On 14th December we made changes to the Atto Editor in QMplus in order to improve and bring it in line with the University’s accessibility drive in the use of technology.
The issues identified which the updates sought to address included problems with menu scrolling, freezing, issues with features in full screen, features becoming outdated and more. Further details of the context of this update and issues fixed and updated can be found on the TELT website.
