<div class="newsContent">
<big>There's a new module available in TracCloud: Assessments</big><br>
Assessments allow you to create customizable questionnaires that can be used for a variety of purposes, from evaluating learning styles and study habits to exploring cognitive abilities. After completing the questionnaire, students receive personalized feedback and targeted support in areas where they may need improvement. Students and staff can generate a self-assessment from their dashboard with the new <b>Assessments</b> widget, or a link/QR code can be shared with them to initiate an assessment. The dashboard widget additionally allows the recipient to view their past results or edit their responses (if allowed by the assessment type). [[TracCloud:_Assessments|More documentation on this feature is available here!]]

<big>Allowing Staff to Book Appointments with Consultants</big><br>

TracCloud has a new feature, <b>Staff <-> Staff Scheduling</b>. This allows staff & consultants to have appointments with other consultants. When booking appointments on the schedule, a new {{#fas:user-tie}} button will be available beside the regular search {{#fas:magnifying-glass}} button. This new button will search staff instead of students, allowing you to book an appointment for a specific staff member. In the background, TracCloud automatically generates a linked student account for the consultant with a special "Staff" OtherStatus which will remain active for as long as the staff account is active. Additionally, any appointments booked for a consultant will also appear on their own schedule and will behave as a reserve block to prevent conflicting times. More documentation on this feature will be available soon.
