Today we released a couple of new features.

• “Who is on-line” indicator: Now you can see who has logged in to Ecto. The indicator is on your friends list and in the members list in your groups. You can also see which one of your members is actually working in the group as well.
• Usage tracking: As a group owner you can collect usage information from your members. If you include a learning page in your tracking (you can turn tracking on and off on the learning page, just like you include a page in the grade book) you can see the first time the student visited the page, the last time they did and how many times in total they were there.
• Manage messaging: As a group owner you can now turn off the messaging function for your students for the duration of your class. The messaging capability resumes once the time limit expires, you turn it back on or you log off from the system.

Let us know how these features work for you!
