We have several new updates to iCollege, Webex, and VoiceThread! Some of these are already available, and others will be available starting Friday, May 27th. See below for details, and please contact help@gsu.edu if you encounter any problems or have questions.
iCollege – Available May 27th
Brightspace Pulse App - @Mention Push Notifications
Instructors can now use @mention push notifications in discussions to direct a message to students using Pulse. Originally users had to open Pulse and view their notifications in the Subscriptions tab, but the latest version of Pulse allows push notifications.

Brightspace Pulse App - Updates and Subscriptions
The Updates and Subscriptions tab is now aligned to show the same items as the Alert Bell in iCollege. Improved logic in how alerts are sent to Pulse ensures that alerts are no longer sent from courses that are inactive or past their end date.
Additional information on using Brightspace Pulse can be found in the following Knowledge Base Articles:
