GitHub Education UI Redesign - Feedback

[samus-aran]

The purpose of this discussion is to collect feedback from our verified students on our updated GitHub Education platform User Interface (UI) design.

We're excited to roll out our redesigned GitHub Education platform. This overhaul marks a significant leap towards a more user-friendly, efficient, and engaging learning environment.

How to Access the GitHub Education UI Redesign:

Get verified as a learner on GitHub Education to gain access to the new GitHub Education platform - everything you need to pursue a career in tech.

What's New:

🚀Sleek Design: Our new UI boasts a modern and sleek design, aimed at enhancing usability and aesthetics. Whether you're browsing GitHub Education resources, checking assignments, or looking to connect with your peers, you'll find the experience smoother than ever.

🎨 Streamlined Navigation: We've reimagined the layout to ensure seamless navigation, making it easier for you to access essential features and resources. Say goodbye to cluttered menus!

I can't seem to find the page where to check my academic status and possibly proceed with a re-verification.

Regarding this, I think that this doc page is out of date:

• https://docs.github.com/en/education/explore-the-benefits-of-teaching-and-learning-with-github-education/github-global-campus-for-teachers/apply-to-github-global-campus-as-a-teacher#applying-to-github-global-campus

[ericdrosado]

👋 Hi @pattacini ! You can check your verification status and reverify at: https://education.github.com/discount_requests/application

We'll be sure to add a link to the application page in the navigation under the user avatar as well as update our documentation. Thank you!

[pattacini]

Great! Thanks heaps @ericdrosado!

[pattacini]

I can confirm that now the link to the benefits application page is showing up in the top right corner.

Thanks again @ericdrosado!

[theMackabu]

Great new redesign, but on mobile, clicking sign in sends you to a 404 😅

[theMackabu]

hm not every single time though, its only happened twice out of 10 tries

[ericdrosado]

Thanks for the information @theMackabu. We'll keep an eye on this.

[CASIOmax]

Pretty impressive redesign, I wasn't expecting it to be dropped soon, but overall the design is very smooth and eye catchy. I love it.

[aqib-m31]

Why isn't new design appearing on my devices?

[ericdrosado]

Hi @aqib-m31 !

We've looked into this issue, and you should now see the new UI after clearing your recent cache.

Please let us know if you have any additional issues.

Thank you for reporting!

[aqib-m31]

I can see the new UI now!
It's 😍!

[Sluckbla]

I am having the same issue, it's on only there school website github page.

[quosainhasan]

How can I turn on dark mode?

[ericdrosado]

👋 Hi @quosainhasan !

Unfortunately, we don't have a dark mode at this time. We'll certainly consider dark mode for a future iteration.

[Akash-Singh04]

Hey there! I can't seem to find the Octernships tab on Github Educations. Can someone help me out?

[ericdrosado]

👋 Hi @Akash-Singh04 - Thanks for your interest in GitHub Octernships. The program is currently on pause and we are not initiating new rounds or accepting new partners at this moment. We appreciate your understanding and support.

While trying dismissing the Notification. this throws a 403 error code - https://education.github.com/notification_dismissals?id=280

[ericdrosado]

Thanks for reporting this @riginoommen. I'll reach out to our engineering team to investigate.

[edmundmiller]

Also, getting a 502 Bad Gateway while trying to create a new assignment.

[riginoommen]

Even my assessments and update option is not working

[ericdrosado]

@riginoommen the 403 error has been fixed. Please let us know if you should see this error again. Thank you!

[riginoommen]

THis bug has fixed

[fzle]

Hey @edmundmiller you seem to be dealing with a Classroom related bug. Can you please create another discussion post with the name of the Classroom you are having trouble creating assignments in, and I'll try my best to get you sorted out.

[Brandon-Isaac]

Why is it that I finish the Communicating with markdown series and it doesnot update in my Github classroom

[ericdrosado]

Thanks for reporting @Brandon-Isaac. I'll inform our engineering team.

[Brandon-Isaac]

And why is the Github students pack taking that long for me to receive

[wpforest]

Hello, can get a help from here ? Half of a month ago , I recevie a mail which let me reverify my education certification ，but when I follow the steps which show in the mail --- explore the link https://education.github.com/benefits and click the "submit your information again." But when I click "submit your information again" , it always lead me into the link --- https://github.com/pricing , where I can't find the place which can let me submit the information . Is it a bug bring by this update ?

Currently the sync option throws the 404 error page

[malibb]

This doesn't work. I have the repo, but I always get a rejected message with an HTML stringified response.
