Performance Improvements when Reporting on Indirect Staff (Improvement)

Users who are granted the role of Supervisor have the ability to decide whether they only want to view users who report to them directly, or all users who report to them (directly or indirectly). When a Director reports on indirect staff, they are able to report on users who report to their Managers on the organizational chart. When a supervisor would report on "All users who report to me (directly or indirectly)", some reports would take a long time to load. As part of this performance improvement, the reports in question return much faster - as much as 10x as fast for some Supervisors.

Specifying the Course ID Number when Uploading Historical Learning Records (Improvement)

When the learning environment generates learning records, it includes the "Course ID number" value from the course, thereby providing a way for clients to include a version of the course the learners competed in the learning record. When uploading historical learning records however, the administrator could not specify a course ID number. As a result, the current value in the course ID number field would always be included in the learning record, including historical learning records. As part of this improvement the course id number is not an optional column in the CSV file used to upload learning records.

Badges Show "Done: Complete" when an Activity is Failed (Bug Fix)

When a user fails an activity, the overall badge displayed next to the activity in question shows "Done: Completed". While it's true that the user has completed the activity, it's important to reflect whether they have passed or failed the activity. This software fix continues to display a single "Done: Completed" badge when the user completes and passes all of the activities, but will now show all of the badges, including a failed badge, when the user fails one or more of the requirements for the activity.

Course Search Toolbar is Hidden if "Require login" is Enabled (Improvement)

System Administrators have the ability to specify (under Site Administration > System Configuration) whether or not users are required to login before accessing any portion of the site. (Alternatively, if "Require login" is disabled, a user is allowed to view the site's front page without being logged in.) The course search toolbar typically at the top right of the site was visible even though "Require login" was enabled and the user had not yet logged in. If a user used the toolbar to search for courses, the system would not return any results, leading the user to believe that the system had no courses. As part of this improvement, if "Require login" is enabled, the course search toolbar is only visible after users log in the system.

Learners Who are a "No Show" Cannot Register for a Future Session (Bug Fix)

Under certain circumstances, users who are marked as a "no show" for a face-to-face session cannot register in another session. As part of this software fix, users can now register in future sessions if they are a "no show" in a previous session. Note that a user left in the "Booked" state (e.g. the instructor did not mark their attendance) can still not register in future sessions. In other words, the instructor must save and approve the face-to-face timesheet in order for a user to be able to register in the future.

Delay the 1st Reminder Notifications to Learners for a Week (Improvement)

Programs allow you to send notifications to enrolled users when they are registered in a course and when their courses are approaching a due date. If an administrator were to set an aggressive "Days to complete" in the program, the user may receive both notifications on the same day or week. In other words, it would be possible for a user to be told that they have been registered in a new course on Sunday and receive a reminder on the Monday that the same course is coming due.  As part of this improvement, the reminder notifications are no longer sent unless the user has been registered in the course or program for at least 6 days (to prevent from sending them 2 reminders within a week).

Users Seeing Error when Signing up for a Face-to-face Session (Improvement)

Users can only sign up for one (1) face-to-face session for the same activity. In order to attend a different session, they must first cancel their registration. When trying to sign up for a different session using the calendar, the learner would get an unclear / error message. As part of this improvement, a clear message displayed to the user explains that they must first cancel the session they currently have booked in order to register for a different session.

User is Able to Pay for an Instructor-led Course that is Already Full (Improvement)

When a user purchases a course that contains a Face-to-face activity (using the "Session enrollments" enrolment method), their seat is reserved for 15 minutes. They may still complete their purchase after 15 minutes, but they will be assigned a new seat. Should all the remaining seats be sold AFTER the 15 minutes but BEFORE they complete their purchase, the payment would go through but the user would not be assigned a seat. The user would need to select another session after being enrolled in the course. As part of this improvement, a second verification is done when the purchase closes and if there are no more seats available, the user is displayed a message informing them that the session is full and the payment is not processed. The user has the option to select another session (with available seats) and re-enter their payment information if they want to. This improvement means that if a user doesn't want to sign up for another session (offered at a different time or in a different location), they do not have to request a refund because their will not be charged.

Updating the User's Name Following a Purchase (Improvement)

When a user purchases a course and enters their billing information, they have the ability to store that information in their user's profile for future purchases. (The information being stored includes their name and address, but Dual Code NEVER stores the user's credit card information.) If a user opted to update their user profile information and modified their name in the process (e.g. usually because the name on the credit card they used was different than the name in their user profile in the learning environment), the name on the credit card would appear on their certificate of completion when they completed the course. As part of this improvement, the learning environment will now store the user's address (if and only if they select the option to update it) but will never update the user's first and last name.

