Release 81:
Tagging at templates & Notes for learners!

Govert de JongAugust 26, 2019Release Notes

On Wednesday 28 August there will be a new release for you! Watch the video below about our new features ‘Tagging’ and ‘Notes’. Below the video you can read and see what else we’ve added.

Tagging: Efficiently structure templates and courses your own way

The request to add folders to the templates tab has been around for a while. We took this request in a broader perspective by introducing tags. For example. you could benefit from tags by:

Creating specific tags for designers and add these to templates. You can then filter on a specific name and see all allocated templates to that specific designer.
Adding tags to old templates and organise them based on year, date or archive.
Structuring large quantities of templates based on type of training, location, level, etc.

This support article will help you setting up your tag collection! In the next release we will further expand the tagging feature.

This feature is available for aNewSpring for Organisations

Notes for learners: Create your own summary of the learning journey!

If learners are enabled to easily make their own notes and drafts, they can learn more efficiently. In aNewSpring you can now enable the notes feature that makes this possible. Learners can create their personal notes and link it directly to specific content pages, which allows for easy review of that content.

It will be possible to export the notes and see them in a general overview in the future, so stay tuned!

This feature is available for aNewSpring for Trainers and Organisations

Quick Wins and Other Enhancements

Navigation after the completion of an activity is now made more clear for learners
Users that receive a group message can now respond to both all recipients and only the sender
Learners who are navigating from an activity to the overview, will now automatically be brought back to the specific activity in the overview (anchor)
At the assessment activity you can now choose a score, but without setting a threshold. This makes it possible to give a score but not see passed/failed
The design of ‘Multiple answers are possible:” can now be edited in the Look & Feel. You can find the option in ‘Questions’, under ‘Description’
Designers (with author rights) can now more easily adjust questions and content parts when testing a template. At each question and content part an ‘Edit’ icon has been added
Add a link/url to an image in the plus-editor. If you add an image, choose hotspots and add it to the entire image. Then choose the ‘Link’ option and add the url
Warning notifications are now more visible if you choose ‘base score on criteria’ at an assessment, but do not fill in any criteria
On the template page, the ‘Settings’ button next to courses has been changed to ‘Learners’. This button (and the name of the courses) now links to the learners tab within a course. The settings link can now be found under the dropdown menu ‘more’.

The release notes can be found here.

Website statistics

Feedback is valuable. When it comes to how well our website works for you, feedback is formed by numbers and statistics. That’s why we use Google Analytics and Hotjar to learn how visitors move, click and act on our website. To make it less scary, we anonymise this data before we save it by masking the last few numbers of your IP-address. And we do not allow Google or other parties to use this information for any other purposes.

Functional technologies

We kind of need those cookies, because it makes your visit much nicer by remembering personal preferences, quicker performance and loading the correct fonts from Google to properly represent our branding (which we hope you think is pretty, too).
