      Constructor Learn (LMS) Release 113

      Overview

      In this release, we’ve improved the behavior of the Communications Hub during proctored exams and added the following feature:

      • Communication between learners in mini-groups

      Additionally, we are developing functionality that will allow administrators and instructors to assign instructors to mini-groups for group activities. Learners will also be able to complete and submit various types of group activities, including assignments. This functionality will be available in future releases.

      What's new

      Communication between learners in mini-groups

      As part of the learner journey related to collaborative activities, learners can now chat and exchange links and files with their mini-group members and peers in a dedicated collaborative environment. A separate collaboration channel is automatically created for each mini-group assigned to complete a group assignment.

      Improvements

      We’ve introduced the option to disable opening the chat when proctoring is enabled.
