explained, and unreviewed work stays pending. Server storage, parent permission and supplier data controls are explained separately; there is no no-save mode for answers and audio.
Parents can manage their own account before adding a first child. Public sign-in and exploration entrances use accurate notices.
Full older reports can be saved to the parent’s device in batches and acknowledged only after a local readback check. When local storage is unavailable, all pending reports can be downloaded within the export size limit. Downloading alone does not acknowledge or remove pending server records.
Children can see reminders that AI can be wrong and that they should leave out identifying details such as names and contact information. If something worries them or makes them uncomfortable, they can pause and ask a parent or another trusted adult for help.
Historical reports are checked against the child and parent or child view shown on the page. Late responses after a child switch cannot overwrite the new view.
Subject time follows current learning evidence
Deployment verified
Note published
After parents choose total time and learning days, unstarted learning uses initial work, recent verified independent answers and parent priorities to update estimated time per subject. Missing evidence is not treated as weakness, and total time stays unchanged. Usually each subject keeps at least eight minutes, so short allocations can be equal.
All seven subjects continue rotating. Parent priorities guide allocation without excluding other subjects; learning also works without extra priorities. A started day's arrangements, earlier learning records and reports are retained. Insufficient time still produces an optional suggestion.
Learning profiles ask for grade
Deployment verified
Note published
New child profiles and guest exploration no longer ask for age. Learning content continues to follow the selected grade, and existing learning records are preserved.
Limited beta and two weeks of standard access
Deployment verified
Note published
The homepage shows the beta dates, remaining days and hours, and an updating participant count. Its beta entry leads directly to the existing parent registration.
While the beta is open and places remain, verified parents automatically receive 14 days of standard access, once per account. No payment card or automatic renewal is required.
Independent language tasks and clearer learning plans
Deployment verified
Note published
Written practice answers use the full text keyboard for fractions, minus signs and other symbols needed by the task.
New English initial assessments use reading, writing, speaking and sequence tasks authored separately from French. Junior English listening also has independent notices with matching audio. Saved older assessments retain their original material; raw scores across versions or languages do not establish progress.
Saving a parent plan checks the latest state. A child's new learning progress does not require discarding the plan draft. If the plan changes elsewhere, edits are kept for review to avoid overwriting it. Failed saves show the reason and retain the edits.
All seven subjects rotate through learning days, with priority for parent choices and areas supported by evidence of difficulty. The parent's total time is kept. If two weeks provide too little time, the plan suggests more days or daily time. Parents can keep the original schedule and include the remaining subjects in later rotations. Started or completed learning and reports are preserved.
Parents set the learning plan after the child's initial assessment. Before starting, the page recommends allowing about 60 minutes, with breaks across sessions at the child's pace; submit the current answer before resting. Safety guidance is shown at the start, and the feedback entrance remains at the bottom of the page.
Family settings and saving the initial exploration
Deployment verified
Note published
Children can open their own settings during the initial assessment and return to continue it. Edits must be saved or discarded before switching.
Settings use the existing independent sign-out and sign-in flow. Saved initial-assessment progress remains available after signing in again.
Saving this exploration shows the child nickname already entered. A parent still explicitly chooses a new record for this exploration or the corresponding existing child record; matching nicknames do not merge records automatically.
When the initial assessment is still incomplete, saving the child’s sign-in opens parent settings. The child still signs in independently with their own username and six-digit PIN for the initial assessment.
100 beta places and waitlist registration
Deployment verified
Note published
Recruitment runs from the beta launch until October 31, 2026 at 23:59 Toronto time, or until all 100 places are taken. Eligibility is checked after verified activation. Eligible families receive 14 free days without automatic renewal.
When places are full or recruitment ends, the page shows that beta places are full and still offers waitlist registration. Eligible campaign registrants will receive an additional 14 days of membership at general availability. Related email reminders are optional and can be withdrawn.
Activation emails thank parents for participating and explain their actual eligibility, free period and next steps. Updates or adjustments may occur during the beta without advance notice. Adopted feedback may receive an additional confirmed reward.
Resuming practice and finding saved work
Deployment verified
Note published
When practice needs new material, children can check for updates and continue after the existing availability checks. Earlier answers and progress are kept.
