E3 made several improvements to its tools and website at the start of spring quarter. Many of the enhancements have come as a direct result of faculty comments and suggestions.
The new “Toolbox” link off the main site gives instructors the ability to access any particular tool directly without having to login through the main site.
An “Edit” feature has been added to SiteManager. Now it is possible to edit the HTML code of any course web page directly on SiteManager. All changes will take place immediately after they are submitted on SiteManager.
New features have been added to Gradebook, making it more versatile and easier to use. Gradebook now supports multiple gradebooks for a given course on a single web page. The Gradebook feature can also be used without having to create a course website.
Instructors who access their WebRosters are now able to view not just enrolled students, but also extension students (UCI Access students) and students on the WaitList.
Noteboard is now available for use for every class without requesting a web page. All users can now specify if their posted message is a question, solution, urgent, or class information.
Instructors can now view and configure the mailing list options for all their courses on one screen. It is no longer necessary to log in and log out repeatedly to manage multiple courses, as all the courses are listed and accessible on one page. Changes to mailing list options will continue to take place the following morning.
