How to use the new ACE system

[ashkir]

Thank you for the Aleks email! I contacted them now.

I am really liking the Acclaim Transcript system. Much better then ACE's, once you have your badges!

I very much dislike the Acclaim system. The badges look very disorganized and cluttered and there's no way to see on your dashboard when you actually earned a given badge. I do like that you can at least sort by name or supposed earn-date but I would still prefer to have the old system back.

I agree, it's cluttered.  There's no way to change it to list view, so it's going to get very cumbersome for a lot of people.  As for seeing the date when you passed, it's on there at the top when you click on each individual course, and it's on the transcript (I sent one to myself).

For the transcript, it's a hot mess.  For instance, I have 3 courses from ALEKS.  They all have an ACE/ALEKS badge, and then a generic ACE badge.  Why does each course need 2 badges??  Get rid of the generic one when you have a non-generic one.  Then consolidate the info so that it's not so big.  I only have 6 courses on there so far, and the transcript is 3 pages long.  You should definitely be able to fit more than 2 courses on a page.  How about 1 badge for each provider only, and then you can get each course for that provider underneath.  Then 1 page per provider maybe?  And do the badges need to be so large?  They could make them MUCH smaller and still get the job done.

I just don't love this system, it's cumbersome, it's cluttered, it does not look professional.

lol. Sophia accidently added one badge twice and my university gave me 3 to fulfill the requirement + 3 as an elective
