<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Though it seems like it was a lifetime ago, it was just four days ago when we all received an email from the Provost (below) regarding staying up-to-date in our D2L gradebooks.
The email suggested that we use Trellis Progress systems to help with timely student feedback and I, along with many of you, had never heard of Trellis Progress.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">At your request I have arranged for a training on Trellis Progress to be offered to all CALS faculty. Training will take place next Thursday (January 21) at 2:00 pm. The Zoom
link is below. Stefani Basij, of the UA Office of Student Success & Retention Innovation, will be conducting the training, and she supplied the following (with a link to more information):<o:p></o:p></span></p>

available to faculty through their D2L course pages to support students. This early reporting system allows instructors to provide both positive and constructive feedback to one or many students enrolled in a course. Feedback will be provided to students
as an email and is visible to student support staff (e.g. academic advisors) to ensure timely support for students. Please join us for a live demonstration of the tool.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">As we head into our third semester of online course delivery, I think that you will agree with me that tools like this are needed, and most welcome. If you cannot
join the training, it will be recorded and the link to the Zoom recording will be shared.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
