The Academic Toolbox helps you...
The tools in your Quercus Academic Toolbox can assist with your course delivery by Organizing Content, helping you Connect and communicate with your students, Assessing student work and providing feedback, and allowing you to Teach from a distance.
Typical Course Format?
Most tools in the Academic Toolbox can assist in both online and face-to-face courses. Many tools can provide benefits in either synchronous or asynchronous teaching. Some tools have been primarily designed for one format or another (synchronous/asynchronous), however, may be adapted for any format depending on your pedagogical goals.
To learn more about different teaching modalities, please consult our Online Teaching & Learning page, arrange a consultation with a CTSI Teaching Liason, or contact your Divisional support representative.

Auto-Save Feature
New Auto-Save Feature
For pages with one Rich Content Editor, the editor autosaves unsubmitted content for up to one hour in the case of internet connectivity loss or navigating away from the page. Upon returning to the page, you will be notified that there is autosaved content available.
Please note:
- Saved content is stored on your browser’s local storage, which means autosaved content can only be recovered when using the same browser on the same computer an hour within the last edit.
- You should continue to save your content frequently. Consider compiling your content outside of Quercus (such as a word processing software) before entering it in the Rich Content Editor.
