  2. Quicker Access to Course Materials: We have added a “recent” tab in the course materials section, which displays all recently accessed files, making it easier for students to quickly access important course materials.
  3. Calendar Syncing: We have improved calendar syncing with other devices so that any events or deadlines added to the app are automatically synced with your device's calendar.
