<p class="MsoNormal">We are excited to announce the release of a new Pearson LearningStudio Instructor &amp; Student Discussion/Threads interface which includes options to embed media, search within a discussion, and grade discussion posts from the discussion board.
 In response to feedback directly from faculty and students, threaded discussions have been overhauled to make for easier organization, searching, and sharing of content. Please view the attached user guide or visit the
