Usability Enhancements
The items in this section show where we are making improvements to the interface for a better experience.
This release finds three enhancements to the learner interface to provide easier access and clearer navigation for learners that improves their engagement and addresses your feedback.
-
The Recent Learning tab on the home page now shows in the first position so that learners can effortlessly resume their in-progress content. This update prioritizes their active learning journey, making it more accessible and intuitive. In cases where there is a high-priority compliance assignment, the Assignment tab displays first.
-
The Goals tab now shows on the home page in the last position. This update makes it easier for learners to access and track their goals directly from the homepage. The visual style of the Goals widget on the My Achievements page has also been refreshed, enhancing the overall user experience.
-
When learners navigate through the library down to a Subject page, the header now reads Channels/Journeys to accurately reflect that learners may see both channels and journeys within the subject. Previously, the label only indicated Channels.
The AI Assistant continues its phased rollout through the end of November. For those organizations that have the AI Assistant, learners can now fully minimize the AI Assistant. This update introduces a down arrow in the panel view, allowing learners to minimize the assistant to the bottom of the page, making only the header visible. The arrow then turns into an up arrow for reopening the panel. Learners also see a smooth slide animation and updated icons for a more intuitive experience.
In addition, when a learner launches a content recommendation from within the AI Assistant, the content now launches in the same tab, enhancing the learners' experience and minimizing distractions to keep the learning journey seamless. The assistant minimizes on content launch but remains in view, allowing learners to maximize it as needed.
This release finds two enhancements to the Message center that enable learners to efficiently manage their messages. Learners see these enhancements in both the mobile and web interfaces.
The enhancements include:
- The ability to Mark all as read with a single click. The unread message count is updated accordingly, providing a cleaner interface.
- A new Unread only toggle switch. When the switch is off, all messages display. When the switch is on, only unread messages display. The default setting for the switch is off.
