The Latitude Learning Team announces the latest release of the Latitude Learning LMS. This release Version (3.0.0.69872) was promoted to production on Sunday, April 17, 2016.
ENHANCEMENTS
Virtual Classroom: Adobe Connect – Some LMS administrators using the Virtual Classroom feature have experienced errors when launching offerings as an instructor in Adobe Connect. This can happen when an instructor’s LMS account falls out of sync with their Adobe Connect administrator account. To resolve this issue, we have added a “Reset VCO Access” button to the Offering => Actions tab, which an instructor can click at any time to re-sync their accounts.
Public Course Catalog – Enhanced this LMS Add-On feature, which offered Classroom course enrollment, to include self-paced course types: Self-Study, eLearning, Assessment. Latitude customers can now open their LMS course catalog to public registration in all course types.
Subscription Course Credits Allowed – When assigning a Subscription program to an organization, an administrator can restrict course enrollment by populating the "Course Credits Allowed" field. Subscription credits are then counted as "used" upon successful student enrollment until this limit is reached, after which point course tuition, enrollment, and/or approval requirements will be enforced for all "non-subscribers". We have added Site Help text to both fields for clarification.
RESOLVED ISSUES
User Role and Organization Oversight – Fixed data scoping parameters to View/Edit Organization that determines which tabs should display to a user based on Role assignment:
- Administrator – This role allows users to search for, view, and edit their assigned Organizations. Administrators have access to the following tabs: Organization Details (read-only), General Information, Employees, Featured Courses, Brands (Add-On feature), and Branding (when Organizational Branding feature is enabled).
- Location Administrator – This role allows users to search “My Location” and access the following tabs: Organization Details (read-only), Employees, Featured Courses, Brands (Add-On feature), and Branding (when Organizational Branding feature is enabled).
- Location Manager – This role allows users to search “My Location”, but only grants access to the "Organization Details" tab (read-only).
Choose Organization picker – Fixed organization search filters (Name, Code) to once again return proper results.
Classroom Offering Training Type – When adding or editing a Classroom course Offering, there is a field labeled “Training Type” that used to require administrators/instructors to select either Partner, Corporate, Location. This is now a display-only field, which defaults to “Location” in all cases.
Instructor Role – Instructors may Search Offerings and, depending on Distribution Rules, see scheduled offerings for classroom courses that are not shared to their Course Catalog (Business Unit). An Instructor’s ability to view/edit such offerings is limited to the "Detail" tab (read-only) and "Enroll Others" tab.
Notes about this fix:
- An instructor is only allowed to Add Offerings for courses within his Course Catalog (scoped by Business Unit).
- When adding an offering, users with the "Instructor" role are now required to Select an Instructor. Portal Administrators and Administrators are still able to add offerings without an Instructor assigned (optional field).
- If an Instructor is granted access to Offerings outside of his Course Catalog, he is allowed view "Offering Details", and take action on the "Enroll Others" and "Roster Details" tabs. Please note that the Instructor’s right to Enroll, Cancel, and Substitute students on the roster is restricted to those users he oversees as “Employees” in the LMS (scoped by instructor’s Organization and Position assignments).
eCommerce – Resolved issues with course enrollment, retake restrictions, and subscription setup involving tuition-based courses.
