📊 Enhanced Reporting

In Fellow LMS, the section, step, and question reports now allow you to include optional member fields, giving you even more flexibility and insight.

In addition, we did some bug fixes and improvements to the user interface.

• In courses, the "Continue" button now remains disabled until the learner has checked the answers to all questions.

• You can now set hints for drag-and-drop questions, just like with multiple-choice questions.

• A layout issue in notification emails has been fixed.

• Some glossary terms with special characters it in would not be clickable.

• Retake attempt settings have been restored for SCORM courses.

• Calendar invite emails now support HTML body text.

• Deactivated members are now hidden in member pickers.

• After importing members, you can choose whether you would like to invite all selected members, or just the newly added members.

• We've restored the option to edit and delete meetings that occurred in the past.

Programs: You can now set up a custom notification message for when a new section becomes available.

Video player: The learner can no longer increase the playback speed of videos.

Member profiles: We have fixed a bug where the widget arrangement on the member profile page was not saved.

Search: We've introduced the option to enable anonymous users to search public information within your academy. If you're interested in activating this feature, please reach out to [email protected].

We’ve just released the following:

• The Page Editor has been improved. You can now edit the contents of text blocks without leaving the page. Just enter "Edit mode" and start typing.

• Utilize the new Flashcards content type to help your learners in self-training.

• We made improvements to enhance the appearance of Coursepath on your phone and tablet.

• Start pages have been renamed to Spaces. In the near future, there will be many more things you can do with a space. Stay tuned for updates...

In the past weeks we have released to following improvements:

Member import

Newly added members are now high-lighted in green on the confirmation pane. When importing a lot of members, you can now quickly see who’s new and who’s not. Hover over the names to reveal more detailed info about what’s going on:

Notifications

• Some links in the notification dropdown wouldn’t open the correct page.

• The notification dropdown now also includes alerts about new messages in discussions you follow.

• Improvements were made in the delivery of push notifications.

Various bug fixes

• Members: When exporting to Excel, some fields were not included in the spreadsheet.

• Groups: The total member counts in the group overview now exclude deactivated members as before.

• Glossary: In rare situations, some terms would not become clickable.

• Widgets: Not all categories would be visible when setting up content filters.

• Widgets: In some cases, staff members would not be able to edit widgets with no content.

• Search filter: An issue was resolved where it would not be possible to manually enter the date and time.

This week we’ve resolved some issues:

1. Course Menu: Auditors can now see the "Members" menu item, providing access to results and certificates.

2. Discussions: We've fixed the issue where the "New Topic" would be invisible for some users.

3. Media progress requirements: Auditors are now exempt from video or audio progress requirements, offering a smoother experience for content review.

4. Country Selector: Now, users can select from all countries worldwide, rather than only currently in-use countries.

Member profile page

We've overhauled the Member profile pages. There are now dedicated tabs for various info and settings:

• Profile: see the member's profile info, like company, address, custom fields, etc

• Participation (only shown when inside a course): see the learner's history, certificate, results.

• Assignments: see all roles/assignments of the member. If you have permission, then you can assign new groups, courses, programs, etc. You can also change the role of the member. 

• Account (for managers only): view and manage the user's Email/username, access code, external IDs, deactivation date, etc, etc.

Decentralized group and member management

There is new “advanced group permissions” feature, which (when enabled) features:

• Domain managers can delegate member management to "Group Managers" (as defined per group)

• Group managers can only create and modify members within their own group(s).

• Group managers can only view learning results of the members within their group(s).

• When setting the permission of a course, a group manager can only select (members of) his own groups. E.g. he cannot assign other groups/member to the course.

Please contact us to enable the advanced group permissions feature.

Course/ program settings

• There is now a dedicated “Permissions” tab where you can control the visibility and enrollment settings. The “Seat limit” field has moved to the “General” tab.

• On the “Permissions” tab you can now specify which Groups of members should be “automatically enrolled” in the course (or program). Previously, this had to be done by domain-level managers under Setup > Groups. 

Miscellaneous

• The Setup section now has crumb-style navigation

• Added support for images in WebP and HEIC format
