New Peppi version is ready to use - get familiar with the new functionalities

The University of Oulu's Peppi system has been updated to version 4.6.0, which includes technical fixes for previously identified issues and error situations. The new version includes general accessibility updates. Additionally, the update introduces new functionality to improve usability in Peppi, which will be detailed further below.

We are continuously developing Peppi in the future as well. The next planned version update for Peppi is scheduled for spring 2024. Peppi is developed with a user-centric approach, and we gladly welcome feedback at peppi@oulu.fi.

Accessibility

In this version, the visual and mechanical accessibility of Peppi has been enhanced by adding functionalities for screen readers and keyboard navigation in accordance with the international Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. The update includes the addition of text alternatives, correction of contrasts, and logical progression for keyboard navigation. Mobile accessibility for the Student’s desktop has been improved by fixing table layouts. Accessibility improvements for the Student’s desktop include, for example, enhanced functionality for navigating between different tabs using keyboard and control of content brought to focus by cursor or keyboard.

Recognition of Learning

  • Pre-application has changed to a regular credit transfer application after saving a draft. This is fixed and the application stays as a pre-application after saving.
  • On the credit transfer application, period should be still used as a decimal separator when you inform credits in decimal numbers.

Study attainments

A functionality button has been added to the Credits view, opening up the assessment history. You can see, for example, the grades of retakes or corrections to study attainment from the assessment history. The assessment history opens from the attention button, which is visible in the Credits page next to the respective performance.
