Over thae past couple of years I have noticed some changes to the platform that seem to create issues when my students are completing both the labs and assessments on the new Labsim platform. The biggest of course is the Score button vs Save button on the assessments. I don't remember the Save option available in the past. When I pull the grades for my students, they tell me that the assignments were completed, but I don't see them on my end. What I am learning after talking with them is that they are selecting Save instead of Score. This is the same issue I had last year with the change on the labs where they select Check Answers, then have the option to Keep Working or Score Lab. In my opinion, the extra buttons are making things a little more difficult on both the students and the instructors. Is anyone else seeing this?

I see the same thing with mixed student opinions. Some love that they can know they can save the state of their work and return to it later, and others do just as your students have done, assumed save will publish the results to their instructor. I address it in the orientation but a few details for clarity in CertMaster would be most welcome!
