Select 'Set as Template Section for LMS.'

The Critical Thinking Assignment has replaced the former Power of Process assignment in Connect for a more accessible and user-friendly experience. Instructors no longer see Power of Process assignments in their section and students are unable to access Power of Process assignments previously assigned.
Titles with AI Reader incorporated into their Connect eBook will now see the option to change the feature status (on/off) in the Course Materials Widget of the Section Dashboard, aligned with the eBooks available. Instructors can select a toggle for specific resources within the course, rather than a generalized button to enable or disable.
The ability to see the AI Reader status will now also be displayed directly in-line with the title of the eBook, resulting in more visibility to the instructor.
The troubleshooting page on Connect has been updated to reflect our current system requirements. This page is helpful for both students and instructors during setup of Connect on their devices.
On the LTIA grade sync page, accessible via the LTIA widget in the LMS, instructors can now see an 'Awaiting grading' icon that indicates a learner’s submission requires grading by the instructor.
Auto-submitted blank drafts have been removed from Writing Assignment’s Peer Review functionality. This ensures students are not prompted to do a peer review on a blank assignment.
