SoftChalk logo

This month, SoftChalk unveiled their new website and the content authoring tool you love with a refreshed brand identity. Over the last month, they have poured their hearts and souls into creating a new image that would accurately depict who they are, at our core as a team.

This change did not affect the usability of this tool, just the look and feel of the program and their SoftChalk website.

If you are interested in seeing SoftChalk’s new look and considering using this tool in the upcoming semester, consider scheduling a consultation with your SOE ITC’s and/or requesting access to our SOE SoftChalk account.

TODAY, Friday, July 8, 2022, Information Technology Services (ITS) will begin modifying some Box and Google Workspace accounts to better manage licensing and storage capacity according to our data-retention requirements.

When an account is deprovisioned, data owned by the account is deleted. To ensure business continuity, UNCG users are encouraged to review the Box and Google Drive data they use to determine if the data is owned by an account that is scheduled for deprovisioning. If it is, users should request a data-ownership transfer to retain the data and access to it.
