Applying and Reviewing Course Equivalencies (Improvement)

The navigation for viewing / applying for equivalencies (for learners) and reviewing / approving equivalencies (for supervisors and administrators) has been simplified. Users who are not able to apply for an equivalency because they do not have supervisors who can approve their application no longer see the link to apply for equivalencies.

Issuing Certificates of Completion Automatically (New Feature)

When a user completes a course, a certificate of completion can now be emailed to them as a PDF attachment (and optionally the instructor) automatically without requiring the Instructor to add a "Simple Certificate" activity to each and every course. Additionally, this new certificate of completion allows a learner to download older copies of their certificate of completion via the Learning History report - something not possible when using the "Simple Certificate" activity.

Remove Separate Link in the Navigation Block for Transcripts (Improvement)

Transcripts, also known as Statements of Marks, were available from the Learning History report (for learners under Navigation > Reports > Learning History) and the Transcript report (for administrators under Site Administration > Reports > Transcripts). But there was a 3rd link also available under Navigation > Reports > Transcripts. This 3rd link was considered redundant and has been removed to improve usability of the system and reduce the overall number of navigational menu items.
