A More Modern User Interface and Navigation
The Summer 2024 update to Oxford Insight brings a more visually appealing user interface that aligns with more modern web applications. This refreshed look also will improve the overall user experience and provide a more seamless way for students to engage with course content and instructors to more easily access robust reporting and course management tools.
Key features of the new user interface and navigation include:
- All tools and buttons have been consolidated into a new left-hand navigation sidebar, freeing up vertical space and centralizing all controls.
- The sidebar and tab bar can be collapsed to maximize screen space for the content.
- The streamlined navigation controls improve the usability of the tabbed layout in the sections of each chapter of the eBook.
Student View: Course Content
Instructor View: Dashboard
- A new student dashboard brings forward the elements most important to them, including assignments due, current grade, messages from their instructor, and the course table of contents.
- A new instructor dashboard spotlights key information and makes it immediately available upon login, including the calendar view of assignments and due dates, assignments that need grading, and a course performance snapshot.
