Teacher and Non-editing Teacher Roles Have Been Renamed for New Installations (Improvement)

The words "Teacher" and "Non-editing Teacher" are mostly used in the academic sector (e.g. colleges, universities) and not commonly used in the healthcare nor corporate sector. As such, the roles were renamed to "Lead Instructor" and "Instructor" respectively for new installations only. In other words, any new system installed after HCE 4.1.4 will see the roles "Lead Instructor" and "Instructor" while any older system will continue to see the old role names. That being said, all of our documentation will be refactored over the next few weeks to use the word "Instructor". And eventually, the words "Teacher" and "Non-editing Teacher" will be completely removed from the learning environment as well.

User is Enrolled in a Course and Face-to-face Session yet Sees an Error Message (Bug Fix)

When a user signs up for a session using the "Session enrolments" method and pays using PayPal Pro, if and only if the "Send email confirmation" is enabled on the enrolment method, the user will see an error message. The error in question is related to sending the email confirmation to the user. The user is still registered in the course and in the face-to-face session as expected. As part of this software fix, the email is now properly sent to the user and the error message is no longer displayed.

Old / Saved Timesheets Cannot be Updated Following the Upgrade (Bug Fix)

Following an upgrade from HCE 3.9 to HCE 4.1, an old face-to-face attendance timesheet cannot be updated. In other words, if an instructor has already saved a timesheet in January 2023 and now (following the upgrade) needed to modify the same timesheet (by adding or removing attendees), the timesheet would not show the attendance of the users as it was entered back in January. As part of this software fix, timesheets that were saved prior to the upgrade will continue to be displayed using the older (HCE 3.9) layout. Timesheets that were never saved, regardless of when the session took place (before the upgrade or after the upgrade), will now use the new layout, which allows an instructor to save a timesheet as a draft before approving it.

User Unassignment for Performance Appraisal Ends Abruptly (Bug Fix)

When changing the business rules for the assignment of performance appraisals, it is possible to unassign users from appraisal forms. If the performance appraisal system tried to unassign users who had already completed the form, the system would immediately throw an exception and stop processing the rest of the users. The end result is that users who should have been unassigned (after the exception took place) were never unassigned from the form. As part of this software fix, if a user no longer qualifies based on the new business rules has already been completed the form, the system simply skips them (without throwing an exception) and continues to process the rest of the users.

Empty CSV File Used for User Uploads Reports a Failure  (Improvement)

If the learning environment, as part of the "User Upload" procedure, tries to upload a CSV file that simply contains the headers but no data, it would report a failure. As part of this improvement, processing a file that contains no user data is considered a success.

Conditions may Inadvertently Save the 1st Operator in the List Instead of the Previously Saved Operator (Bug Fix)

When defining conditions in programs, cohorts or the performance appraisal system, some special fields types such as the "Date/Time" field type (as an example) load special operators (e.g. "is on", "is before", or "is after"). When loading the page, the correct operator would be displayed, but if the administrator did not interact with the condition and simply clicked on "Save Changes" (e.g. saved the page without modifying the condition), the learning environment would inadvertently save the condition using the 1st operator in the list ("is on") instead of the previously saved operator ("is before" or "is after"). As part of this software fix, the page now saves the previously saved operator for those special field types.

The "Terms and Conditions" Activity does not Display Badges (Improvement)

When a user views the course outline page, a badge on the right side of the activity in question informs them what they need to do (if the activity is incomplete) such as "View the activity" or "Receive a passing grade", or what they have already accomplished (if the activity has been completed). The "Terms and Conditions" activity however did not have any badges. As part of this improvement, the Terms and Conditions activity now states that the user must accept the terms and conditions, which may include legal terms, a policy, or whatever the instructor put in the activity.
