💙 What we’re excited about in this month’s release…
Get ready, we’ve got a lot to share in our first roundup of 2022! It’s jam-packed full of everything you need to know. We’re even going to highlight a couple of the new features that are now live in your platform from our December What’s In your sandbox post.
Now available in Docebo, is the Ability to include SCORM and xAPI in ILT courses. I was so excited about this new feature that when I was working with our own internal enablement team to launch a course here at Docebo, I wouldn’t let them push it live until we could combine elearning and vILT together.
As well, I invite you to take a look at the My Team Reports section of the December What’s In your sandbox post to learn l about the four new manager reports designed to help your managers stay on top of their team’s development.
Ok, now, let's get into more goodness!
Course Advanced Settings Improvements
Thank you for your feedback on this one! We heard from a number of you that you needed more time to adjust to the changes coming to Course Advance Setting, so this update will be available in your platform on Feb 9th.
We’ll do our best to walk you through all the changes coming to Course Advance Settings, but we encourage you to watch our recent January Readiness Webinar where Adam does a really great job of outlining all of the changes.
The main drivers behind these changes were to move course management into the new admin framework, reduce the number of clicks required to manage courses and bundle options together in a more intuitive manner.
The first thing you will notice is that we have combined the Properties and the Advanced Properties into a single tab.
Under General Settings you will find:
- Details
- Course Additional Fields
- Enrollment Options
- Time Options
- Player
- Navigation
- Certificate Template
Under Advanced Settings you will find
- Catalog Options
- Equivalences
- E-Commerce
- Score & Credits
- Rating & Sharing
- Certifications & Retraining
We have also moved a few things around, gave them new names and snuck in a few additional enhancements. To help you keep track, here’s a handy outline of what’s moved and changed.
For those of you used to the old details tab here are some updates.
-
Moved: Credits to Score & Credits
-
Moved: Navigation Policy to new Navigation tab
-
Moved: Self-Unenrollment to new Enrollment Options tab
-
Moved: Maximum Number of Attempts to new Navigation tab
-
Added: Associated Skills section with the new ability to Associate Skills
-
Moved: Average Time from Time Options to Details tab
Under Catalog Options we updated verbiage and reorganized options.
-
Changed: Show Course To to Course Visibility in Catalogs
-
Changed: Course Subscription to Course Self-Enrollment
-
Changed: Enrollment Policy to Catalog Enrollment Policy
-
Changed: Max subscriptions quota to Maximum Enrollment Quota
Under E-Commerce we added conditional rendering and improved help text.
Under Time Options we added conditional rendering and moved Average Time.
That’s not all! We’ve also renamed Rating & Sharing to Social & Rating and moved the Course Enrollment Link to the new Enrollment Options tab.
Another enhancement added is Equivalences! Prior to this update, we offered Mutual Equivalence or as we called them bidirectional. Meaning that regardless of the course completed, both the source course (course you are currently working on) and the equivalent course would be marked complete. With this redesign, we made a small update giving you the option to select the type of relationship between courses.
-
Source Course - When the source course is completed, all of the target courses linked to it are also marked as completed, but not vice versa
-
Target Course - Target courses are marked as completed when one of the source courses they are linked is completed
-
Mutual Equivalence - All courses are marked as completed when one of them is completed
New Building Block: My Courses & Learning Plans Widget
Docebo Flow allows you to inject learning into your products and applications. In addition to, or as an alternative to the Flow App Launcher, last month we launched Flow Building Blocks as stand-alone learning widgets directly in your product. This allows for a more customized, on-brand, and seamless learning experience.
As part of the Docebo Flow January release, we are introducing the My Courses & Learning Plans widget. Putting this widget inside applications makes it easier for learners to access the content they're enrolled in without distraction.
As you can see from the mock up below, you can inject learning directly into your platform by displaying the full list of courses and learning plans available to your learners. Without leaving our application, they can launch this learning and “grow with the flow”.
New Widget: Test Pass Rate
We have added a new widget to Learning Analytics, Test Pass Rate. This widget will display the current pass rate (percentage of learners that passed) and compare the results with the same time range for the previous year.
Now, you can really dig in and evaluate the overall effectiveness of your content. Looking at your pass rate and filtering on additional user fields, may be able to help you identify where to focus your attention. Is it a particular cohort that is struggling? Is it the content that needs to be improved?
Filter by User Additional Fields
You can now slice and dice your data by Additional (User) Fields. This means, well, that your possibilities are pretty much endless when it comes to comparing your data.
