Learning Center Gets New Look and New Features

March 27, 2014

The Learning Center just received a major update. Here’s a quick summary of what’s new:

  1. New Design: Suited to tablets, smartphones, and traditional computers, the new responsive design allows for easier navigation on touch screens. If you are using one now, you can see the difference!

  2. Shortcut Icons: As part of the new design, the homepage now features shortcut icons for frequently used features. You’ll see them as soon as you dismiss this message. Note: the old Orientation and Account Setup buttons are hidden but can be accessed any time by clicking the “Start-Up Tools” icon.

  3. Vocabulary Plus: The public BETA for Vocabulary Plus has been extended until June 2014. This means you and your students can use it for free right now! Vocabulary Plus is a complete digital alternative to our acclaimed Vocabulary Series. It can be added to classes just like other books in the Learning Center. Try it out!

  4. eBooks: Your instructor account now gives you access to eBooks of titles you’ve assigned to students. You can access your eBooks under the Materials link. Note: some titles are not yet available.

We hope you enjoy these changes. More are on the way! Please tell us what you think by e-mailing us at editors@townsendpress.com. We hope to hear from you!
