Fun New Features in DesignPLUS

The October release of DesignPLUS includes some fun new features which Kenneth added as a result of your feedback!  DesignPLUS

The ability to duplicate content blocks and create new links to Canvas content expand the list of time-saving features in DesignPLUS.

Key Action Items

 

A new Key Action Items tool provides a way to create tasks and instructions specific to Canvas content which are only visible to those who are editing content.  

This tool makes it easy to highlight course design actions that need to be completed, and embed helpful tips specific to each of those tasks. 

Users can mark action items complete as they go, making it easy to keep track of what they have left to do.  

For more information about the October release, be sure to read the Release Notes in the DesignPLUS Admin Guide.
