New themes available: Lisbon, Porto, Osaka

The 1 series of themes is growing. In addition to the Sidney theme, we now have the Lisbon, Porto and Osaka themes, a series of themes designed to quickly create attractive, interactive content that will look great on any device where it is launched (both mobile devices and desktop and laptop computers), simply by choosing and dragging the different content blocks available: texts, images (with areas and markers) interactive videos, accordions, tabs, galleries, and a variety of questions: single answer, multiple answer, free text, relate items, sort list, drag over image, likert.

Valid for any subject. It is possible to create content in any of the themes of series 1, and change it for another of the same series a posteriori.

Component tree

Now authors with a Professional licence can see the tree with the structure of the components in a new panel, to know their hierarchy, and to be able to move them more comfortably.

Improved buttons

The buttons can be configured so that the content does not allow the learner to move on to the next page, or be considered completed, until the learner interacts (clicks) on the buttons that the author considers. Also with the advanced buttons.

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.

Learning Cloud New Generation (Mobile App)

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.

learningCloud 4.5.5 – Pathways with stages

As an administrator

The Pathways tool allows the creation of training itineraries by establishing blocks between Sprints to determine prerequisites between training content. From version 4.5.5 stages are established within Pathways.

Establishing stages allows to divide the training content and establish more flexible learning paths. Within each stage, at least one Sprint is required and there can be as many Sprints as we want. Stages establish blocks between each other. If you want to advance to the next stage you must have done (and completed) all Sprints marked as required in the previous stage.

In each stage there is no mandatory order for the completion of Sprints. Sprints can be performed in any order, only the order “recommended” by the administrator when establishing the list of Sprints will be part of a stage.

To change the order of the Sprints, simply drag & drop the Sprints to the desired position.

The Pathway may or may not have an associated badge that would be assigned after the Pathway is completed. If the requirements change during the process, i.e. if we increase the number of required Sprints or decrease the progress of the Pathway is calculated dynamically so that only students who have not completed the Pathway are affected.

As a student

A student when accessing their Pathway will see those Sprints belonging to the same stage unlocked and those belonging to a subsequent stage blocked.

As the students complete the Sprints, the next stages will be unlocked.

Students can view their progress and the Pathway badges any time.

One of the improvements introduced in this new release is that Sprints that belong to a pathway and are blocked, although they appear on the carousels, cannot be accessed.

Learning Cloud Author 1.56

On Thursday 15th March​​​​​​​, a new version of LearningCloud Author (v1.56) will be released. It includes several enhancements:

  • A new type of activity is available: Drag over image.
  • Feedback can be displayed depending on the score obtained in a questionnaire.
  • It is now possible to change the size of a word or a sentence in a particular text.
  • When exporting texts in XLIFF format to send for translation, it is possible to exclude texts from the templates and symbols of pre-packaged structures in the theme.
  • You can indicate at what point in the video the learner is considered to have completed the video, so that it is not necessary for the learner to watch the end credits.
  • New action for buttons: It is possible to reset the learner’s progress in the content: videos and audios go back to the second zero of playback, the time spent for completing time-limited quizzes goes back to 0, etc.
