What’s Different

What’s New Collaborations - web-based tools (like Google Docs) that allows

users to work collaboratively on tasks like group papers or note-taking.

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.
