Sprint 56 was released on Monday, 5/5/14 and included the following enhancements and new features:
- Learning Product Section Admin Resources: A Learning Product Admin can now specify HTML through a WYSIWYG that is only visible to section admins. This area can also include any downloadable assets that should be available to your section admins. Any resources uploaded in this new area will only be available to the appropriate section administrators.
- Certification Product: A new product type is being added to Learner Community. A Certification Product is a collection of Learning Products that can be mapped out as a number of core and elective requirements. Upon fulfilling the requirements for the certification, the learner will become "Certified" for the specified period of time. Major steps have been taken on the admin side to support certification products. Next sprint we will be adding the end user side which will complete the feature. Until then, the admin side will remain hidden to avoid confusion.
- Custom Credit Certificate Fields: You can now upload a credit certificate template with your own custom fields that can be required by the user upon them printing their "statement of credit".
- Admin View of Learner Includes Conferences and Subscriptions: When viewing a learner's information under the manage learners area, you now can see the learner's Conferences and Subscriptions. In the Conferences area you can view each section that the learner attended and the progress towards each section. Additionally you can revoke access to a section. In the Subscriptions area you can now view each subscription and view the progress for any associated enrollments within the subscription.
- Video Learning Activities: We've redesigned the admin experience for adding a video as a learning activity to make it consistent with other learning activities.
- Learning Product Section Admin Area: We've improved the layout of the area by breaking the different sections into tabs. We've also added the administrator resources as described above.
- Enrollments Widget: The enrollments widget has improved support for showing enrollments across multiple types of products. We've also made it a two step process for moving items in the enrollments area to the archive to help avoid users accidently hiding their enrollments. Additional information about the changes has been discussed here.
Please feel free to leave comments or questions about this sprint!

@Sara - was the functionality on the Your Account / Credits page (/account/credit) changed in a recent sprint? From our initial testing we recall being able to print statements of credit directly from that page, but we no longer see the button available for printing. The credits still appear, as does the button to claim a credit, where applicable. Thanks!

Matt, the Your Account>Credits Achieved area allows claiming credit and printing a statement of credit at the time of claiming. It hasn't included the functionality up to now to reprint that statement, but that would be a useful feature. We are planning to add the ability to reprint all statements of credit from the Credits Achieved page in a future sprint. Thanks for your input!

Thanks, Sara. Are there are any plans to also allow regular completion certificates to be printed from the Your Account>Completions page? We will not be using credits for one of our portals so this would be useful for us as well. The user experience is far simpler if they can locate all their certificates in one spot instead of needing to launch each enrollment.

Matt, we agree that it makes sense for the completion certificates to be accessible from this location as well. We've added it to the backlog for a future sprint release. Thanks again for all of your valuable input!
