Catch up on all the latest and greatest iGrad features and product developments from the last few releases of Fall 2013...
All New Job Genius: Job Search & Resume Analyzer
We completely redesigned the iGrad Job Genius from the ground up with the goals of making our job search and resume analyzer tools easier to use, more powerful, and better integrated with iGrad’s other career content and resources. Career development is central to iGrad’s holistic financial literacy approach and we’re excited to continue to fine tune Job Genius in the releases to come, as well as add some exciting new career resources to the iGrad Platform! Career services teams at iGrad partner schools can leverage insightful career analytics derived from student usage in iGrad’s reporting console to be better informed about and better serve their students based on their career needs.
Here’s the highlights from the new Job Genius:
ALL NEW SEARCH UI
IMPROVED UI FOR ADDING/REMOVING JOBS FROM ANALYZER
CAREER TIPS/QUOTES ADDED TO ANALYZER
ALL NEW JOB GENIUS ANALYZER UI
New Student Loan Upload & Loan Summary Tools
Our partners who utilize iGrad’s federally compliant, video-based Exit Counseling Course already know about our awesome Loan Upload tool. The user feedback from our loan upload feature has been amazing: although it’s an optional feature, 91.5% of users going through our Exit Counseling Course use the tool to automatically synch their federal loans, by dragging and dropping their NSLDS MyStudentData file directly to the tool.
We’ve moved this tool to every user’s iGrad profile settings. Now all users can easily synch their student loans with iGrad. We will be developing many complementary features that will offer students helpful tools and reminders related to their loans, as well as new reports available in iGrad’s administrator console. In tandem with the new loan upload tool, we’ve launched a feature to add a user’s total student loan balance and servicer information to every page of their iGrad profile. We will be making this a more expansive and user-friendly widget in the weeks to come!

Improved Module Navigation
We’re constantly working on our module platform to ensure it’s the best available. We’ve improved the module step panel to be easier and more intuitive for users moving between module steps, including back button navigation, direct navigation to a step via the step panel, and visual indicators for which steps have been completed.
New App Error & 404 Pages
We’ve got brand new error pages (for the rare circumstance when a user may get an error or may receive a bad link) that are friendly, integrated with the site, and provide direct assistance for the issue the user is encountering.
Post-Test Randomization Now Live For All Modules
We recently rolled out randomization UI for our Entrance & Exit Counseling Course modules, which you can recap here. This feature is now live for all financial literacy course and custom modules.
