Release 88:
Time registration and use of colour in the plus editor under the Christmas tree!

anewspring-release-88-christmas-happy-holidays

We have been working hard on a new release, so that we were still able to provide a gift under the Christmas tree, because some customers will be very happy to read this.

In this release we tell you more about time registration of courses and colour use in the plus editor. And that’s not all. We are also working on major projects that will be released in 2021. I will also tell you something about this.

Keep time registration of courses

In the next release you can see how much time a user needs to complete a course. This is often necessary for training to obtain a certificate or for participants to earn their accreditation points after completing a course. This can also be a useful report for customers who are not involved in registering but want to gain insight into the duration of a course.

The Course duration (HH: MM: SS) can be requested via the reporting engine.

Professional-looking learning journeys with the colour palette

We have made a colour palette available, so that colours can be used in the plus-editor. The text and background can be given a colour. For example, it can be possible to give tips, assignments or points of interest a specific colour, so that the user can recognize this more easily.

Watch the video tutorial to see how to use this

What else has improved?

The ‘unsubscribe’ button in the course at the tabs ‘settings and users’ will be changed to ‘deactivate’. This is what the button does.
Multiple catalogue managers can be selected.
The instructor can print and export the list of learners.

Behind the scenes at aNewSpring

We are also working on major projects. We need more time to release this. Nevertheless, we want to give you a look behind the scenes at aNewSpring.

Grouped Learning Journeys (bundles)

We are currently working on creating bundles of learning journeys. For example, a learning journey does not have to stand alone, but learning journeys can be interconnected in bundles. This means that you can work in themes, quarters or grades with multiple learning journeys that connect with each other. We will tell more about this in 2021.

Profiles & Competences

We are also working on profiles and competences. Within the platform we can measure knowledge by using the assessment activity. But we would like to measure skills and attitude as well. We want to achieve this with competences. Progress and results in the learning journey can be linked to competences.

Some competences may correspond in different functions, professions or levels, which is why we are also working on profiles. For example, profiles can be set based on a package of learning journeys that must be completed to achieve a profile. Competences can also be part of this.

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.
