Tassl 2.0 is now up and running! Looking back, Tassl 1.0 originally was a basic tool you could use to organize your class schedule, using the real data from your university. Tassl 2.0 completes the foundation for the vision of providing an end to end tool students can use throughout the semester to simplify college life.
What brings it all together? The
School Feed. Like the Facebook News Feed, the Tassl School Feed keeps you up to date with what is going on within Tassl. It lets you know when assignments or exams are posted, and when discussions are taking place. In addition, unlike the normal Facebook News Feed, the Tassl School Feed tells you what's happening in the
future, by reminding you of upcoming assignments and exams.
The School Feed will grow into the one place you can turn to in order to manage your college life on Tassl. (You can get to the school feed by moving your mouse to the left side of Tassl, and clicking on the "School Feed" slider!)
Information from the School Feed can also show up on your Facebook News Feed!
By choosing to publish School Feed stories into your News Feed, you can help spread Tassl throughout your class. The more people in your classes who use Tassl, the more likely your course will contain up-to-date information about assignments and exams.
A common complaint with Facebook apps is that they expose too much information over the News Feed. So, Tassl 2.0 includes controls to allow you to filter specifically which stories you want to publish, both to your School Feed, and your News Feed. Simply click "Change your Settings" at the top of Tassl:
The School Feed completes the circle of functionality for the initial rollout of Tassl: you can now schedule your classes using accurate information from the
real course roster, post assignments and exams, and be kept "in the loop" about what others are posting within your classes.
