“The updated student dashboard shows students their activities, their assignments, what they’ve completed, what's due today, and what’s coming up - it’s much easier for students to navigate,” Beerer said in an interview with THE Journal. The students’ user experience has also been updated and simplified, in an effort to remove barriers for students doing homework on smartphones and to drive better student engagement, she said. “Teachers have had a really rough time, and we are hoping to make this easier for them.” “We have made a lot of small changes that add up to a big increase in ease of use,” Discovery Education Senior Vice President Karen Beerer told THE Journal.
