Building on the Grades – Copy grade items only copies unique or in-use grade schemes | Updated feature released in the July 2022 update, this update performs a one-time deletion of all unused or duplicate grade schemes, leaving only unique grade schemes. This ensures increased performance during grade scheme copies and reduces errors when attempting to access grade schemes in existing org units where a large number of grade schemes exist.
Instructors may see their lists of grade schemes reduced as part of the release
OERs (Open Educational Resources) are not just books. They can be any educational material for teaching, learning, and research that are “intentionally created and licensed at low cost/no cost for the end user to own, share, and in most cases, modify” (Creating Killer OERs).

This scenario-based professional-development session is designed to help faculty and staff be more “trauma informed” and help us to recognize the signs of trauma. In this session, participants will better understand the impact of traumatic experiences on students, look at the impact of trauma on the brain, share best practices for working with students, review myths and facts about trauma experiences, and have interactive discussions on applicable scenarios.
