Functional Improvements

We're constantly improving the system functions of CompClass to make it easier for you to use. This semester we're happy to debut the following changes that will make you and your students' lives easier.

• The Writing Tab comment library has been extended to discussion forums so that instructors can apply previously saved comments to discussion posts.
• Instructors can now add multiple items at the same time to multi-part lessons, rather than one at a time.

CompClass for Joining the Conversation

This version of CompClass is built for Joining the Conversation. While students may know how to send text messages, search for images, and read the news online all at the same time, they don't necessarily know how to juggle the skills they need to engage readers and compose a meaningful contribution to an academic conversation. Meeting students where they are — working online and collaboratively — Joining the Conversation embraces the new realities of writing, without sacrificing the support that students need as they write for college and beyond.
