The Latitude Learning Team announces the latest release of the Latitude Learning LMS. This release (version 2.5.1.62588) was promoted to production on Thursday, May 10th and included the following updates and enhancements:
COURSE MANAGEMENT
Virtual Class Offerings - Hide Enrollment Date when adding VCO Offering: Previously, enrollment date was displayed when trying adding a virtual classroom offering, but was not visible when adding a classroom offering. Updates were made to hide this for virtual class offerings to be consistent for both facilitated events.
Course Delivery Method - Rename CD-ROM – On Demand to CD-ROM: Based on feedback from administrative users, the CD-ROM – On Demand course type was relabeled simply to CD-ROM.
Course Search - Entering colon (:) in Course Search results in error: This updates addresses a reported issue where entering a colon (:) as part of the text entered into the Course Search box on the LMS Home page was resulting in an error. Targeted updates were made to handle the special character issue and alleviate the error condition.
Course Offerings - Substitute Students utility not working as expected: This update resolves an error condition when attempting to substitute an unenrolled, non-waitlist user into an existing course offering.
Course Delivery Method - Selection Box Requires Scrolling: Previously, on the course search screen, sizing of the DELIVERY METHOD selection box was resulting in users having to scroll to see all options. Delivery Method selection box has been resized so that scrolling is no longer required to see relevant information.
e-Learning SCORM Tab - Hide Publisher List on SCORM Tab: Previously, the LMS was displaying a list of Latitude Learning preferred content vendors when viewing the SCORM tab for an existing e-Learning course. This list has been removed.
MESSAGING
Enrollment Messaging - Add Course Detail Link in Enrollment Email Messaging: At the request of our administrator community, this enhancement adds a link to the Course Details page for enrollment email messages. With this update in place, students can now simply click on the link in the email and go directly (after authenticating) to the associated Course Details page to launch e-Learning courses.
Enrollment Messaging - Course Offerings Enrollment messaging does not include Time Zone: Previously, the informational text did not include the Time Zone with the Date/Time information. Updates were made so that Time Zone is now included with all offering times.
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Pre-Loaded Resources - Other Portal Names Visible for Pre-Loaded Resources: This update addresses an issue where portal administrators viewing free Latitude Learning LMS resources (e.g. user guides, etc) in the catalog could see names of other organizations that also had access to these global resources. Adjustments were made to further scope the visibililty of these resources and hiding other portal names.
USER HISTORY
At the request of our administrator community, the following History Tab updates to enhance usability and access to targeted course status and completion information:
1. Removed course description
2. Changed “title and description” column header to “Course Title”
3. Changed “Number” column header to “Course Code”
4. Renamed “Scored After Date” to “Completion Date”
5. Renamed “Score W/P/T” with “Score Pre/Post-Test”
6. Removed “Practical Score” from the add and edit transcript page.
7. Renamed “Expiration” to “Expiration Date”
8. Renamed “Responsible Location” to “Location”
APPROVALS
Approval Tab displaying unexpectedly when viewing an Employee with Student Role: This update addressed a reported issue where the Approvals tab was appearing for student-level users who did not otherwise have appropriate administrative rights to approve training for other users in their organization. Although the tab was non-functional based on approval rules in the LMS, the tab was still appearing unexpectedly. Appropriate updates were made to check user's rights.
CERTIFICATION AND CURRICULUM MANAGEMENT
Goal Transitions - Error when removing goal transition: Targeted updates were made to resolve a javascript error that was being received when attempting to remove a goal transition, specifically in FireFox.
Program Year Setup - CYO "Current Year Only" were renamed CPO "Current Program Only": At the request of administrative users, all references to CYO "Current Year Only" were renamed CPO "Current Program Only" to better reflect the fact that many customers do not use a calendar-year format for the certification programs. Additionally, Program Year has been relabeled to Program Certification, and the help text at the top of the Certification and Curriculum History search pages and the corresponding pop-up help has been relabeled to Program instead of Program Year.
Curriculum Tree - Curriculum Tree view not displaying checkbox selection for e-learning pre-approved courses: Previously, when an e-learning pre-approved course was present in a defined curriculum, there was no pre-enroll checkbox available in the curriculum tree view. These enhancements update the Curriculum Tree to allow pre-registering e-Learning Pre-approved courses using the checkbox option.
Certification Management - Reinstate Certification Retake Restriction and Accumulate Credit fields on Course Deatils Tab: Previous updates to streamline course information hid these items from view. Based on feedback from administrators, Certification Retake Restriction and Accumulate Credit field were added back to the Course Details page. Also, Certification Retake Restriction was relabeled to Retake Restriction.
Change Category to Skill Area / default "show more details": Based upon feedback from our administrator community and to enhance general usability of this area, "Category" has been relabeled to "Skill Area" on the Certification and Curriculum results UI's. "Show more details" is now the default on the Certification and Curriculum search results pages under History tab.
ORGANIZATION MANAGEMENT
Organization Search - Add Organization Picker to Organization Search filtering: To address usability issues with organization search and filtering, an Organization picker has been added to the Organization Search filters.
REPORTS
User Transcript Audit Report - Page layout on portals with fixed width was not displaying as expected for portals with fixed width display.
