Users of Learning Edge! We have an exciting new addition to the family!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ok, so it might not be the most exciting thing for some, but we will shortly be switching on a fantastic new tool within Learning Edge to help make your academic communication easier between staff and students.<\/p>\n

Qwickly<\/a> is a tool used to streamline some of those monotonous processes that we\u2019ve heard have been grinding the gears of Learning Edge instructors for sometime…<\/p>\n

So what does it do exactly?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, this is the good bit\u2026 You know all those times that you have to go into each course or module, one at a time, and sometimes create the same announcement? Well, no longer! Qwickly<\/a> allows you to create one announcement and send it to multiple courses in one click! \u00a0Qwickly<\/a> knows which courses and modules you\u2019re enrolled in and will allow you to select it from a list, create your announcement and send – It\u2019s that easy!<\/p>\n

\"Qwickly2\"<\/p>\n

But wait! That\u2019s not all!<\/strong><\/p>\n

That annoying quirk of trying to remember which course or modules you\u2019ve released to students? Yes! It\u2019s now even easier to do a quick check of which one\u2019s are available and which one\u2019s aren\u2019t and with the click of a button release it to students.<\/p>\n

And finally!<\/strong><\/p>\n

You will also be able to send an email to students in multiple courses or modules in the same way as the announcements – super quick for those urgent moments.<\/p>\n

So is that it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not quite\u2026 Additionally, you can \u2018qwickly\u2019 see how many papers you have still to mark and also customise the tools that you want to see in the control panel, so if you\u2019re not interested in the email function just remove it from the Qwickly<\/a> list.<\/p>\n

\"Qwickly\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wow! I can\u2019t wait! So when can we have it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Monday 9th February Qwickly<\/a> will be launched to all members of staff using Learning Edge. \u00a0You\u2019ll be able to see the panel at the bottom of your course list on the Home tab. \u00a0Sorry it\u2019s all the way down there\u00a0but we didn’t want it to interfere with any other panels that you can see in the 1st and 3rd columns of your Learning Edge Home tab.<\/p>\n

An important note:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please use this tool responsibly! Please remember that whatever you do has an instant effect. \u00a0If you send an announcement, all those students will receive it instantly, this is the same with email. \u00a0Once it\u2019s been sent we cannot retrieve it! So please don\u2019t come crying if you send it to the wrong students.<\/p>\n

Remember!<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Just because you can \u2018qwickly\u2019 communicate, doesn\u2019t mean you always should. Before hitting send, ask yourself if an announcement or email is the right way to communicate your message!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Equally, if you \u2018test\u2019 the availability button, your students will instantly lose access to that course\u2026 so please don\u2019t play with the tools unless you know you definitely want a course released (or hidden!)<\/p>\n

If you want to see some previews of Qwickly<\/a> or would like to learn more take a look at these help videos<\/a> <\/span>to get a flavour of how easy it is to use. \u00a0You can also find out more information in the FAQ area<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

*Hot hint*<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t want to scroll down a massively long list of courses to get to the Qwickly panel<\/a>, do you know about tidying up your course list? You can access the guide on how to do this here<\/a><\/span> or watch a video about it here<\/a>.<\/span> You can also eliminate seeing the list of instructors should you wish, which saves vital pixel space on the page!<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re feeling really kind, you might want to let your students know about the course list tidying up – it probably annoys them still seeing their 1st year modules when they\u2019re nearing the end of 3rd year as much as it annoys you!<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s it! We\u2019re looking forward to switching this tool on and hope you\u2019re looking forward to it too. \u00a0Get in touch with LTD<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>if you would like any further details. \u00a0We\u2019re more than happy to answer any queries you may have.<\/p>\n