New Completion Status Report (New Feature)

A new report called "Completion Status" is now available. This report lists all users enrolled in a course and whether or not they have completed the activities in the course, and the course overall. The report reads directly from the learning record store and therefore provides a much more accurate view of the user's progress. Compared to the "Course Completion" and "Activity Completion" reports, this report for example can:

  • Report on learning records uploaded using a CSV file
  • Report on equivalencies entered or approved by an administrator
  • Report when activities on in progress (instead of versus simply reporting whether the activity is done or not done)
  • Explains that an activity was skipped by the user because it wasn't mandatory for the user in question

This report pulls the information directly from the Learning Record Store, which is the source of truth for activity and course completion information. This means that even if an Instructor unlocks the completion criteria, this report will continue to show an accurate status of a user's completion (whereas the "Course completion" and "Activity Completion" reports would lose this information if the completion criteria changes and show empty checkboxes).

Enrolment Duration Should Never Exceed a License Key (Improvement)

If an Instructor enables payment collection on a course and defines a "License expires after", their expectation is that once a license expires, any user who enrolled in the course using this license will lose access to the course. In reality however, an individual user's enrolment duration was calculated based on the "Enrolment duration" setting and the date the user enrolled in the course using the license key. If both "License expires after" and "Enrolment duration" were set to "365 days", it would be possible for a user who enrolls 1 day prior to the expiration of the license key to have access to the course for another 365 days (so 729 days AFTER the license key was first purchased). Following feedback from clients who sell courses, it was determined that when users self-register using a license key, their enrolment end date will now be calculated as the minimum of the license expiration date and the date which would otherwise be calculated using the "Enrolment duration" setting in the "Self enrolment (Advanced)" method in question. In other words, a user's enrolment end date will never exceed the license expiration date.

If it is set to "No", the user could not submit their feedback in subsequent years / attempts when they are asked to get recertified. Unfortunately, the "Allow multiple submissions" field becomes read-only once learners start submitting their answers. It was therefore impossible to switch a Feedback activity that was initially set not to allow multiple submissions to now allow them.

Program with No Courses Sends a Registration Email (Improvement)

If an administrator adds users to a program that contains no courses and the registration notification for the "User is registered in the program" event is enabled, the learning environment will send users the email in question. The email however will not contain a list of courses (because the program doesn't have any courses associated with it), thereby creating confusion with the learners. As part of this improvement, programs that do not have any courses no longer send any notifications even if the notifications are enabled.

Receipts Not Being Emailed When Combining "Self Enrolment (Advanced)" and PayPalPro (Bug Fix)

When (A) a course is sold using the "Self Enrolment (Advanced) method, (B) the payment processor is PayPalPro and (C) the learning environment is configured to send receipts via email, the receipts may not go out due to an integration issue with PayPalPro's API. The receipts and license keys are still generated, but the user is not informed via email. As part of this software fix, the exception when this occurs is now handled and the receipt along with the key gets sent to the purchaser once PayPalPro confirms that the payment was successful.

Auto Completion Field Adds Duplicate Values to the Conditions (Bug Fix)

When a user defines conditions using the "is one of" operator in either programs or cohorts, under certain circumstances, the matching values appears twice: once in italics and once in regular font. Selecting the italicized value may result in duplicate values in the final list. As part of this fix, the system now only displays a single value in both the search results and the final list.

Consolidation of Permissions (Improvement)

The learning environment offers numerous reports that can be made available to different roles. Some of these roles (e.g. System Administrator or System Coordinator) can see everyone in the organization in these reports, while other users (e.g. Supervisors) can only say the users that they manage. These reports each had a unique capability to determine who can see all users in the system vs. who can only see the users they manage. If the unique capabilities were not all configured identically, it could lead to inconsistencies where an administrator could see all users in a report but only some (or no) users in another report. As part of this improvement, the following reports now share a common capability, thereby ensuring a more consistent experience when viewing reports: Course Completion (Basic / Advanced), Compliance, Learning Records, Program Completion, Time Spent in Activities.

Terms and Conditions Activity with No Completion Criteria Marks Everyone as Complete (Bug Fix)

If a Terms and Conditions activity is added to a course and the instructor forgets to define the activity completion criteria for it, all users are automatically marked as having completed the activity even if they didn't access/accept it. As part of this software fix, if the instructor forgets to define the activity completion criteria for the terms and conditions activity, users will never be marked as complete for this activity.

Instructors who are also Supervisors only See their Staff in the Course-Level Reports (Bug Fix)

An instructor can generally see all users in the reports of the courses they teach. A supervisor on the other hand can only see the users who report to them. If an instructor also happens to be a supervisor, they would only see the users who report to them. As part of this software fix, if an instructor is also a supervisor, they can still see all users in the reports for courses that they teach.
