Of course, this does mean the inevitable "c-word." Change.
I have practically no shades of grey in my character, so my typical reaction to change tends to be either, "Well, it's about TIME!" or "Oh NO!" I got a sneak preview of the redesign and I must say that my reaction was an enthusiastic fist-pump with a "YES!" Here's why...
The redesign addresses teacher and student needs in terms of less clicks, more opportunities for user personalization of the interface, and stronger search options. Filtering, labeling, and file storage is tidier and more of a one-stop-shop in each user's Drive. Trust me, you will love it! This streamlined approach makes using My Big Campus an even more efficient way to deliver content, grade, and collaborate on class activities. With increased flexibility and improved organizational tools, getting your classroom and students into the digital age will be even more exciting and intuitive.
Still nervous? Never fear! As always, Bob has got your back! Be on the lookout for upcoming webinars and training modules to walk you through the new layout. Check back on the MBC Trainers page for the latest information as it becomes available.
Change can be scary, but when it is derived from a need to better serve teachers and students, it is certainly a good thing...and when change results in improved student retention and teacher efficiency, it is an amazing thing!
Happy changes, all! *fist-pump*
