New & Upcoming Updates!
[ Edited Monday, Jan 30, 2012 ]
We have been listening to our users over the past few months, and are going to be making some changes that will greatly increase ease of use, navigation, and site performance. Our expected transition date is Saturday, February 4, 2012.
Top Navigation Changes
-
We will be removing the Courses and Groups block from the homepage/left menu and adding them to the top navigation. You will now be able to access all your courses and groups from any page on the site without having to go back “Home.” You will also be able to Create and Join courses/groups from this dropdown (depending on your permissions).
-
The Inbox has been changed to a mail icon that appears in the upper right next to Requests/Notifications. You will be able to preview received messages or create new ones from the dropdown.
-
We are moving the Logout and the School profile into the Account dropdown, which now appears at a button in the upper right corner. Your name is displayed next to this and acts as a link to your Profile.
-
Search has been shrunken down into a button that you can click on to activate search.
Course/Group Profile Navigation
-
Course Options / Group Options that appeared below the profile picture have been combined together into a single menu. We have also made it easier to access View Course As (which lets you view the course as a student) and Moderate Posts.
-
Members is now a left menu item and displays Admins and Members of each Course/Group.
-
Access Code is now visible in the left menu as well as inside the Members area.
Changes Impacting School Administrators:
We will be moving all import, export, and report card functionality into separate left menu items accessible only to administrators.
As always, we would love to hear your thoughts and opinions.
