When I first saw the new My Courses widget with Daylight, I had very mixed feelings. Yes, it added some much needed color and images to the front page of D2L. However, with those tiles came some substantial drawbacks. The loss of the list, the ability to filter and put the tiles in custom order … Continue reading My Courses and the Waffle

This morning, I had a faculty member point out that Pearson has changed their MyLabs and Mastery widget. The old one was green. The new one is much more muted and smaller. This does not change any functionality.
