Updates and New Features

A number of new enhancements are in the works for the Learning Center.  In the meantime, here are recent developments you can use in your classes today: 

• New PowerPoints Are Available! For the first time ever, PowerPoints now cover the four phonics chapters of Groundwork for College Reading Skills with Phonics. Download them by clicking the Materials tab and choosing Supplements.

• The Learning Center Is Now Compatible with D2L / Brightspace!  Harnessing LTI 1.3, this new feature allows D2L users to have single sign-on (SSO) and automatic gradebook posting in the Learning Center. Get details here. Setup requires coordination between Townsend Press and your D2L / Brightspace administrator. Email us here if you have questions. 

• A Progress Bar Has Been Added to All Assignments. Students can now see at a glance how many items they've completed AND how many remain for each activity. This progress bar is located just below the assignment title. Hovering or "mousing" over it reveals progress details. 

• Teachers Can Now Copy Dates and Assignments From One Class to Another. This feature will simplify class setup for teachers who wish to apply existing course content to another class. 

Again more innovations are coming! Stay tuned for details. In the meantime, we invite you to email our support team if you have questions or would like more information.

Thank you for choosing the Townsend Press Learning Center for your classes!
