What's New?

  • Streamlined Navigation: We’ve reorganized our existing tools and features into a more intuitive layout, making it easier to find what you need with fewer clicks.

  • App-Based Interface: Tools are now grouped into apps, each designed around specific workflows. Whether you're grading, monitoring student progress, or managing assignments, everything is right where you need it.

  • Enhanced User Experience: Enjoy a cleaner, faster, and more responsive interface designed to enhance productivity and reduce time spent searching for functionalities.

App-Based Interface and Design

Much of the navigation uses the top nav bar to quickly switch between related tools. See the example of the updated Gradebook page below:

  1. We've selected Gradebook from the left-hand navigation bar. This brings up the Gradebook App where we can view, update, and configure student grades.

  2. Use the drop down menus to switch between different Sections. You can also select individual students to view grades by student.

  3. Related tools for the Gradebook are listed across the top nav. Click here to switch between different tools or settings pages.
