As of Fall 2008:

• Choices Explorer Guideways
  Our Guideways provide an accessible and comprehensive roadmap for getting the most out of Choices Explorer. Two brand-new Choices Explorer Guideways take students through our career exploration features and tools in a logical order. The Guideways track students' progress through the completion of each step and then direct them to the next one.

  You'll find the guideways on the front page of Choices Explorer.

• Course Plan Builder Enhancements
  You can now "lock" a student's four-year plan for improved reporting and tracking. We've enhanced our reporting features so you can monitor students' progress with greater accuracy.

  Additionally, you can use our expanded Notes field for better communication. And students now have the ability to create course plans for 7th and 8th grade, to add more depth to their plans.

• Portfolio Merging
  Ever noticed that some students create more than one portfolio? That can make it hard to monitor their progress. You can now merge multiple portfolios through the Professional Tools.

  Students can also merge their portfolios by clicking on the Merge Portfolios link on the main Portfolio page.

• Professional Account: Administrator Privileges
  We've increased the security of site administration. All Professional Accounts can still access the Reporter, Reviewer and Tracker features in order to monitor student progress. However, only those with Administrator privileges can perform administrative tasks for site management. These administrative tasks include customizing course plans, managing passwords, creating Professional Accounts or upgrading individual portfolios to Professional Accounts. To upgrade your Professional Account to include Administrator privileges, you'll need an Administrator Code. You can find the Administrator Code in your Welcome Letter. After you upgrade using your Administrator Code, you will not need to use the code again.

• New Content
  The world of work is constantly changing. We've added new articles on emerging careers, new education programs and trends in the labor market. In addition, we've updated many articles to give students the most current information possible.
