‘Assign All Concepts’ - New Feature for Credit Recovery


Acellus has added a new feature to its Credit Recovery Mode. Until now, teachers could mark which concepts they wanted a struggling student to study as part of the credit recovery process, targeting just those concepts the student missed. 

However, sometimes students need to see all the concepts. The ‘Assign All Concepts’ feature gives teachers that option plus a quick way to implement it. 

See details about the ‘Assign All Concepts’ feature on my Acellus Blog for Educators.

New Acellus Feature - School Seat Time Report

As part of our efforts to leverage Acellus teachers and administrators, we’ve added a new feature that allows them to generate a Student Seat Time Report for the entire school. 

Until now, Acellus was keeping track of the time individual students spent on their courses, but this information was difficult for them to gather into a report that could help administrators assess Acellus usage school-wide.
