Redesigned media pages, moderated channels, and expanded platform APIs

Every media page in the imc Learning Suite has been redesigned, covering roughly thirty content types from multimedia files and SCORM packages through to LTI tools, virtual classroom sessions and on-the-job training. The changes apply wherever a learner opens a media page, whether through a course, a catalogue or the bookshelf.

A new playlist component gives a clearer overview of what a course contains, progress tracking is easier to follow, and navigation within a course is more direct. The implementation moves to React, which strengthens security alongside the visual change.

Nothing switches automatically. Administrators enable the new pages through a checkbox in the Design function, so the experience can be tested on one design before the live design changes.

ReviewGuard introduces a Manage reviews area in the Channel Manager where administrators can hide inadmissible comments, with a column flagging new reviews awaiting a decision. An optional AI layer flags potential etiquette violations for a human to check, and it runs on an Ollama instance deployed by Scheer IMC rather than a third-party service.

The Global Search now shows content in the learner's preferred language and falls back to the content's default where no translation exists, while filters and metadata follow the session language. Results available in several places carry a Multiple sources toggle, and searches returning nothing now suggest what to try instead based on whether the search was lexical or semantic.

Organisations that drive learning processes from external systems gain a significantly larger API surface. New calls create the objects inside learning paths and templates on import, covering access rights, classifications, course assignment, equivalencies, automatic enrolments, prerequisites, completion rules and recertification content. Further APIs handle learning path enrolments with certification properties and status, and a new endpoint manages classifications on course templates.

Health endpoints are now available for the Search app, Indexing service and Subscription service. The OpenID Connect integration supports domain_hint, routing users from external deep links straight to the correct identity provider.

Alongside the changes above, Innovation Pack 14.29 introduces a range of improvements across administration, reporting and platform performance:
