HAX 7 Release

HAX 7 was released in June 2023 and put into production across hundreds of courses at Penn State (The Pennsylvania State University). This is the largest release of the platform to date and will start actively being promoted to other groups at the university beyond the core team as a viable content management solution for engaging instructional materials.
