February 13th, 2015 – Release Notes

New SIMnet Content & Features

Gradebook

Some assignment submissions were being incorrectly flagged as submitted late. We had an issue related to timezone conversions that has been fixed. All submissions were reviewed and the late submission flag was adjusted where appropriate.