Completed independent practice can be reopened under Saved work and feedback. This lists today’s eight most recent saved independent works. Earlier records follow the existing retention rules.
From parent observations to child sign-in
Deployment verified
Note published
After sharing observations, parents set their child’s nickname, individual username and six-digit PIN. Children then sign in for their first exploration.
Child usernames remain unique across families, while nicknames can be shared. Unsuccessful setup keeps the entered details and existing records.
Children exploring on their own can still try activities anonymously, view results and then invite a parent to save them.
Clearer insights and a two-week learning plan
Deployment verified
Note published
The initial report leads with the child's overall performance, strengths, areas to develop, and practical priorities towards the parent's goals. Subject tabs and reading, exploration and preparation suggestions keep the next steps clear.
After the initial assessment, families can see recommended two-week goals and a learning schedule. A single adjustment window lets parents set subjects, time and added challenge for each weekday, with changes applied when saved.
Today, Plan and Growth are grouped at the top, and the account name opens settings. Daily, two-week and initial reports have separate views, making completion and next steps easier to follow.
Family learning settings and clearer feature information
Deployment verified
Note published
Parents choose the initial assessment language. Children who have not completed it enter the assessment when they sign in, using their own username and six-digit PIN.
Children can write a note to their parent in Settings even without a learning plan. Parents can refresh Today or Settings to read it. Replies, read receipts and push notifications are not available.
When external AI suggestions are unavailable, the page explains the limit. Parents can still arrange rule-based daily plans. Expression work awaiting review remains separate from verified results and is not treated as an ability score.
Active agreement when registering
Deployment verified
Note published
New education registrations require an active agreement selection, with the full text available in Chinese, English and French in a new tab. Agreement acceptance stays separate from recording, external AI and campaign-notification permissions. Existing accounts keep their sign-in methods.
AI learning permission and a shorter notice
Deployment verified
Note published
Before learning starts, a parent must actively agree to AI processing. A shorter notice explains AI purposes, saved learning records and recording submission. Recordings still need separate permission, and existing viewing, export and deletion controls remain available.
Clearer safety feedback and foundation learning plans
Deployment verified
Note published
External AI processing adds text safety checks. An incomplete check or content needing attention pauses that review without a zero score or automatic retry. Parents must confirm the updated purpose notice; AI use still requires the service and project data-control conditions.
Initial assessment, guest and daily-learning entrances provide children an AI notice about possible mistakes, avoiding identifying details and asking a trusted adult. Children can report content that makes them uncomfortable. Parents can view records and contact the responsible person. Viewing a record does not mean the issue is resolved. This feature does not provide instant replies or push notifications.
With automatic placement, sufficient independent evidence of difficulty at the current course level first leads to a foundation check one level lower. This does not redefine the child’s assessed ability grade. School grade, parent-selected level and study time are preserved. Advancement still needs independent evidence across question types and dates.
Review days show regular practice time, additional stage-challenge time and the daily total separately. Parent plan settings explain the extra challenge time, and reports label regular practice time clearly. Existing challenges and questions are preserved.
Speech recognition follows the practice subject
Deployment verified
Note published
English and French practice use speech-recognition language settings for the subject. Other subjects keep the selected study language. The transcript still needs confirmation before it is saved as work.
Visual reports and clearer learning entrances
Deployment verified
Note published
Parents can select subject cards to explore observations, priorities and next steps, with visual completion summaries. Children revisit their efforts through discovery trails and achievement cards.
The website and learning home organise navigation with icons and short labels. Signed-in families return to their progress, while visitors clearly choose parent, child or shared exploration.
Reports unfold in short steps, with supporting detail available on demand. Desktop, tablet and phone layouts and image proportions are refined.
Homepage language and remembered preferences
Deployment verified
Note published
On a first homepage visit, Chinese, English or French follows the browser’s language preferences. A manual website-language choice is remembered in the same browser and takes priority on later homepage visits, even if the system language changes.
Website language preferences do not change the parent’s assessment language, study settings, learning materials or speech-recognition language. Clearing the browser’s website preferences restores the first-visit behavior.
