What's new with Constructor Learning Management?

Overview

• Optional and mandatory activities in courses

Optional and mandatory activities in courses

Course authors and instructors now have the ability to differentiate between optional and mandatory activities of a course. To mark an activity as optional, they enable the corresponding flag in the Content flow settings of the course composition. Optional items are not necessary for completing the course, which gives learners the flexibility to choose whether to complete or skip them while still receiving credit.

At the same time, optional activities can be included into the total score calculation. Successfully completing these activities allows learners to earn additional points beyond the minimum required.

Authors can also define whether these optional activities should be included in the calculation of the overall course progress.

Fullscreen alert for the second monitor use in SDK

In the SDK, we have added a fullscreen alert to block the use of a second monitor during exams. The alert is displayed if the exam settings prohibit additional monitors, and the user attempts to connect one.

Personal reply in exam chat added to SDK

The Reply to option, previously available in the web app, has now been added to the SDK. Now customers using the SDK also have this functionality in the exam chats. It helps learners respond to specific messages, enhancing their communication during exams.

Image sending to exam chat added to SDK

Image sending functionality in the learner chat, previously available in the web app, has now been added to the SDK. Now, learners of customers using the SDK can attach images to the chat.

Enhanced language compatibility

We've implemented a solution for users whose selected language in the LMS is not supported by our application. In such cases, the application automatically switches to the default language, which is English. This ensures that users across different countries can easily navigate the interface and complete all necessary steps before the exam.
