The Missing Links
A big advantage of having your homework posted online is that it is easy to access all kinds of related resources, such as bulletins and file attachments. However, we left out a big one, the very foundation of the Web: links. Now teachers can add related links so students can read additional online resources. Students can find these links on the right-hand side of the course pages, right below bulletins and attachments.
Another requested teacher feature (hey, that rhymes) also implemented is the ability to specify an “end date” for bulletins. This way, the bulletin will automatically hide once that day has passed. If you would prefer the bulletin to exist indefinitely, then just leave that field blank when you are writing the bulletin.
Finally, the Teacher Control Panel has been revamped. The old one was getting really cramped with the addition of the links feature. I think teachers will find the new layout uses space more appropriately.
