- Cloud+ - available now

WHAT: It specifically focuses on covering the newest concepts added to the CompTIA exam.
With new support for a Manual Due Dates Sync Option in your LMS, you can select specific, multiple or all assignments to sync due dates – no more manual date-changing on your end needed.
Instructors can also sync due dates even if there are no students enrolled in the course.

The new universal sidebar design offers a single navigation experience for all users, allowing them to more easily navigate their course materials in MindTap.

When you extend or remove due dates for assignments that have an active late policy applied, MindTap will now automatically recalculate grades to remove the late penalty on existing submissions. The late penalty will be applied on assignments submitted past an extended due date.
In any instance where you can extend or remove a due date, MindTap will alert you that taking this action will automatically remove the late-penalty deduction from existing assignment submissions.
This feature enables you to identify students who don t have access or are currently in the grace period in your MindTap course. Access this feature by opening the Progress App and selecting the Roster tab.
