Fwd: Renegades this week

Hi Renegades,

A few upcoming opportunities to play water polo

1. Tomorrow night, Thursday 2/15, we are scrimmaging at CMU from 7-9 pm. 

2. We are hoping to enter a team in a tournament in Cleveland on April 13-14. https://clevelandwp.com/lake-erie-classic-2024  We need to make a decision by Friday, so let me know (either respond to this email or comment on our Facebook Page) if you can make it.  We will only enter a team if enough people can commit.

3. We are continuing to practice on Mondays at Oliver High School, 6:15 - 8:15 PM.  We'll do a structured swimming/water polo workout and perhaps a little scrimmaging if we get enough players.  If you are going to be late, call (don't text) coach Mark's cell phone, so that we can send someone up to open the door.  Sign up here https://renegades.4rs.org/sign-up-to-swim-on-monday-evenings-at-oliver-high-school/?fbclid=IwAR0IN-tFmkzLDDQQFG6s3-lpd8L1_QeP9GplhA1tGMiFvtl22wEmHRSEK5c

Uncanny Owl LearnDash News

We've been busy with LearnDash plugin updates!

Hi Mark, Uncanny Owl has had some big releases to extend LearnDash functionality over the last few weeks. We're excited to share some of the highlights below. Sell multiple LearnDash groups at once The Uncanny Groups 6.0 release added support for selling multiple groups in a single transaction, along with several features to support that model (including optional group name fields in product, cart and checkout pages). There's also new tax support for group products and a variety of accessibility improvements. Group Leader access to transcripts Uncanny Toolkit Pro 4.2 (paired with Uncany Groups 6.0) introduced a way for Group Leaders to access student transcripts from the Group Course report. There's also a new live timer tool for the Simple Course Timer that gives students a way to see their tracked total course time live on a page. New LearnDash Quiz report Tin Canny Reporting 4.4 added a new quiz report type that makes it easier to see which users haven't completed quizzes (like the lesson and topic completion reports) as well as a complete set of records for a specific quiz across all courses. Automation updates The Uncanny Automator 5.5 releases added several new features for LearnDash users, including a new recipe action to extend individual course enrollment dates and a new option to reset course timer data when course progress data is reset.  We hope you find the updates useful!
