August 2020 brought with it several improvements to Scholar that will affect the workflow of nearly everyone using it. The assignment grading tool has changed, the content editor has had a much-needed update, and we've moved the photo roster to within Qwickly Attendance. Additionally, Blackboard Collaborate and TurningPoint have received minor updates. Academic Technologies strongly recommends you attend a What's New session to get the details on all of these changes.
Assumptions
All faculty that use Scholar should participate in this session, as it contains important information about workflow changes to Scholar
