App Design
The entire app has been updated with enhanced design and small changes to the user experience. Features in the app focus specifically on user content and workflow.
Course Grades
Grades show at the bottom of a course card. Students can choose to hide overall grades in the Courses page overflow icon. New courses display grades as 0%.
Grades are not supported for instructors, so grades will always display as 0%.
User Navigation Course Access
The User Navigation menu includes links to favorite courses. Quickly switch between courses in any area of the app.
To Do and Notifications
The To Do list and Notifications pages have been redesigned for content emphasis. Users can manage each item by tapping and holding an item; notifications can be deleted and to-do items can be marked as done.
Discussion Pins
When viewing a discussion, instructors can pin the discussion. Pinned discussions appear at the top of the Discussions page.
