LMS. July 2023 First Release

Release date: Wednesday, July 19th.

Events

With this new tool you can create face-to-face, virtual or hybrid sessions led by a teacher, and summon the participants.

Both students and teachers have access to the new “Events” carousel at the home page of the Learner Portal, where they can:

• see the sessions they have been summoned to,
• register to other available sessions,
• find out where a face-to-face session is being held,
• access the virtual room for online sessions.

The trainers, in addition to hold the face-to-face or online session, will be able to access the list of summoned students, and validate their assistance.

This tool is only available in the new LMS portals (Leaner Portal and Admin Portal).

LMS. June 2023 Second release.

Release date: wednesday 14th june.

Teacher role

The Teacher is a type of user to whom an Administrator or Group Administrator assigns a series of Trainings, so he can check the enrolled students, their academic progress and generate reports. They can be either Courses or Pathways. The Teacher fulfills the role of the trainer who gives a class or training and follows up on his students. To do so, he has access to certain sections of the Admin Portal, the Trainings and Reports sections.

The role of Teacher is only available from LC6 and later versions. It is therefore not accessible to users of LC Legacy, version 5 or earlier.

LMS. May 2023 First release

Public Trainings

In some projects we find trainings that are addressed to all the learners, with the new “public training” feature, all the learners in the tenant will be able to see the training and the learner decides whether to enrol or not (instead of selecting them, selecting a group or uploading a CSV). This will allow any current or future user to see the training and register.

At the moment we have 2 ways to create trainings:

Directed: learners are enrolled individually or by group and they will see the training “My learning” carousel
Free: learners are recommended individually or by group. they will see the training in the “Recommended” carousel and the learner decides whether to enrol or not.
We have also added the possibility to select the nature of a training for a user or a group of users: Mandatory, optional or recommended.
