- Students can stay on target with deadlines with an improved Timeline on the dashboard

- There will be easier transitions between course sections and the completion status for activities in the Course Index

- Improved accessibility options

 

What is not changing?

- Access to the site using ones Microsoft Office 365 credentials will remain the same

- Current course enrolments and permissions will not be affected

- There will only be minor changes to the course activities and content layout 

 

How will this change impact you?

Faculty and students will have a new dashboard with some improved course management options. The upgraded platform will also be more mobile/touch-screen friendly.

 

Why is this change taking place?

As part of the One-UWI vision, all campuses are working together to have a consistent user experience across the University. The other campuses will be performing similar upgrades in time for the new academic year 2023/2024.
