Release 100

Overview

In Release 100, we've introduced the following new feature:

  • Signing in with Google profile

Additionally, we have implemented significant improvements to the composition editor to better accommodate compositions with complex structures. We’ve added new options to further improve scheduling, and included several fixes and improvements to enhance overall user experience.

What's new

Signing in with Google profile

In tenants where self-registration is enabled, users can have an option to sign up and sign in with their Google accounts. This saves users the time they previously spent selecting an email and creating a password to access our platform.

Improvements and fixes

Improvements

  • Synchronizing properties between tools and activities in the LMS: Now, when names, codes, descriptions and cover images are changed in external tools, this information is synced with activities in the LMS.
  • Scheduling activities in a course: A new option was introduced. It is now possible to create course schedules for entire terms (semesters) but also to customize and personalized schedules and time constraints for course activities for selected units, groups or even individuals.
  • Composition editor: It’s now possible to publish a composition as an objective right from the composition editor. Content authors can publish a composition as an objective as soon as they finish editing it and make it ready for publishing using the Publish button (which starts the publishing wizard).

All published objectives can be edited in the composition editor using the Edit button located in the content preview section of the objective.

All compositions, that are published as objectives have a link to the objective right from the composition editor. All these improvements should enhance the transparency of the relationship between a composite objective and a composition activity.

  • Reports for Certificates: if an objective has several certificates assigned to a learner, it is still shown as one entity in the Primary Reports / Completed or Primary Reports / Finished section. We have added a column stating the total number of certificates awarded to a user. Clicking on that number opens a sub-report where all certificates for a given user and objective are shown.

For the Custom reports builder, each certificate is shown as a separate line. To hide duplicates, the Certificates section should be removed completely using the column selector. In this case, the report excludes all certificate data.

  • We’ve added SAML as a new method to sign into the system. Now we support SAML20 for the SSO. Thus, administrators can manage users when our platform is running on custom domains as a part of their corporate infrastructure.
  • Finish the course option is now always visible in the header of the page. If not all mandatory activities are completed, the finish button shows a lock and after having pressed it, user can get the information about mandatory activities that are not finished so user can click on a link to go straight to these items and finish them. If all mandatory activities are finished, but there some attempts to improve the course score are present, pressing the finish button will show the pop up with information about all activities that can be re-taken so that the overall result of the course can be improved. If user prefers to finish the course with current results it also can be done.
  • SCORM player: We have redesigned how compatibility options are presented for SCORM. A new tab for the Close and Submit buttons is added for the cases when SCORM does not support the buttons naturally. The tab can be repositioned on the screen. The embedded mode is also redesigned to enhance usability.

  • Fixed an issue when some LTI activities could not be opened from the composition.
  • User with Instructor + TeamContributor can no more edit activity not related to the team scope.
  • “Improve results” popup is no more shown in finished objectives.
  • Records for users who have completed the activities but didn’t have these activities marked in reports as passed have been fixed with correct values.
  • Reports show correct data for courses that have been completed, but are now being retaken.
  • When the course is “In manual grading”, there is not “result” word shown in My courses for users.
