Release 84:
Create templates more easily and more!

Stefan van den TolMarch 13, 2020Release Notes

We have got an awesome new release ready for you. The release will go live on 16th March 2020. I will tell you all about this new release in text and video.

Create templates more easily

Templates are created on a frequent basis. Many users have become quite handy at this, but we saw that new users sometimes have trouble selecting the right settings. Our usability experts therefore did a lot of tests with users and they’ve created a new optimised page where you can easily create your template.

You no longer have to select a type (social, blended, etc.). You now first choose the goal and then set the functionalities you aim to use. We found that this new design is more coherent and makes it easier for the user to make the right choices. Of course we hope you find this an improvement as well and we’d love to receive your feedback.

Connecting multiple learner groups to a course

As you will be able to connect multiple learner groups to a course after our new release, you will be more flexible in managing groups and courses. You can now connect groups that you might have set up as sub groups or classes, to the same course. In the near future these groups will also be visible for the instructor. The instructor could then for example see only the results of certain groups within that course.

Attendance registration

Events are used in all sorts of ways. We found that it could be useful to have a attendance registration for some events. We therefore added this as an assessment type and learners can now be assessed with ‘Present’ or ‘Absent’. We also made it possible to set a period in which a learner can unsubscribe from an event. Learners can only unenroll before the set time period, once the set time period is reached, learners are unable to unenroll.

What else is new?

It is now possible to turn on a special PE-online ID field for certificates and templates. It is also now easier to enter and change the codes.
We have added the following Option in the settings of the template: Learners receive email notifications of all discussions, even if they have not taken part in that discussion.
The e-mail notification ‘external activity and webinar assessed’ is now editable.
Changes at the Learner tab in the course settings:
- The design of table is optimised.
- You can now search for learner groups.
- Learners can be added to multiple groups. Those groups are also visible in the table.
Changes at the Learner tab in the user settings:
You can now activate or unsubscribe multiple subscriptions of a learner.

It only takes about a minute to completely inspire Stefan about something. For example, to build a boat. “But I don't know how to build a boat!”

On the wish-list to learn: kitesurfing, philosophising

Personalised advertising

You probably use Facebook or LinkedIn and also, you probably use Google from time to time to search for stuff. Then, you’ll know that they have advertisements on there. To make those less annoying (i.e. more personalised), we use a number of services on our website.

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.

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).
