New Version of IMMEX

A new version of IMMEX is now available to the general public immediately at the time of this announcement. The IMMEX Research and Development team has been hard at work to bring some new features and enhancements to our users. The most notable feature is our new Digital Dashboard that will enable teachers to view an instant snapshot of how the students are progressing in each class. Other enhancements include improved performance, more flexible Staging, and even more robust security.
A handout is available to guide you in the use of the Digital Dashboard
