Smarter support for students: exciting new updates in Global Tasks and Scholarcy for DSA
At Everway (formerly Texthelp), we’ve been listening closely to student and assessor feedback. This week, we’re delighted to introduce a powerful new update to Global Tasks: Timetable Integration, making it easier than ever to sync study plans with personal calendars, stay on top of deadlines and keep life organised.
And that’s not all, Scholarcy now has a fresh new look, with smarter navigation, streamlined workflows, and handy new ways to keep research organised, helping students focus more on learning and less on admin.
Timetable integration in Global Tasks: A new way to stay organised
The new calendar integration in Global Tasks allows students to sync their university or college timetable directly into the tool – removing the need for manual entry and creating a more connected, stress-free way to manage studies alongside life
We know that balancing academic schedules with everyday responsibilities can be tough. Missed deadlines, last-minute stress, and a constant feeling of being behind are common challenges. With Timetable Integration, students can now see academic schedules and personal tasks side by side, helping them stay organised and in control.
What’s new in Global Tasks?
- No manual entry of classes or lectures
- Automatic updates when timetables change
- A clear view of time available for assignments, revision, and personal life
- Reduced cognitive load, especially for students with executive functioning difficulties
- Add tasks to calendar entries: Easily click and drag a task from your projects into your calendar, or add a new or existing task to a specific event.
Unlike general productivity apps, Global Tasks has been purpose-built for the DSA and accessibility context, putting student success at the heart of every feature. This means that the Timetable Integration is not just functional, but also designed to be intuitive and stress-free, so students can focus on what matters most: learning and thriving.
Scholarcy: a smarter, more streamlined research experience
We’ve also made big changes to Scholarcy, with a fresh look, smarter navigation, and more efficient ways to organise research. It’s now even easier for students to get to the heart of their reading, fast.
