What’s New

Collaborations - web-based tools (like Google Docs) that allows
users to work collaboratively on tasks like group papers or notetaking.
Conclude Course* – becomes read-only 7 days after the end of
term. If quiz questions are visible in student feedback, they will still
be visible. Change quiz results settings to hide questions.
Conferences – lets instructors use a webcam and microphone,
share their desktop, or use other presentation tools to communicate
with students.
Publish – makes course available to students. Students will not
have access until the date selected in the FWM and you publish the
course.
