Global

What's New

• Suspended licenses are now highlighted on the user profile along with the reason for the suspension.
• Users are now shown more detailed information about missing pre-requisites that may make them ineligible to register for a course. Each course's requirements are listed with visual indicators to show what the user needs to complete before they can register for the course in question.
• Course meetings can now be marked as Virtual and include a field to list a meeting link. This information appears in the assignment overview for each candidate in the course, including links to virtual meeting spaces.
• The course editor has been overhauled to be much more user friendly. Highlights include:
  • Step by step process to build courses
  • Updated staff / administrative search modals and assignments
  • Updated text editors for descriptions, disclaimers, and more
