        TABLE OF CONTENTS


        Overview


        We've introduced these new features to facilitate the implementation of certificates for courses and creation of an Open Catalog for non-authorized users:

        • Certificate templates management
        • Applying certificates to objectives
        • Certificate issuance and access for learners
        • Open Catalog for public access to selected courses

        Certificate templates management

        Master-data administrators can now manage certificate templates using a dedicated editor. This editor includes essential tools for generating downloadable and viewable certificates. Master-data administrators can add text placeholders, format text, import JPEG or other graphic files for backgrounds, and work with layers and layouts to create comprehensive learning records.

        Applying certificates to objectives

        Instructors or administrators can now select a pre-created certificate template for a specific course (objective). Upon successful completion of the course and meeting the required criteria, learners are awarded the designated certificate. This certificate includes details such as the learner’s name, course code, validity period, and any other data specified in the certificate template.

        Certificate issuance and access for learners

        When learners complete a course (objective) with an assigned certificate and meet the required conditions, they receive a certificate. Learners can view their current results and preview the certificate on the About the course page. Certificates are downloadable as PDFs. Additionally, learners can share with all users, including non-registered ones, the page with the results and downloadable certificate.

        Open Catalog for public access to selected courses

        We've introduced the Open Catalog feature, which allows selected courses to be publicly viewed via an open API. Instructors can now designate these courses and create and create an enrollment rule for a special Open Catalog unit. The Open Catalog page organizes these courses into a catalog format, which enables users to browse this catalog, view course details, and choose courses of interest. Upon selecting a course, users can start it after signing up as authorized users.

        Improvements and fixes

        Improvements

        PDF viewer improvements

        We have introduced the following fixes for the current PDF reader:

        • Navigation: Correct page numbers are now displayed in headers, and the page browser accurately shows “pages”. We have also improved the handling of manually entered page numbers.
        • Zoom functionality: Users can now manually adjust zoom values, with accurate display of minimum and maximum zoom levels. Additionally, the issues related to zooming using the mouse wheel or touchpad gestures have been resolved.
        • Background: We’ve fixed the issues with colors.

        Fixes

        We’ve fixed the following issues:

        • An issue where learners couldn't preview their previous attempts.
        • The course start process after learners press “Start the course”. Previously, users were sometimes directed to the “About the course page” page instead of accessing course content.
        • Vimeo videos are marked as “watched” when 98% of the video is viewed.
        • Continued optimization of Vimeo uploads for authors to prevent video processing issues.
        • Improved learning content transfer between content teams for Vimeo content.
        • Enhanced error indication for issues occurring on the Vimeo platform.
        • Optimized column sizing and text wrapping for tables in Rich Text.
        • Enhanced processing of anchors in Rich Text for authors.
