- Minor revision implemented
- A minor revision, related to the way the symbol ' is treated is searches, has been implemented. Before, "we're", for example, did not appear when "we" was searched with the exact match option selected, but now "we're", or "that's", for example, do appear when "we" or "that" are searched with the exact match option selected.

- OnCAL now includes pedagogical functions
- OnCAL has been revised and now provides information related to pedagogical functions. Users can now see examples of how teachers realize each pedagogical function just by choosing the function of interest. Words and expressions related to each function are registered in the system, and when the user selects a function, a fraction of those expressions are displayed. If the user inputs a word or string and restrict the search to a pedagogical function, the search will be restricted to sentences containing the words/expressions registered for that particular function.
OnCAL is still under development and the pedagogical functions listed, or the words/expressions registered for each pedagogical function, may change without announcement. Still, we hope that OnCAL will continue to provide many insights to teachers and students.
