Monthly release notes: July

Enhanced composition editor

We focused on improving the composition editor to provide a smoother and more efficient user experience. This upgrade allows authors to manage and edit content with greater ease.

Added new activity editing feature in the composition editor

A major enhancement in this release is the ability to edit activities directly from the composition editor. Authors can now open any activity in a new tab for preview and editing, making it easier to review content before or after adding it to the composition.

Introduced filters on my courses and catalog pages

We introduced filters on the My Courses and Catalog pages, allowing users to easily find the courses they need at any given moment. These filters help reduce clutter and enable learners to focus on their required courses.

Improved UI of activity cards

The UI of activity cards has been improved. We now display the best attempt on a card, and the list of all attempts includes the latest one, providing a clearer overview of progress.

Proctor SDK updates

We have made significant updates to the Proctor SDK, specifically targeting error messaging to provide clearer and more helpful feedback to learners during proctored exams.

Improved error messaging for proctored exams

Previously, learners could face difficulties starting a proctored test for several reasons, such as the absence of available proctors, the exam time not being reached, issues with token generation in the LMS, or technical problems with the proctoring server. In such cases, the error messages were often unclear, leading to confusion and frustration.

Enhanced user experience

With the new update, the Proctor SDK now handles all these scenarios and provides clear, understandable error messages. Whether there are no available proctors, it's not yet exam time, there are token generation issues, or technical difficulties with the proctoring server, learners will now receive precise information about the issue preventing them from starting their proctored exam. This enhancement aims to improve the overall user experience by reducing confusion and helping learners understand the specific problems they may encounter.
