[Updated] Coming Soon: New Layout for Courses and Learning Plan Player

Looks okay, but I wouldn’t have targeted the course player page as the most important needed update.

Email Notifications, Background Jobs, Learning Plans, Dashboards, Analytics, Widgets, and other overhauls are much more needed.

So exciting to see these updates!!

Would it be useful (needed) to allow the Admin to re-order the tabs presented to the learner? For example, have the Course Description first, then the Instructor tab, ect?

Fantastic news! URLs is the single biggest one for us. Rewind but not fast forward - and skip back 15 sec - are big for us too!

I get complaints mostly about learning plans interface(s) and no-calendar-widget-on-mobile, so far.

Are you limiting beta users per company?

Looks good, can’t wait to dig deeper and see what are user base thinks! 

I’ll probably use the beta on sandbox and wait for the final for my production environment

My users do NOT like change~!

Hello @jliberatore, the beta would be an opt-in feature, as an admin you would be able to enable the new layout for yourself to do all the needed tweaks, configuration and testing.

When you are satisfied then you can enable for the whole user base. This allows you to communicate and plan the change without being tied to our release date.

Also @lrodman suggestion is likely the best approach, it’s a pretty big change, leveraging an environment where you can play and showcase your configuration is a good idea.

Do we have an ETA on the URLs fix? We’re juuuuust gearing up (500+ unique users have logged in so far) and I’m starting to get complaints on that one!

Thank you so much for sharing this information. I look forward to next sneak peek. 

@claudio.mazza nice changes...my concern is that it’s quite a big shift for those users used to the current views. I agree that updates are needed but it would be nice to have an opt-in option so we can activate the updates once we are ready…

hard to say whether evrytinbg will fit into place but I do like the direction you are taking...the pages look nice and neat and easy to navigate...URL upgrade is great!!

Thank you.

Will we still have the option to have the table of contents visible by default when a student enters the course?

Also, I’m eager to see the updates to the learning plan player page & navigation!

Will the course URL also be the same for unauthenticated users? (Those browsing the public catalog?)

We have several admins for our site as well as higher level decision makers.  I just want to make sure that those core decision makers will be able to beta test the changes before pushing them live to the rest of our users. 

Yay - cant wait for improvements.

This is exciting! @claudio.mazza what does it look like when you have 3 or more training materials in a course?

The video showed an ILT example without a Content Tab. We need that prominently displayed for our blended courses in which the learner attends live events and then has self-study content they have to review to prepare for the next day’s event. 

I concur with @colin.schott ‘s suggestion to be able to reorder the tabs. We even want the ability to hide some of them. 

I would echo what was said above about having an option to have the table of contents always visible. I know this was a work-in-progress shared but it seemed to be a bit buried if a course had multiple materials (i.e. I click start learning and 1st SCORM plays, then they close it). From what I could see, it wouldn’t be super obvious there was additional materials and how to access them. Maybe it will be more obvious when it’s fully built out. 

For ILT, I hope these changes eliminate the need to click a drop-down to expand a section to join the event - that’s the biggest complaint I hear about ILT navigation. 

Looking forward to the enhancements - the one link thing is huge! Love that!

Always good to see Docebo listening to customers and adding improvements! The URL change is huge for us as this always causes confusion - just to check the URL works whether the user is enrolled or not? 

On the course player - we use single course shells and a folder structure to make multi-language content/translations accessible to a global user base so it’s vital that we have the option for the table of contents to always be on. 

When you first launch the cause before you start learning, will we have the option to replace the woman on the scooter? To our learners this would not make sense as it’s completely different to our branding. The rate now feature also seems to be less obvious to me. 

How will this impact links when sharing between extended enterprise domains? For example, I have an internal users who is in support and would like to share a link to the course in the customer facing domain. 

Are we able to opt in using one of our lower environments?

@claudio.mazza - Regarding this update: “Along with these page redesigns, we’ve also worked behind the scenes to fulfill high impact ideas such as enabling a single link for all different pages where a user could access the course.” 

Will existing links need to be updated or will they still work once the single link update is in place?

Hello @John S yes, the old link will still work, so if you have sent it via mail or bookmarked the old link it will allow you to access the new course page.

Of course we suggest to move to the new link, it will allow to automatically redirect to the best view possible. An example:

• If I haven’t logged in the LMS but the course is available in the public catalog I’ll land in the public catalog page of the course;
• If I have logged in the LMS and the course is visible to me (remember that visibility will still remain an important factor to allow learners to browse courses) I’ll land in the internal catalog page of the course;
• If I have logged in the LMS and I’m enrolled in the course I’ll land in the player page of the course itself.
