- Drop Box

The Drop Box feature allows students to upload completed assignments for grading through their StudentVUE application. Assignments can be graded and given comments and notes through TeacherVUE.

- New Grade Book Content

Course Content includes all possible resources and content that a teacher provides for a class. Assignments and Content can both include rich Course Content. The Tools on the right-hand side of the Content creation page will enable you to add rich Course Content, as well as create a library collection of saved images, links, and documents.

Content is rich course information that does not expect a student score. Teachers can use Content to share study materials such as videos and documents. This area can also be used to share general class announcements about things like projects and field trips.

- New Grade Book Syllabus

Mousing over the Syllabus button displays four areas of the syllabus that teachers can edit: Contact Info, Class Policies, Grading Policies, and Course Description. Click on a syllabus area to create or edit only this section. These options also appear as tabs if you click on the Syllabus button.
