Release 82:
Tags at content libraries and alternative styling for templates

Stefan van den TolNovember 11, 2019Release Notes

Being even more creative with your learning journeys and structuring your content using tags. Sounds good right?

This is possible after our new release on Wednesday 13 November! Watch the video below or read along about the new optional alternative styling and tags at content.

Create a knowledge base or add Microlearning in aNewSpring?

In this release we have added a new option – Alternative styling – to the template. We noticed that a lot of our clients have a need to create learning without a ‘learning journey’. By using the alternative styling, the ‘learning journey line’ is hidden and blocks and activities are condensed. By hiding the ‘next’ button in an activity you can also direct your learners to the course overview.

Below I will highlight some use cases of this feature, for inspiration:

Create a knowledge base for your learners. They can choose relevant, curated content from different themes.
Add learning bytes and/or micro learning. Within a template, you can create (unrelated) lessons about all kinds of subjects that are not ‘linked’ to each other with the learning journey line. Also, learners aren’t advised to proceed to next activities, but will be brought back to the overview.
By enabling social learning, you can create a community. Setup different themes in blocks, and create lessons below where your learners can discuss these topics.

With a creative mind you might be able to think of many more uses cases in which this new styling might help! You can also check this article on our support site.

This feature is available for aNewSpring for Trainers and Organisations

Add structure to your content libraries using tags

We have noticed that many of our new clients are already using our tags-feature to structure templates and courses. Good news! This release also allows tagging on content libraries.

You can tag and filter content libraries themselves, but also add tags to content within these content libraries. For example, you could add the tag ‘Update’ to content, that you need to update regularly. You can filter on this tag and it will show all tagged content, which you can immediately edit.

Now that we have added tags to content, you can also filter on tags at the activity content tab in your template. So when you create a new activity, you can filter on a specific tag within your library and add the relevant content easily.

You can see how tagging already works for templates here.

This feature is available for aNewSpring for Organisations

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.
