past site
After reading through all 17 screens of suggestions I am astonished of how many instructors are asking for features that are already in the old site. Did anyone think to ask us what we wanted or needed?
Why could not all the features of the old site not be ported over. If they were good there they surely would be wanted or needed in the new site.

Brian,
Great question. The answer is that our goal was not to recreate the old system. From a program perspective we needed increased flexibility and a better cost structure. Establishing a modular platform into which “off the shelf” products could be integrated delivers those benefits. The result is very different from the old system and we know changes is difficult. For that reason, we continue to work to improve the user experience (look for improved assessment activation next week) and the help and support materials.
Again, our apologies for your frustration.
