Gamification Module
The gamification module has seen significant upgrades, offering users a more engaging and intuitive experience as well as better accessibility and usability of its features. Users benefit from enhanced progress tracking, level indicators, and a comprehensive overview of their learning journey. A dedicated dashboard panel now displays experience tracks, while a separate badges panel shows all badges, including those in progress. Detailed progress information is accessible on individual badge details pages and the "My Experience" page, making it easier for users to monitor progress and stay motivated. These improvements aim to enhance tracking of accomplishments, increase learner engagement, and provide a more engaging user interface experience.
Booking Request Panel
Further configuration improvements can be found in the Booking Request Panel, which has been updated to offer greater flexibility and control. Administrators can now configure the 'course view' tab and decide which user attributes are shown, providing greater flexibility and control over the displayed information.
Academa Connector
The Academa Connector is another significant addition in this release. It allows course administrators to connect and configure Academa as a third-party content provider within the imc Learning Suite. The integration enables the addition of Academa content and automatic creation of media objects for courses, catalogues or channels. Additionally, Single Sign-On (SSO) facilitates a seamless connection between the imc Learning Suite and Academa, enriching the training offerings with diverse content.
Re-certification Module
The IP 14.21 completes the series of enhancements developed around the re-certification module, providing a streamlined and efficient re-certification process. With the previous IPs target group creation and course assignment processes had been enhanced and simplified. With this new release administrators can establish automatic course creation workflows within course templates. This feature enables the scheduling of specific times for new courses to be automatically generated, typically aligning with course recertification periods e.g. every 12 months, simplifying the creation of the entire recertification process. This, in turn, facilitates course creation and curation as well participants' management, reducing effort to oversee and create new courses for each recertification period. Furthermore, also overdue, failed and cancelled learners can be considered in the re-certification cycle. The correct status of the learners can be reflected by an automatic status change after the due date is reached.
Course Scheduling Notifications
Another relevant update relates to Course Scheduling Notifications. Administrators receive notifications of time conflicts when changing course start or end dates, preventing double bookings and optimizing scheduling. This feature also applies to courses created via the Easy Course Creation workflow.
Easy Uploading of Third-Party Content
The adding of third-party content, e.g. from Udemy, Pluralsight or Academa, is now available for administrators in the Channel administration and for content creators, such subject matter experts, via the Easy Media Upload functionality. This allows administrators to publish new content easily and gives learners access to third-party content within their Channels. The improvement ensures that content creators don’t need to navigate to other areas of the system to add third-party content, enabling them to stay in the workflow and populate Channels more effectively. Finally content import in "Channels" has been made more efficient. Content managers can now upload third-party party content and SCORM files via the "Easy Media Upload" directly from their computer.
