Good morning Rotman!
We're excited to announce that a new and widely-requested Quercus feature has been released: Speedgrader comment libraries. User-generated comments can be added to Speedgrader across students, assignments, and courses making grading much more efficient. Once library comments are inserted they can be customized for individual students, as needed. More information on how comment libraries work is below.
You may also want to try NameDrop. This is especially useful for people whose names are mispronounced regularly. See below for more information on how to record an audio clip of your name and how to link to it on your course page and email signature.
We would also like to remind you one final time about the upcoming June 30th deadline to download any Blackboard Collaborate recordings that you would like to keep. All recordings made prior to May 1, 2021 will be purged after June 30th. Instructions on how to download your recordings are here. An similar announcement pertaining to Zoom recordings is coming soon. Watch this space!
