• The new dotEd Theme is now available for all users. This new theme has a cleaner look and a top menu navigation system.
• dotEd Calendar contains a wealth of Academic related dates for the Summer 10 and Fall 10 terms.
• Students can now access their new Google Based Inside eMail accounts directly from the My Menu.
• Students and Faculty can now access lynda.com and iTunes U directly from the Resources Menu.

Feedback on dotEd should be sent to: doted@artcenter.edu
