Simmons moved to the new version of eLearning tools during the holiday break. At first it was a pretty confusing migration. Course tools have new names and icons. Authoring tools are moved around to where they didn't seem that they should be. However, after plugging away for a while and attending a quick one-hour PTRC workshop, I find I really love the new version.
Tool actually are where they should be and they work better! I find the more I work with the new version, the better I like it.
Keep on!

I've recently learned about car companies with special offers to recent graduates. For example, Nissan offered $500 cash back if you bought or leased a new Nissan from a select group of vehicles like the Altima, Rogue, Versa, etc and were a recent graduate.

If you can't buy a car right away, they give you 2 years to save and still get the deal.
Other companies have similar offers. Volvo offers special financing for those graduating in 3 months or 24 m ... more »