Clearer child PIN sign-in and parent password changes
Deployment verified
Note published
Children enter their six-digit PIN in separate boxes, with paste and individual digit editing. Parents can reset the selected child’s password directly in settings, keeping the account and learning history.
Learning-data information and device checks
Deployment verified
Note published
Adds the operator, privacy contact and business address, with Chinese, English and French explanations of learning-data purposes, parental choices and withdrawal.
Device checks let you declare a physical device or simulated environment. Downloads include the current site and available verified version information; test recordings play locally without automatic upload.
Brand website and learning-centre test entry
Deployment verified
Note published
The brand homepage, public tryout and parent library connect to the existing learning centre in Chinese, English and French.
Complete the initial exploration and view results before signing in. A parent signs in and confirms the child profile when saving a lasting record, without repeating valid completed work.
Reports, plans, daily learning and education administration continue in the existing system. This test uses fictional child details; real child data and live charging remain disabled.
Interest-based settings and report archives
Deployment verified
Note published
Choose familiar book, animation, music and game themes through original practice settings linked to existing subject goals. Knowing the original work is not required.
With lightweight storage enabled, full milestone reports are archived in the parent’s browser with downloadable backups. The server retains readable summaries and continuation data, and cleans original material only when processing no longer needs it.
Separate exam and children’s learning administration
Deployment verified
Note published
TCF/TEF and the children’s learning centre use separate sign-in and administration entry points. Exam accounts no longer show children’s learning subscriptions, and exam administration no longer provides children’s subscription or beta settings.
Parents can sign in to the children’s learning centre with Google, or register by email, verify their address, recover access and change their password. These accounts are managed separately from existing TCF accounts.
The original TCF writing entry remains at https://hootbill.com/tcf/writing, preserving existing accounts, work and history.
Live charging remains disabled, and children’s learning tests continue to use fictional data.
Writing timeout feedback and next learning steps
Deployment verified
Note published
When writing time expires, the original is sealed. Saved answers continue to Chinese feedback; empty originals do not start an initial assessment. Returning within a valid session can resume unfinished feedback.
Feedback now points to basics, self-revision, revision assessment, transfer practice and review. Transfer practice becomes available after a revision assessment.
TEF speaking entry restored
Deployment verified
Note published
Adds the missing production TEF speaking route to resolve the entry’s 404. Practice access remains governed by the current account and TEF access settings.
September additions to the TCF speaking question bank
Deployment verified
Note published
Adds 12 Task 2 interactions and 10 Task 3 opinion topics to focused practice and normal mock-exam selection, preserving existing topics and history.
The study area offers optional sample questions and responses from the supplied practice material. They are not official exam questions, prescribed answers or scoring standards.
TCF speaking connection and practice improvements
Deployment verified
Note published
Improves connection continuity during speaking practice and mock exams: the page continues receiving connection updates while background processing is delayed.
If a connection drops, the option to resume the same attempt remains available, and the failure type is recorded to help diagnose it.
Simpler analytics choice on arrival
Deployment verified
Note published
On arrival, choose Accept or Decline in a compact prompt that closes after your choice. Browsing, sign-in and trial access remain available.
Basic visit sources continue to be counted anonymously. Your choice controls optional site analytics; Google measurement still requires a separate choice on the privacy page.
Product updates with precise timestamps
Deployment verified
Note published
Adds verified historical feature updates in deployment-time order, with the note publication time shown separately.
Each entry shows the Toronto date, time to the second and time zone. Future verified production updates publish their corresponding notes automatically.
Improves expired records after an interrupted visit: expired unused budget reservations close once no call remains in progress, preserving practice history and existing attempt counts. The page clearly marks expired attempts.
Activate a TCF trial after sign-in while places remain
Deployed
Note published
Eligible regular users can activate TCF speaking practice and full mock exams after Google sign-in while places remain, without waiting for manual review.
This batch is limited to 100 accounts. Each new activation receives 9 practice attempts and 3 full mock exams, with no fixed expiry but finite attempt limits.
Already-signed-in users without access can activate from the trial entry; existing approved accounts keep their remaining attempts and expiry.
