Starting on August 22, 2018 you’ll notice a new look and feel for SLATE. A cleaner interface, new fonts, updated icons and some new workflows mean that all your course sections will look more polished and modern than ever, automatically!
The new user interface, called the Daylight Experience, was built with a responsive design. This means that it adapts to different screen sizes and looks great on laptops, tablets and smartphones. You’ll find it much easier to stay connected and access the system from anywhere.
New fonts, icons and an updated layout will make it easier for you to go in and get right to the content that you are interested in. All of your courses will adopt this new look and feel automatically, providing you with a consistent experience when accessing different courses.
The most significant change is the SLATE interface and you can now see a
