On Friday, July 31, 2009 Springboard! will be unavailable starting at 8:00AM as we upgrade to the newest Learning Environment version 8.4.2.
The system will once again be available on Saturday, August 1, 2009 at 8:00AM.
There are no major changes to Springboard! in this upgrade which would require additional training.
What’s New In Version 8.4.2?
- New default font setting for the HTML editor for Content (does not affect any other tool).
- New Dropbox submission options available to allow only one file per submission or unlimited file submissions. In addition, there are expanded submission options to keep all submissions, overwrite submissions, or allow only one submission.
- Common Cartridge standard for imports now supported in this version. Some publishers have started to create their course materials to follow this new Common Cartridge standard. It improves the import of publisher materials.
- Edit Course takes Instructors to a newly organized page of tools, organized by Category.
- Improvements to Look and Feel. These changes are mostly cosmetic and will not require additional end-user training.
If you have any questions or concerns about the upgrade, please contact Suzanne Testerman, Coordinator of Learning Management Systems at smt@uakron.edu.
