What's new
Setting thresholds for grading scales
When creating or editing a grading scale template, authors and instructors can now specify the minimum passing grade. This ensures that LMS accurately indicates whether the course was completed successfully or failed.
Setting default view for data grids
An administrator can configure each individual table with data in LMS by hiding unnecessary columns and saving its state. This configured view becomes the default for users with other roles in the system, unless they decide to customize the view for themselves. Users can revert a table to the default view by pressing the Reset button.
Improvements and fixes
Interactive components (SCORM) versioning
We’ve introduced an option to update SCORM packages. Now enrolled learners who haven't started a SCORM activity can see its updated version. Those who have started it can reset their progress and choose between starting the new SCORM or continuing with the one they started. Completed activities are saved with a record about being finished. This allows learners to review either the original or the updated version.
Showing activity types in the activity widget
Each LTI activity displays its type in the widget. This ensures that learners understand the required action even if there is no title or description available. Additionally, we have renamed the main content libraries to ensure proper visibility of activity names.
Fixes
- Correct progress is now shown on a course card if the Never show results option was chosen in the Objective settings.
- The enrollment speed for large groups was improved.
- The link to the profile was fixed to ensure that learners are not directed to the management portal.
- The link to Rooms can now be disabled in the tenant settings.
- We fixed an issue where learners couldn't start an attempt to take an assignment when the total number of attempts was set to Unlimited.
- Compositions issues were fixed: the preview functionality is restored, and learners can now open files and access content correctly in compositions.
- Interactive components (SCORMs) can now be added correctly to categories. If they were published as an objective and completed, the issue with the Review option was resolved.
- Logout issues are fixed. Now users are correctly logged out of the system.
- Role descriptions were added to the Roles management interface.
- Email notifications have been updated for better compatibility with MS Outlook 365 and other mail clients.
- We resolved issues with landscape orientation PDF files and corrected the highlighting of the wrong page during scrolling inside the PDF viewer.
- When changing enrollment priorities, the row with priority arrows can no longer be moved.
