        <p>Spring has sprung, and with the change of seasons comes another big change in the Personalized Learning Squared ecosystem. You will see an all new side of the same PL&sup2; you know and love, including the introduction of the lessons feature and the reorganization of different PL2 services into their own individual solutions. </p>
        <p>All training and professional development features will be classified under the PL2 Training solution. We have released the highly anticipated 'Lessons' feature, which will provide tutors and teachers with short (~15 mins), interactive e-learning experiences that they can do at their own pace. Mentor-facing resources can now be found under the 'Strategies' section of the app.</p>
        <p>The PLUS data-driven student dashboard and personalized resource assistant will now be called the PL2 Toolkit solution line. </p>
        <p>All strategies and resources in the app have been re-organized according to our new research-driven SMART competencies system. </p>
        <p>These changes are now visible in the app and will provide an all new experience for tutors to be able to easily access the features they need. </p>
        <p>Read on below for more details on the individual updates!</p>
