Sprint 68 was released on Thursday, 12/4/14, and included the following enhancements and new features:
NEW
- Section Locked Until: Sections can now be setup to be locked until a specific date and time (corresponding to a time zone). If a learner attempts to launch an enrollment in a section that is still locked, the learner will be shown a message indicating that they cannot proceed until the given date and time.
- Section Admin Resources - LTI: The section admin resources WYSIWYG can now support embedding a link to a LTI resource. When a section admin clicks the link from the manage section area, a new window will open which will pull in the LTI resource.
- Replace Statement of Credit for Published Credit Profiles: You can now easily replace your statement of credit certificates for any published credit profile.
ENHANCEMENTS
- Excel Reports: We've upgraded some of our components that we are using to generate the Excel reports. The upgrade will help alleviate issues that we've encountered when multiple large Excel reports are executing at the same time.
- Download Reports: We've rewritten the report downloading feature so that downloading an Excel report in IE8 will no longer attempt to open the report as a zip file.
- Admin Search: We've improved the existing search features to make it easier to find learners based on their rate category. If an organization has more than 1 rate category, a new rate category search box will appear.
- Drop Box Learning Activity: The drop box learning activity has been updated to support admin notifications and scoring capabilities. Section administrators will now be notified when a submission is made by a learner in their section. The activity can now be included in the scoring category for a product.
- Discussion Learning Activity: Section administrators will now be notified when a post is made by a learner in one of their sections. If the activity is a scored activity and the learner's activity isn't complete, then a notification will be generated for section admins to ensure they are aware of an activity pending to be scored. If the activity isn't a scored activity, section admins will have at most one notification at a time about new posts made on the discussion topic.The discussion activity has also been updated to allow for the introduction HTML message to allow up to 10,000 characters.
- OIG/GSA: The PDF output of the OIG/GSA results now include the date in which the results for each individual learner was gathered.
