Improvements to Purchases of Courses that Have a Face-to-face Activity (Improvement)When a user purchases a course that has a face-to-face activity for other users, they may not always want to select which session the learners will be required to attend. As part of this improvement, if a user is enrolling themselves, they will immediately be required to select the session they want to attend. If a user is purchasing the course on behalf of other users, they will be given a choice between picking a specific session for all their learners, or deferring the selection. If the selection is deferred, the learners will have to pick the session they want to attend after they use the license key to self-enrol in the course. February 22, 2024 ♦ v4.1.9.1 ♦ HCE-7811 License Keys Need to Enforce Pre-requisites (Bug Fix)When a user is given a license key to a course that has pre-requisites, that user can still enrol in the course (using the key) even though they did not complete the pre-requisite(s). If the user completes the course, they will not be awarded a learning recorded but they are not prevented from enrolling in the course. As part of this software fix, when a learner tries to enrol in a course that has pre-requisites using a license key, the enrolment will verify if the user has completed the pre-requisites. If they have not, they will be presented with a message informing them that they must complete the pre-requisites first. That message has a hyperlink that will redirect them to the pre-requisites. February 22, 2024 ♦ v4.1.9.1 ♦ HCE-7859 User Interface Improvements to the Face-to-face Summary Pages (Improvement)Face-to-face sessions are summarized on certain screens, like on the sign-up screen and in the calendar. The event summarizes the session and includes information such as the method of delivery (in person or virtual), the name of the facilitator, etc. As part of this improvement, information that is not captured for the event in question is removed from the summary. February 22, 2024 ♦ v4.1.9.1 ♦ HCE-6511 Usage Report (New Feature)This report summarizes various statistics about the usage of the system over time. The initial web page (the “Summary”) displays the number of courses, number of users, number of recently active users, number of role assignments, number of posts, number of questions, number of resources, average number of participants, average number of recently active participants, and average number of course modules. The administrator can then click on each tab to get more details broken down over a time period. The information is available in a graphical format as well as a table format. A similar report is available within individual courses to provide data about the course in question..

Statement of Remittance Includes More Details on HST/GST (Improvement)The Statement of Remittance, which provides a detailed breakdown of your online sales, now includes more details on the HST/GST collected. The improvement is meant to help your accounting team more easily track and report on the sales taxes. January 23, 2024 ♦ v4.1.8.4 ♦ HCE-7656 The maximum on “License key expires after” Has Been Increased From 1 Year to 3 Years (Improvement)When selling course licenses, there is a limit on how long licenses can be valid for. The limit has been increased from 1 year to 3 years to encourage purchasers to buy site licenses even though they may not consume all licenses in a year. Note that the actual value (that you already set) in your existing courses has not changed. This improvement does however allow you to increase the duration of a license if you want.

The notification comes in the form of an email. The body of the email contains a direct hyperlink to the suggested course’s description as well as an “unsubscribe” link in the event that the user wants to stop receiving suggestions in the future. January 9, 2024 ♦ v4.1.8.2 ♦ HCE-7738 Course Completion Conditions May Be Ignored under Specific Circumstances (Bug Fix)If a course is configured with “Activity completion” criteria, “Expiration by date” criteria and any other criteria (e.g. Course Grades or Manual Completion by Others), provided that the learner completes the activities, the user will be awarded a course completion. In other words, the user is not required to meet any of the other conditions with the exception of the activity and retake conditions. Learn more here: Configuring Recurring Courses "Expiration by date" is Marked Complete Even Though Other Conditions are Outstanding (Bug Fix)When viewing the Course Completion report, a condition of “Expired by date” is marked as completed when the learner completes the 1st activity. On the other hand, the “Expiration by lapse time” is marked as completed when the learner completes the course (e.g. the last activity). For consistency, the “Expiration by date” is now only marked as complete when the user completes the entire course and receives a learning record. Learn more here: Configuring Recurring Courses To Order of a Result Set Can Prevent Completions from Being Awarded (Bug Fix)The order of the result set in the database query to aggregate all of the course completion criteria can result in a situation whereby course completions are not awarded. Unlocking the course completions settings does not resolve the issue. As part of this software fix, the logic to calculate whether the system should award a learning record has been refactored and the order of the result set no longer matters.
