Qwickly is a set of enhancements to Blackboard that can help instructors speed up often time-consuming tasks.<br \/>\nFirst and foremost, the option of making your courses &#8220;available&#8221; has always been hard to find. Qwickly allows you to make your courses available\/unavailable on the main screen right after you login. You don&#8217;t have to visit individual courses! Just click the\u00a0off\/on\u00a0toggle next to each course to make available to your students.<br \/>\nQwickly also has the ability to e-mail all your classes at once, posting announcements to all classes at once, and even taking attendance right in Blackboard (yes, finally!).
