LMS Update: Enhanced Profile Switching, Curriculum View, Facilities and Course Management
On August 20th, the latest version of the LMS was released and made available at LatitudeLearning.com. This release included targeted functional and administrative enhancements, including...
My Details - Profiles
Enhanced Functionality: Functionality was enhanced so that users can select or activate a profile without first selecting a specific location within that portal’s organizational structure. Instead, it will simply default in the first location from the locations housed in the LMS database.
Benefit: For authorized administrative users managing multiple portals or profiles, this will speed up transition from one profile to another.
Curriculum Tab
Enhanced Functionality: When a portal is configured to use the Flash-based display of a user’s curriculum information available under the Curriculum tab, the site will now display only those active/populated skill areas for a given user, versus displaying any/all skill areas for a given curriculum, even if there is no relevant data available for some of the skill areas.
Benefit: A user only sees relevant skill area/goals information tied to a given curriculum.
Facilities – Add/Edit Facilities Page
Enhanced Functionality: The user interface was updated so that Country and State/Province information was relocated, now prompting the user for Country information first, then State information. In addition, Country now defaults the user’s country based on address information available from his/her current active profile in the LMS. States available in the drop down are also scoped to the specific Country selected.
Benefit: Ease of entry and better data scoping.
Courses – Add/Edit Course Prerequisites and Equivalencies
Enhanced Functionality: When using the course picker and selecting courses for assignment as prerequisites (or equivalencies), results will now display the course ID along with other pertinent course information in the search results.
Benefits: Provides at-a-glance course ID information (alongside other course details) to authorized content administrators assigning prerequisites and equivalencies to a given course in the LMS.
...Enjoy this latest set of updates, and stay tuned for upcoming enhancements over the weeks to come, including:
Integrated e-Commerce - Enable e-Commerce processing for courses available through your portal
Subscription Management - Manage course subscriptions for locations in your portal
Streamlined Ektron CMS Integration - Extend the capabilities of your knowledge portal with market-leading content management capabilities.
