Three Bits of Information from TR
Over the summer, we created a powerful new set of tools for managing student and school accounts. You can access them by clicking on the “Userlist” button in the workBench, or by going to http:tf.trintuition.com/mypage and logging in. Even if you haven’t added students, you can see the data for your own account. In additing to being able to see, sort, and edit all kinds of information, the new tools enable you to access and open all student projects.
On the TR blog, there’s a new post about workBench projects as reading lists, logs, and reviews ( http://blog.trintuition.com/?p=143 ). If you’re interested in trying out one of the options, mention it in a comment or post here, and we’ll give you more details and any support you need.
To make getting started with the workBench as easy as possible, we’ve begun creating video tutorials. Nothing quite matches actualy seeing something done. It’s a new initiative for us, so we would appreciate any comments you might have about what’s helpful in the videos and what mght be improved.
If you have a moment, take a look at several. They’re at the top of the Canvas Tutorial menu page ( http:www.trintuition.com/tutorial/tools ). By Wednesday (10/8), we should have two more videos up about linking.

I just looked at several of the video tutorials and thought they were great! Being able to see where the tools were located and exactly what happened when you used them was extremely helpful. I plan to have students look at some of them, either as a class or individually, so that they can get a better idea of how to work with Workbench. I think the videos will be good as a reference resource and as a teaching tool.
Thank you so much for the feedback! We’re going to keep adding to the videos. There’s one almost done on linking from images and linking to outside websites.
If there’s one you think we need and should get to quickly, let me know.
